Book “Overview of Korean Daily Life”

From Korean Cultural Center:
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea has just published bilingual book titled “Overview of Korean daily life”. With 200 pages, the book provides basic information about Korea, daily life culture and other useful information for Vietnamese people who are living or will live in Korea.

Korean Cultural Center will republish this book and release in Vietnam with a view to supporting Vietnamese going to live in Korea, especially Vietnamese women who will get married and migrate to Korea to have much knowledge of Korea – their second homeland.

The book will be delivered freely to Vietnamese brides getting married to Korean men through project of Korea Center for United Nations Human Rights Policy (KOCUN), language centers and Korean Department in Vietnamese University. In addition, the center also intends to give books to laborers who will work in Korea through Ministry of Labour- Invalids and Social Affairs of Vietnam.

At the beginning of 2011, Korean Cultural Center published bilingual Korean – Vietnamese fairy-tale “Cây khế” (golden starfruit tree) for children of Korean Vietnamese family for fostering understanding of culture of two countries.

Korean Cultural Center has a plan to publish the second and third book in this bilingual fairytale series.
