Teachers who use 『Sogang Korean』 have continuously requested the publication of a writing book, so we have organized and additionally written a writing textbook that has been used as an internal textbook at Sogang University's Korean Language Education Center for a long time.

All content in the 『Sogang Korean Student's Book』 is presented in a way that allows you to intuitively understand the context by looking at the pictures.
Additionally, vocabulary and grammar learning can help you improve fluency and accuracy through conversations and activities.

Scanning the QR code will connect you to a recorded conversation file, and a variety of fun Sogang-specific conversation activities are included in the appendix.
Words and expressions are translated to give their meaning in a given context and included in a separate volume, “Grammar and Vocabulary Reference.”

The cultural section is designed to be understandable with just photos and illustrations, and QR codes link to YouTube videos related to Korean language learning and Korean culture to help you understand real-life Korean life.

We hope that 『Sogang Korean, Revised 3rd Edition』 will be a useful textbook for Korean language learners who are interested in Korean culture and are challenging themselves to study Korean, as well as for instructors who are preparing effective classes.

The composition of the 『Sogang Korean Student's Book 1A·1B』 (3rd edition) series textbooks is as follows.

ㆍ『Sogang Korean Student's Book 1A·1B』: Speaking, reading, and listening textbook.
ㆍ『Sogang Korean Workbook 1A·1B』: Used as a supplementary textbook to the Student's Book for homework and review.
