Who is the course for?



No previous knowledge/experience required. A good level of English will be helpful. Your tutor will be a native speaker of Korean, but will use English as the common linguistic medium for grammatical input.


You will be able to : •Get to know the Korean alphabet, Hangul, pronunciation and learn how to spell • Identify some basic concepts of Korean grammar. • Perform and understand simple dialogues within the topic areas covered : polite words and expressions, greetings, introduce yourself and others, daily schedule, location, shopping(numbers to say the price and how many) , weather, making appointment and suggesting meeting( the name of months, day and saying time), weekend activities(hobbies).

How is the course organised?

Mainly conversation; role-play and vocabulary/grammar linked to particular topics addressed. Basic reading and writing included. We use course books, handouts, worksheets; audio and videotapes. You will be encouraged to speak as much as possible in class, to work in small groups and pairs, to take an active part in your learning; and each lesson, to work on the four skills: listening (and understanding), speaking, reading and writing.

What extra study or practice is expected outside of the class?

15 minutes study/revision daily minimum, reviewing and practising the previous lesson; sentences and words to learn by heart; reading aloud conversations as many times as you can, homework set by the tutor. Try and listen to audio files, get material from the internet, watch a video - anything to extend your Korean! Find a Korean speaker to practise with, if you can.
