Students expand high-frequency vocabulary and strengthen core grammar needed to handle common situations such as making plans, shopping and ordering, describing routines, talking about past experiences, and expressing preferences. Learners will practice Korean through interactive communication, pair activities, role-plays, short presentations, and guided writing. Cultural topics may include daily life in Korea, etiquette, food, school life, and popular culture (e.g., K-pop, dramas) as appropriate for beginner learners.
