Features: This book is designed for students majoring in Korean at colleges and universities, and is also suitable for various Korean language classes and self-study. The entire book is divided into four volumes, with each volume covering one semester, intended for first and second-year students. The book begins with the pronunciation of Korean letters. Based on the patterns and characteristics of Korean pronunciation, as well as the difficulties faced by beginners in learning Korean, it provides a detailed introduction and compares it with Chinese pronunciation to help learners accurately grasp the key points of Korean pronunciation. Each lesson includes text, vocabulary, grammar and idioms, and exercises. The text is divided into two parts: situational dialogues and short essays, covering both spoken and written forms. This not only improves the oral proficiency of beginners but also enhances their written expression skills. Additionally, when writing the text, the book does not overly adhere to the difficulty order of grammar, striving to make the content natural and vivid to help learners acquire authentic Korean. The vocabulary section includes new words from the text, as well as words from grammar and exercises, with part of speech indicated for each word. The definitions are limited to the meanings that appear in the lesson or are commonly used. Starting from the second volume, important words are explained in the form of vocabulary usage, with detailed explanations and abundant example sentences. The grammar and idioms section strictly follows the current Korean grammar standards, so there are significant differences in the grammar system and the use of grammar terms compared to previous textbooks. The explanations of grammar and idioms are accurate and detailed, and are as much as possible compared with Chinese, which is beneficial for beginners to correctly understand the meaning of grammar. Moreover, the book also includes various exercises with supplementary and inspirational content, which can be completed during class time or chosen as homework. The book also arranges a variety of appendices at the end, including translated texts, grammar index, and vocabulary index, for easy reference and lookup.
