Korean Level 3 | Evenings

About this course

The course focuses on communicating about places and locations in Korean. Learners practise asking about destinations, describing where people and objects are, discussing movement to and from places, and using relevant particles, negation and existence expressions. Vocabulary includes everyday locations and positional terms. Lessons combine spoken communication with systematic work on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Group activities and role-plays provide opportunities to use the language, while the teacher conducts the class in Korean to develop listening and comprehension. The course also introduces cultural references including PC방, 찜질방, 노래방 and Insa-dong.
