Beginner Korean Reading & Writing Practice Club

‼️CLASS PREREQUISITE‼️:  Please note that this class is for students who already know how to read and write in Korean.  They should have finished the classes Beginner Korean 101 and 201, or they should have a strong grasp on all 40 letters of the Korean alphabet (Hangul/Hangeul) and know how to combine consonants and vowels into syllables/words.  If your learner has not learned the Korean alphabet yet or does not know how Korean words are structured, there are two courses that I offer (Beginner Korean 101 and Beginner Korean 201) that are available to learn these concepts.**

In this ongoing weekly class, we will learn new vocabulary words each week and practice reading and writing them in class together.  Students may join class at any time as each week is a new lesson.  During the first part of class, we will practice reading, pronouncing, and writing new vocabulary words together.  The second part of class will be practicing reading and writing the words together with activities and/or games. 

(If your learner is also in the other class Beginner Korean Conversation Club, a speaking/listening-based class, this class is a great way to reinforce words learned in that class as it mostly follows its topics and words.  However, Beginner Korean Writing Club and Beginner Korean Conversation Club are not dependent on each other.  Please feel free to take either one or both!)

Class instructions will be in English, and the teacher will demonstrate the Korean pronunciations (this is not a language immersion class).  After each lesson, the teacher will send a reference handout and other study materials that has the vocabulary learned in class for continued practiced.  

* Materials needed:
     1.  Paper/notebook and pencil for notes.  (A dedicated notebook for this class is recommended so students can keep adding on more vocabulary in it each week.)
     2.  A whiteboard with a dry erase marker for practice activities (you can always use a scrap piece of paper instead if you do not have a whiteboard)
     3.  *Optional:  Your letter sheets with the Korean alphabet and sounds from Beginner Korean 101 & 201 if you would like to use them as reference during class
