Course overview

Building on foundational skills, this course will help you develop greater confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing Korean in everyday contexts.

You will expand your vocabulary, improve grammatical accuracy, and deepen your understanding of Korean culture. By the end of the course, you should be able to hold simple conversations, understand short texts, and write basic sentences.

The programme is intended to be responsive to the ability and interests of the specific class and so the tutor will modify and curate the content depending on the development of skills across the whole group.
