Acknowledgments
I would like to thank the teachers and students who have
given their time and effort to develop this workbook. I am
grateful to my Korean language students who offered
suggestions and feedback, and to the following people who
worked on the project as student assistants over a period of
several years: Susie Cho, Nari Eom, Jiwoon Lee, Grace Kim,
Kiyoe Minami, and Mark Bennett. I owe many thanks to my
colleague Ross King who read over the manuscript carefully
and made helpful comments. I can always count on his
support. Special thanks go to Steve Lee who provided
editorial support and valuable content and design suggestions.
Mi-kyung Kwon kindly read over the manuscript and
arranged for the recording of the compact disc while I was in
Korea. Illustrator Kate Carl and Senior Editor at Tuttle
Publishing, Bob Graham, were patient and understanding
throughout many revisions and delays. The Centre for Korean
Research at the University of British Columbia provided a
publications grant. This work was supported by the Academy
of Korean Studies of the Republic of Korea in the year 2009.

The Tuttle Story:
“Books to Span the East and West”
Most people are surprised to learn that the world’s largest
publisher of books on Asia had its humble beginnings in the
tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder,
Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped
in publishing. And his first love was naturally
books—especially old and rare editions.
Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General
Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the
Japanese publishing industry. He later founded the Charles E.
Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the
world’s leading independent publishers.
Though a westerner, Tuttle was hugely instrumental in
bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for
information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993,
Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture,
history and art—a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor
6
with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute
Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese.
With a backlist of 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more
active today than at any time in its past—inspired by Charles
Tuttle’s core mission to publish fine books to span the East
and West and provide a greater understanding of each.
