Each lesson generally consists of 4-7 related short passages or dialogues. Each lesson includes 7-11 exercises, meaning each passage is accompanied by 1-2 exercises.

Some lessons in the beginner volumes also include several Korean folk songs, allowing students to learn Korean in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while also learning about and appreciating Korean songs. The beginner course focuses on basic and practical daily-life content. The intermediate course deepens and broadens the themes of the beginner course, adding essential knowledge that Korean learners must acquire and understand. The content is rich and closely aligned with modern life.
