Publisher's Review
iTunes' first Korean language lesson content
iTunes, operated by Apple, is a site used around the world to share content by uploading unique podcasts.
The first people to start taking Korean classes on iTunes were not English experts or large corporations, but two girls born in 1990 attending Cheongshim International High School.
In December 2006, two 17-year-old girls were browsing iTunes when they were shocked.
Every month, iTunes' Top 100 Podcasts list features countless podcasts teaching all kinds of languages, but one that's missing is one that teaches Korean.
It was the moment I realized that the status of the Korean language on iTunes, which is used by people all over the world, is incredibly poor.
The two girls, who were wondering what to do for extracurricular activities, decided to create a podcast to teach Korean. They named it Kimchi Girls, which had a strong Korean flavor, and started uploading podcasts titled Kimchigirls KOREAN Lesson.
Thanks to the two girls' hard work and passion, their Korean language class finally made it into the iTunes Top 30 in March 2007, and many companies that saw this began competing to cover Korean.
But no podcast has come close to Kimchigirls KOREAN Lesson, which has now grown to over 100,000 regular listeners worldwide.
And these 100,000 listeners desperately wanted a study guide to go along with the podcast, and now it's finally here.
Top 30 content selected by iTunes
Kimchigirls KOREAN Lesson is different from other Korean language classes in that it adopts a natural method of learning Korean through Kimchigirls' conversations.
However, this short conversation contains essential information for learning Korean, such as how to use honorifics and traditional Korean culture.
Moreover, this class is full of fun and interesting content that will instantly blow away any prejudice that Korean is difficult to learn.
Kimchi Girls' conversations are diverse and lively.
Just hearing about a guy proposing to his girlfriend, playing with a snake at a pet store, or a frying pan catching fire while cooking for his mom will make you laugh out loud.
Of course, there is not only such chatty content.
It even contains information that will help you avoid any inconvenience when you come to Korea.
It conveys unique information such as how to order food over the phone, how to use karaoke, and how to bargain at the market.
If you listen to content that goes back and forth between Korean and English like this, you will naturally become accustomed to Korean.
Although this podcast was initially intended for foreigners, it is gradually becoming an effective podcast for Koreans to learn English as well.
We are receiving feedback that the class content, which crosses between English and Korean, makes studying English less boring and is very effective.
The Kimchi Girls are currently connecting with listeners through www.thekimchigirls.com and Facebook, and are steadily establishing themselves as the best content for Korean language classes. It is worth keeping an eye on their progress.
Kimchi Girls are 18-year-old girls from Cheongshim International High School.
If iTunes has the popular American podcast 'Grammar Girls', Korea has 'Kimchi Girls'.
Although they are young, they are promoting Korea to the world in their own way.
To upload a podcast called Kimchigirls KOREAN Lesson to iTunes, I had to come up with a story, create a script, and record it with a microphone connected to my computer.
It's easy to explain the process in words, but writing a script from scratch and incorporating Korean culture, sensibility, and language into it would be difficult even for the most seasoned experts.
However, Kimchi Girls has broadcast all 26 chapters of the beginner course in this way, and is currently broadcasting the intermediate course.
It must have been a difficult time without passion and effort, but with the support of people around the world, I am working hard on the script today as well.
Kimchi Girls are currently in their third year at Cheongshim International High School and are preparing hard to go to college in the United States.
However, I think that the passion of the girls who worked hard to make Kimchigirls KOREAN Lesson into a textbook was the driving force behind Kimchigirls' success.
