It's a semester class for students who are interested in Korean culture and language.  We study basic Korean language and research about Korea and Korean culture through active projects, with a well-experienced native Korean teacher.  You will be able to have basic conversation in Korean, and understand basic Korean culture after this class.  You're also going to be on a proper level to prepare for TOPIK(Test of Proficiency in Korean) level 1 to 2 after this course.  For high school credit, assessment is going to be provided when requested.  This class is designed for the students who finished the Korean characters and worked on Beginner Korean 1 Part 1 class, or who have studied all the topics in Beginner Korean 1 Part 1.  The link is above this paragraph, so you can see what is taught in this class.


This course is the second semester class I offer.  There will be a total of 2 years of 4 semester classes for beginners(Korean 1 and 2 for TOPIK 1-2), one year of 2 semester classes for intermediates(Korean 3 for TOPIK 3-4), one year of 2 semester classes for Advanced students(Korean 4 for TOPIK 5-6), and this class is the second part of Beginner Korean 1.  It's highly recommended taking this class first before the other advanced classes.  We're going to review what we've learned in previous classes, work on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and culture.  We're going to start working on having conversations from here.


This course is a very dynamic and interactive format.  Each week, we're going to have one grammar or conversation class and one additional activity class.  Additional class is going to be one of reading, vocabulary, or culture.  There will be optional homework each week, and the teacher is going to give feedback if the learner submits homework.  Homework is going to be provided optionally, to suggest a further study for learners.  In the main grammar or conversation class, we study vocabulary & grammar, learn expressions, and practice with conversation.  In the additional class, we're going to extend our vocabulary for the grammar class, practice pronunciation and reading to speak like a native speaker, study about Korean culture, and try tasks.  There will be a couple of projects the students are going to independently work on through the culture class during the semester.  After this course, the learners will have a balanced skill in reading, listening, speaking, and writing in Korean language, and have a general understanding of Korean culture.

I'm a native Korean speaker who has lived in Korea for 28 years since I was born, and majored in biology.  I moved to the US from Korea, in 2021.  I'm fluent in both Korean and English.  I got perfect scores in Korean language, math, and science sections in the Korean SAT.  I have experience working in a college press and a thesis correction team in Korea.  I've taught Korean language to Korean students for college entrance exams, and all ranges of non-native students for more than 9 years.  I've helped many students move and study in Korea as exchange students and college students.  I teach Korean language to Korean teachers, and I'm currently tutoring Korean adults working on a Korean government officer test as well.  I've worked very hard to be the best teacher for you.  I'm looking forward to seeing you in the class :)
