What is National Institute of Korean Language's Korean-English Learners' Dictionary?
- National Institute of Korean Language's Korean-English Learners' Dictionary is a bilingualised dictionary for Korean learners, consisting of translations from the Basic Korean Dictionary into English.
  
  With an increase in the number of Korean learners and a long history of Korean education, the demand for a dictionary that takes account of the diversity of linguistic cultures of learners and the ever-changing educational environment has gradually grown. In order to meet these demands and circumstances, National Institute of Korean Language launched the Basic Korean Dictionary in 11 languages in 2012. Experts from many different fields such as Korean education experts, translators, native speakers who are proficient in Korean, and system developers have participated in the project over an extended period of time, so as to develop a user-friendly dictionary of optimum quality.
  
  The key tool that is indispensable when learning a new language is, of course, a dictionary. We hope this dictionary will be of help to all Korean learners and teachers.

I would like to find a word in Korean, but I don’t remember exactly what it was. Is there any way to find it?
- When looking up a Korean word, you can use the wildcard symbols (*, ?) with your search words even if you don’t remember exactly what word you were looking up. Please insert the symbol “*” or “?” before and after the your search word.
  
  The wildcard symbol “*” means that regardless of the number of words, you can have all the search results including the word you search.
  
  If you put “*” before the word you’re searching for, you will get search results that end with your search term. On the other hand, if you put “*” after the word you’re searching for, you will get search results that start with your search term. For instance, if look up “*나무”, you will get the words ending with ‘나무’ such as ‘가시나무’, ‘감나무’, and ‘개암나무’.
  
  Usage example: ‘*나무’, ‘나무*’, ‘나무*나무’
  
  Unusable example: ‘*나*무’, ‘**나무’
  
  The wildcard symbol “?” means that you will get search results matched with the number of characters you specify.
  
  If you write one “?” after your search word, you will get three-character words.
  For example, if you write “나무?”, you will get three-character words starting with “나무” such as ‘나무꾼’, ‘나무람’, and so forth.
  You can use several ‘?’ in a row. If you put two “?”s after “나무”, you will get four-character words starting with your search term.
  
  Usage example: ‘??나무’, ‘나무??’, ‘나무?나무’
  
  Unusable example: ‘?나무?’
