Korean Beginner 1 ‘s 7th Batch class started last July 1

Ages ranged from 19 to 37 years old but a lot of interests were common from watching Korean Drama, listening and staning to Kpop up to reading manhwa and webtoons which also served as their motivations in learning Korean Language. Few of the students wanted to try their luck in fancalls and fansign events, so conversing with their idols also serve as one of their motivations to learn Korean. Other motivation was related to ease of communication during travel and during work. Their common short term goals at the end of the 9-week program consisted of learning the basics like reading and writing Hangeul and expressing survival Korean words and phrases that will help them when they travel to Korea. On the other hand, their long term and ultimate goals were enabling them to watch k-contents like kdrama and vlives of idols without relying on English subtitles and also conversing with the Native Koreans fluently. These students knew well about the testimonials of the class’ previous students, so they expected that the class would be fun, interesting and full of student interactions and practices.
