Welcome to the "Learn Korean from Scratch" course from TOPIK GUIDE.
This course curriculum has been systematically designed to help you learn Korean language in the most effective and efficient way possible.
This course is very different from the typical Korean lessons on YouTube and on many blogs.
We will not try to make you memorize 100 Korean phrases about different situations and make you assume that you have learned the language.
Memorizing sentences and words is not learning a language.
Learning a language means having the skills to recall the words and grammar from your memory and frame meaningful expressions to communicate as required in different situation.
And, that's what we want to teach you in this course.
We will start from the very basics - the Korean script, learn how to connect characters to make words.
Then we will learn how to make simple sentences and slowly we will move up to holding conversations.
The instructor of this course is a foreigner who himself learned Korean from scratch and is a Korean linguist today.
He has 3 university degrees in Korean language and linguistics including a Masters from Seoul National University with 'Teaching Korean as a Foreign Language' as his major.
He has highest TOPIK level 6 and has helped hundreds of Korean language learners learn Korean, pass TOPIK test and achieve their dreams to study or work in Korea.
During this course, the TOPIK GUIDE Team, along with the instructor, will always be there to help you if you feel stuck at any point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:- I have tried to learn Korean multiple time through different sources but couldn't go beyond alphabet. How is this course different from other courses?
A:- We know that language learning is difficult. If anyone is promising you that he will make you learn the language without any serious studying and just by doing some fun activities or memorizing phrases, he is lying. Many Korean language instructors have very good knowledge of Korean language but they don't know how to teach things in a systematic way and order. It's either because they themselves didn't learn the language a systematic way or because they don't know to teach a foreign language effectively. And that's the reason most of the learners are not able to go beyond the first few lessons. Most just give up at the alphabet because they the teacher is not able to explain the pronunciation changes properly and they feel overwhelmed.
