Learn to Speak Korean 1

Yonsei University develops Korean speaking through introductions and common social situations. Friends and hometowns lead into food, ordering and shopping. This course helps learners compare a topic-based conversation sequence with an introduction centered on reading Hangul, while giving repeated context for using a small set of practical expressions.

What you will learn

• Introduce friends and describe a hometown.
• Use food-related expressions in an ordering situation.
• Discuss places to shop and simple purchases.

Put it into practice

Create a fictional restaurant exchange with two possible orders. Practice both roles and change one detail so the response requires recall rather than repetition.
