At first, I was quite skeptical about delving into a new language with an audio-focused approach. Growing up in Brooklyn’s melting pot meant encountering myriad cultures, yet tackling Korean felt like deciphering a hidden treasure map – confusing and intriguing at the same time. However, as I flipped through Kyunghee’s Listening and Speaking Intermediate Book1 while catching sounds via QR codes woven elegantly throughout its pages, my initial hesitation waned into sheer fascination. Engaging activities linked sound to relevant social contexts allowed me not just to grasp pronunciation nuances but also absorbed practical communication that feels true to everyday situations—lunch conversations with friends or debating pop culture topics over coffee! Before long, excitement bubbled inside of me—a personal renaissance awaited every lesson ahead.
