[初級韓国語セメスター] 韓国語 1 パート 1 - 自分のペースで

This is 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 a perfect class to begin after learning the Korean characters Hangul, but you still can take this class with the teacher's help.  If you need help with the Korean characters Hangul, please check the link below.   Taking this semester class and the character course at the same time is going to be a great idea as well.

This course is the most foundational 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 first of the series.  It's highly recommended taking this class first before the other classes.  We're going to start from very beginner level vocabulary to making basic sentences for language, and from understanding basic culture to researching things the learners are interested in for culture.

This is a flex class version of my live semester Korean classes, so there are no live meetings, but material will be posted for 15 units.  The student will have access to a class recording weekly to watch, as well as additional written and visual documents to augment the recording.  Each week, students are expected to respond to a discussion question on the message board, as well as to respond to at least 2 other student's responses.  The student will also have various quizzes and interactive assignments to check their understanding of the video content, creating a workshop feel during the 15 units.  Also in each unit, students will have an opportunity to complete their own projects related to the class content and to receive individualized teacher feedback.  I will be available for office hours and meetings throughout the course by appointment according to your time zone. The teacher will provide worksheets which students can practice writing with, and pronunciation files recorded by the native Korean teacher.

In each unit, we're going to have one grammar class and one additional activity class.  Additional class is going to be one of reading, vocabulary, or culture.  In the grammar class, we're going to learn the theory first, practice with the teacher, and try tasks outside the class without the teacher.  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 each main grammar 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.


We're going to work with slides produced by teacher Ethan from BE Education.  We're going to work on reading, listening, speaking, and writing in each class, including the culture class.  We're going to work on a test made by teacher Ethan from BE Education, to encourage the learners to work on studying.  The students are going to make their own presentation with Google slides or PowerPoint for the presentation in culture class.  There will be 3 more following semester classes, and other independent classes which are going to be efficient to study with this class.  Please check the classes on my profile, if you're interested!

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 :)
