This book was designed to help foreigners and overseas Koreans who wish to study Korean as a foreign language learn Korean on their own.
This book is intended for beginner Korean language learners who have basic knowledge of the Korean language.
Therefore, Korean and basic expressions were presented simply through the 'Preparation' section of Volume 1, and then Korean learning began from the next unit.

It consists of two volumes, and the story progresses as the main character, Jacques (France), visits Korea while forming relationships with Korean language learners of various nationalities through chatting.
Although the conversations in each class have different topics, they are not isolated but rather are structured as one story.
Therefore, after each lesson, it creates an anticipation for the next lesson's content, which stimulates learners' interest and enjoyment, preventing learners studying alone from getting bored.

Additionally, by studying the essential grammar for each subject and solving various types of practice problems, you can prepare for various tests, such as the Korean Language Proficiency Test.
