Overview of "Sejong Korean" Textbooks

A Comprehensive Approach to Korean Language Learning

"Sejong Korean" represents a significant milestone in Korean language education, particularly for overseas learners. This series, revised by the National Institute of the Korean Language, marks the first major update in 11 years.

Engaging Content for Practical Use

Following the introductory section, the course content progressively involves learners in activities related to everyday communication. These activities include tasks such as stating phone numbers, arranging appointments, and other daily interactions. The aim is to foster interest and immersion in the Korean language through practical and engaging learning experiences.
