한국어 입문: 한글부터 드라마 대사까지 (Korean for Beginners: From Hangeul to K-Drama Lines)

What You Will Master in This Course

1. Korean Basics: Master Hangeul in 2 Hours (The Easiest Alphabet Ever!)

   Lay the foundation of Korean—you can’t read or speak Korean without Hangeul, and it’s way easier than you think:
   • Hangeul Fundamentals: Learn all 24 basic Hangeul characters (14 consonants + 10 vowels) with fun mnemonic tricks that make memorization a breeze. For example:
     • ㅂ (b) looks like a boomerang—think “boomerang starts with B!”
     • ㅏ (a) is a straight line + a dot—imagine saying “ah!” with your mouth open wide.
   • Syllable Building: Learn how to combine consonants and vowels into syllables (e.g., ㅂ + ㅏ = 바 = ba, ㄱ + ㅗ = 고 = go). Unlike English, Hangeul is a phonetic alphabet—once you learn the rules, you can read any Korean word, even if you don’t know its meaning!
   • Pronunciation Guide: Avoid common beginner mistakes (e.g., mixing up ㄱ/ㅋ, ㄷ/ㅌ) with audio examples from a native Korean instructor. Learn how to pronounce Korean’s unique sounds (like the rolled “r” or soft “j”) to sound like a local.
   • Practical Exercise: Read 30 common Korean words (e.g., 안녕하세요 = annyeonghaseyo = “hello”, 김치 = kimchi = “kimchi”) in your first lesson—yes, you can read Korean in 2 hours!
2. K-Drama & Daily Conversations: Speak Like Your Favorite Characters (8 Hours)

   Learn to use 100+ high-frequency phrases from K-Dramas and real-life scenarios—this is where the fun begins:
   • Iconic K-Drama Lines: Master the most memorable lines from popular shows and use them in conversations:
     • “사랑해요!” (Saranghaeyo!) = “I love you!” (the classic confession line)
     • “괜찮아요?” (Gwaenchanaeyo?) = “Are you okay?” (perfect for comforting friends)
     • “맛있어요!” (Mashisseoyo!) = “It’s delicious!” (use this at a Korean BBQ restaurant)
   • Daily Life Scenarios: Handle common situations like ordering food, shopping, and traveling with ease:
     • Eating Out: “이거 주세요!” (Igeo juseyo!) = “I’ll have this!” / “얼마예요?” (Eolmayeyo?) = “How much is it?”
     • Shopping: “이거 사이즈 있나요?” (Igeo saijeu innayo?) = “Do you have this in my size?”
     • Travel: “역 어디에 있나요?” (Yeok eodie innayo?) = “Where is the station?” / “도와주세요!” (Dowajuseyo!) = “Help me!”
   • Role-Play Practice: Act out K-Drama scenes and real-life dialogues with the instructor—you’ll practice speaking Korean in a fun, low-pressure way. No more “silent Korean”—you’ll be chatting like a drama character in no time!
3. Korean Culture & Communication Tips (2 Hours)

   Learn the unwritten rules of Korean communication to avoid awkward mistakes:
   • Honorifics Made Simple: Understand the difference between formal (존댓말, jondaetmal) and casual (반말, banmal) speech—use formal speech with strangers/elders, and casual speech with friends. This is the most important rule in Korean!
   • K-Drama & Culture Connections: Learn why certain lines are used in specific scenes (e.g., why characters bow when they apologize) and how Korean culture influences language. You’ll understand K-Dramas even better after this!
   • Long-Term Learning Hacks: Discover how to use K-Dramas, K-Pop, and Korean variety shows to keep improving your skills after the course. Watch shows with Korean subtitles, sing along to lyrics, and turn your hobby into a learning tool!
   • Final Exercise: Recreate a 3-minute K-Drama scene with your new Korean skills—you’ll be shocked at how much you’ve learned!
