Korean for Beginners

About this course

Begin reading Hangul from day one and build from there. This course takes you through Korean sounds, syllable blocks and the particles that hold sentences together, then into the polite speech you need for real conversations.

Across seven days you will practise greetings, numbers, shopping, ordering food and finding your way, with attention to the etiquette that shapes how Koreans speak to one another. The course runs on demand for individuals and groups and closes with an Alalamia certificate.
