This book lists approximately 4,800 core Korean vocabulary for school, examinations, business, and travel. Main entries are in Hangul (Korean alphabet) alphabetically with Chinese characters (traditional font).  Chinese characters (both simplified and traditional fonts if applicable) and Pinyin (Romanized standard Chinese pronunciation) follow in the same line.

Common Chinese character words are written in blue, while certain words with same meaning but with different syllable order are written in red.  Some syllables with partially different fonts are also written in red.

In case of part of speech, most of Korean verbs are in the form of ‘noun+‘하다(hada)’ with some exceptions.
