It's 'Berlitz Phrasebook and Dictionary', printed in November 1998.
There are also a few errors in it. They've confused the words for 'tomato' and 'potato', for instance. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh Cinderella 그댄 빛나는 LED 구두를 신어버린 롤리델라
제 12일 These days, I am listening to the same Korean songs over and over. I'm more able to stand doing this than in the past, because my listening and comprehension skills are better, so it's not as boring. Korean word of the day: 취사 지역 - a picnic area Dutch word of the day: stijgend - rising, ascendant 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I mostly asked to make sure it wasn't the Lonely Planet phrasebook that I've been using (which seems to get very good reviews from what I've read). I almost got the Berlitz one instead, but the Lonely Planet one seemed better liked overall. I wonder...has Berlitz quality just dropped off recently or is it something specific with Berlitz and Korean? I posted a bit of a rant in another section here a while back about how annoying the Berlitz Concise Korean-English dictionary is to use (everything from the unnecessary difficulty caused by having the K-to-E side sorted by their flexible romanization method to extremely common words that are simply absent, like "네" for "yes").

I don't know if this is a recent thing for Berlitz, or if it has always been like this. I do know that Berlitz and other companies who operate language schools tend to franchise out their entire operation in Korea to Korean businessmen, as it is difficult or impossible for foreigners to own or operate businesses here. The same goes for Japan. Edited by str0be on 11 April 2010 at 6:09pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

더 멋진 내가 되는 날 갚아구겠어 잊자 마
제 15일 목요일 2010년 4월 8일 These past few days, I've been continuing to memorize vocabulary and repeatedly listening to the same songs. I found a useful website about Korean which is pitched at just about the right level for me. Korean word of the day:: 무작정 - without any particular plan, blindly, rashly 무작정 쫓아갔어 Dutch word of the day:: het tuig - riff-raff, scum langharig werkschuw tuig Edited by str0be on 08 April 2010 at 8:49am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

너무너무 아름다워 네 모습에 넋이 빠져 버린 나
제 17일 토요일 2010년 4월 10일 Listened to several KoreanClass101 lessons. Got some more phrasebook vocab down. Bought a nice notebook where I'll draw pictures of mnemonics. Korean word of the day:: 마취 - anaesthesia My phrasebook says 국소 마취 is 'local anesthesia' but Google Dictionary says 국부 마취 is. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Google Translate gives some strange answers for Korean at times. Try taking a Korean phrase you know well and translate it, then change something trivial (like adding/removing a ~요 ending) and watch the results. Sometimes a change as simple as that will give a completely different meaning (due to how their pattern-matching engine works).
For reference, my Min-Jung Essence K-to-E dictionary lists 국부마취 as "local anasthesia" in one of the examples under the 국부 entry. However, under 국소 it lists 국부 as a synonym, so perhaps both will work. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
