A Bridge to the World: Korean Language takes you from your first Korean greeting to confident, real-world conversation across three courses. You will start with essential everyday expressions, basic grammar, and formal-versus-informal speech patterns, then progress to discussing personal experiences, travel, and social etiquette with cultural nuance.
In the final course, you will build listening comprehension through authentic news broadcasts and dialogues on language, employment, science ethics, pop culture, and international issues, and practice sharing your own opinions on these topics in discussion.
By the end of this program, you will be able to express yourself clearly across a wide range of situations, follow complex Korean media, and discuss both everyday and professional topics with confidence.
Who this is for: Language enthusiasts, learners preparing to work or study in a Korean-speaking environment, and anyone interested in progressing through a complete path from beginner to advanced Korean.
Applied Learning Project
Apply your growing language skills through progressive learning activities and assessments. You will analyze basic dialogues to build confident everyday greetings, explore conversational structures for personal and social topics, and evaluate authentic Korean news broadcasts and dialogues. These activities test your listening comprehension and grammar application, while weekly discussion prompts challenge you to formulate and share your opinions on topics ranging from daily life to employment, science, pop culture, and global issues.
