This class is self-paced and can be started at any time.

Are you interested in Korean culture?  Do you want to understand what Korean people say?  Are you planning a trip to Korea one day?  This is the right place to start learning Korean!  Let's begin the first step of the great journey.  

I am a qualified native Korean teacher, who is fluent both in Korean and English, lived in Korea for 28 years and just moved to the US 3 months ago!  I received a perfect score from the Korean section of the Korean SAT.  Furthermore, I have experience working in the college press and a thesis correction team of my university and experience teaching non-native speakers, native Korean students and native Korean teachers in Korean language for more than 7 years.  I'm sure that I'm going to be a good teacher and a friend to start this journey.We're going to work with slides I make.  I'll explain how Korean characters are made, how those work, then we're going to study how to read, how to write, how to pronounce, and practice it together.  We're going to see the images of Korea taken by the teacher and talk about Korean culture every class as well.  

After this class, the learners will be able to read, write and pronounce any Korean characters anywhere! This class doesn't require any background knowledge to take.  Feel free to join!  The teacher will provide worksheets which students can practice writing with, and pronunciation files recorded by the native Korean teacher.  

We're going to study the basic 24 characters for the first 3 classes, and advanced characters which are extension of the basic characters-5 double consonants, and 11 compound vowels(diphthongs)-in the next 2 classes.  Here's the detailed plan for each class!  

After this level, the learners can read any Korean anywhere.  Congratulations!  You just made the first step of the great journey.  See you in the following classes!
