"Long long ago, when tigers used to be smoking..."  Oh, you're here!  The story just started.  This is how we start traditional stories in Korea!  Do you want to join the Korean story?  It's going to be so much fun and you'll learn lots of things as well.  Do you know how to read the Korean characters Hangul?  That's going to be so helpful if you help us reading, but no worries if you don't know how to read yet--I will help you, so let's study together.

This class is taught by Teacher Yonghi.  Yonghi is a native Korean speaker who currently lives in the US.  She has experience teaching Korean language to both Korean native students and non-native students!

We're going to study for 25 minutes every week with a new story, which is completely independent.  Just jump in, and you don't need to worry if you missed anything in previous classes.  We're going to practice reading, pronunciation and listening while we're reading the stories together.  We're going to focus on studying some characters and words.  There is a class for older students, so please check those if you're interested!  This class doesn't require any background knowledge to take, but it's going to be amazing if you have studied the Korean characters.  Feel free to join and let's have a fun time!  The teacher will provide worksheets which students can practice writing with and pronunciation files recorded by the native Korean teacher.
