ㆍ Practice reading step by step by reading traditional fairy tales at different levels!

Because Korean traditional fairy tales have been adapted using vocabulary and expressions at different levels from A2 (Level 2) to B2 (Level 4), readers can find and read stories that are appropriate for their level.
Especially, learners at levels 2 and 3 can challenge themselves with reading at a higher level.
All stories are translated into English, so if there are parts that are difficult to understand due to level or cultural differences, you can get the exact meaning through the translation.

ㆍ Get a glimpse into the lives of Koreans in the past through cultural illustrations!

Traditional Korean fairy tales feature many cultural and historical elements, such as goblins, millstones, a doe of rice, a nyang of coins, and a hat, which may be unfamiliar to foreign learners of Korean.
These Korean elements were presented as illustrations of scenes from the story or vocabulary, allowing foreign learners to easily see and understand the lifestyles of Koreans in the past.

ㆍ Learn vivid Korean accents with recordings from professional voice actors!

All stories are recorded in Korean, so you can listen to the stories as if you were listening to an audiobook, and check out the Korean language habits contained in the conversations. You can also become familiar with the intonation and meaning of onomatopoeia and mimetic words that do not often appear in general Korean language textbooks.
The audio can be listened to or downloaded as an MP3 file through the QR code provided for each story.
