Hello Korean Volume 1

Hello Korean Volume 1 brings you an all-in-one guide for beginners who want to learn Korean as it's actually spoken today in Seoul. This guide is a collaboration between K-Drama star Lee Joon-gi and language learning experts.

Korean is one of the fastest-growing second languages in the world, thanks to the rising popularity of Korean pop music, food, and K-dramas. This book meets the needs of people who want to learn the language quickly and accurately, particularly Korean pop culture fans.

The book is enriched with colourful drawings and features a cast of youthful friends, both Koreans and foreigners, who live in Seoul, hang out together, and have fun exploring the city. Also included are contributions from Korean film and TV star Lee Joon-gi, who provides audio recordings of the dialogues and shares stories about his favourite places and activities in Seoul.

Each chapter is thoughtfully organised to enhance your learning experience, covering:

• An opening dialogue on topics like shopping or making plans.
