About Korean level 2
This course complements Korean level 1 and will further prepare you to interact with Koreans, whether you are going to Korea on holiday, for your studies or for business purposes.
During this course you will learn:
- basic grammar, verb forms and different levels of speech so that you will be able to have a conversation at a more advanced level.
- what is culturally appropriate in different situations. Because language and culture are closely related, you will not only focus on the linguistic aspects of the Korean language but also on the Korean culture.
