A big let-down
I bought this dictionary in Canada before I left for Korea. I chose it because I thought Berlitz was supposed to have an established reputation. When I got to Korea, the first day in my apartment I tried to decipher the buttons on my washing machine. I spent an hour looking through this dictionary and NOT ONE word that appeared on my washing machine was in the dictionary. So the Korean-English half wasn't much good to me. Next I tried the English-Korean part, looking up the word for "bag" so I could ask for one at the grocery store. The Korean word listed under "bag (paper, plastic)" was "kabang", which is actually the Korean word for "purse". I had a friend take a look and in the quick scan of English-Korean listings on that page, he said most of them were wrong.This dictionary has been absolutely no help to me since i got to Korea and I've decided to give up on it and buy a different one.
