Textbooks

Level 1 we use the 맞춤한국어 textbooks, which are designed for learners who are new to Hangul. After Level 1, we use the 한국어와 한국문화 series, which is designed for adults learning the Korean language and culture. The series consists of four books: 초급 1 (Beginner 1), 초급 2 (Beginner 2), 중급 1 (Intermediate 1) and 중급 2 (Intermediate 2).

Level 1

This class is for students with no previous experience studying Korean. You will learn how to read and write Hangul (the Korean writing system), along with basic Korean expressions. The course covers beginner-level vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structures, with a focus on the present tense (polite form). We use the textbooks, 맞춤한국어 1 & 2.

초급 1 (Part 1)

This class is for students who can already read and write Hangul and have a basic understanding of Korean sentence structure. You will learn how to introduce yourself, what to say at shops and restaurants and practise answering simple questions about yourself. You will also learn numbers, negative sentences and past tense. 

If you have completed Level 1 or have learned Hangul, you are ready for this class.

초급 1 (Part 2)

This class covers the second half of the 초급 1 textbook. Students who have completed the first half of the book can enrol in this class. Topics include polite forms, future tense, imperatives, longer sentence structures, practical everyday expressions for daily life.

초급 2 (Part 2)

In 초급 2, you will learn everyday expressions for familiar topics such as daily routines, hobbies, and past experiences. By the end of this level, you will be able to understand and use frequently occurring expressions related to immediate needs, including shopping, interactions with family and friends and talking about everyday routines and personal experiences.

Part 2 continues with the second half of the 초급 2 textbook. Students who have completed the first half of the book can enrol in this class.

중급 1 (Part 2)

중급 1 develops your ability to communicate in a wider range of social, workplace, and formal situations. You will learn intermediate-level vocabulary, grammar, and more complex sentence structures that can be useful in professional and more formal settings. After completing 중급 1, you will be able to describe experiences and events, explain plans and intentions, give simple reasons for your opinions, produce connected spoken and written texts and describe your dreams, goals, and experiences with greater detail.

Part 2 covers the second half of the 중급 1 textbook. Students who have completed the first half of the book can enrol in this class.

중급 2 (Part 2)

중급 2 is designed for students who want to strengthen their ability to communicate more fluently and accurately in a variety of situations. You will continue building your vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structures so that you can express more detailed ideas, opinions, and experiences.

This textbook focuses on language needed for more formal communication, including workplace, academic, and public settings. You can comprehend news articles, understand general social issues, discuss abstract topics, and explain the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

After completing 중급 2, you will be able to discuss a wider range of familiar and abstract topics, express opinions more clearly and naturally, explain causes, reasons, and results, understand and use more connected and natural speech, and read and write longer texts with greater accuracy and fluency. 

Part 2 covers the second half of the 중급 2 textbook. Students who have completed the first half of the book can enrol in this class.
