The words are arranged according to the romanized pronunciation of a word, for example 'nuni ssain' [snowy field] is listed under 'n'.

After each romanized entry you see the Hangul, or script of the word, followed by the meaning of the word.

If you have decided that you need a dictionary then you probably already know how to read Hangul script. I agree with the previous reviewer that it is awkward using romanization again after having learned Hangul, it's annoying.

Other than that I have no complaints, it is modern and comprehensive.
Some of the words or expressions you can find include: 'economic boom, denim jeans, population density, baseball glove, mean with money...'.
The typesetting and color-use is very nice, easy on the eyes. Rating: 4 / 5

This is the best dictionary ever. I will be traveling to Korea next month and feel that this will well prepare me to get better aquainted not only with the language but the culture as well. Rating: 5 / 5
