KBS is really thoughtful!!!
I think it is really needed in many people, but we don't make it before.
It is really big changes to make our think to real thing.

In multicultural families in Korea and second and third generations of overseas Koreans don't know about not also Korean language but  Korean cultures.
So This book tell about cultural tips, and I think it is very helpful in real life.

I hope Korean will be multilanguage in the world.
