Editorial Book Review:

By William Reimers

What's Your Name? by Albert Jung is a revolutionary manual that rethinks our understanding of language, identity, and cultural ties. Jung introduces readers to Hangul in a clear and imaginative manner, not as a language to learn but as a flexible means of expressing oneself across linguistic divides.

Jung's writing is both informative and easily comprehensible. Throughout the book, readers are guided through the evolution of Hangul from its 15th-century origins to its modern adaptations, seamlessly integrating historical context with practical instruction. Jung simplifies the process of transcribing names into Hangul for readers who lack prior knowledge of Korean by employing interactive exercises, structured lessons, and engaging visuals.

The central themes of What's Your Name? are inclusivity, identity, and the impact of names. Jung emphasizes the significance of accurately representing one's name, acknowledging the personal and cultural significance it carries. The book fosters a sense of global interconnectedness and respect for individual identities by offering a method for transcribing names from a diverse array of languages into Hangul.

Jung's work has a profound emotional and intellectual impact. Readers are encouraged to contemplate their own names and the narratives they convey, thereby cultivating a more profound understanding of cultural nuance and linguistic diversity. The book's innovative approach enables individuals to celebrate their identities in new and meaningful ways and to bridge communication gaps.

What's Your Name? is a wonderful book for people who are interested in language, culture, or how people converse. This book takes a fresh and interesting look at identity and how we communicate to each other. We can learn something new from this wise book by Albert Jung, and it also helps us understand what names mean in the present day.
