Grammar and Expressions

SO GREAT Korean 1 starts with the basic Korean language essential for real life, such as Korean consonants and vowels, self-introduction, is/is not, this/that, etc.

Learn vocabulary, grammar, and how to talk about objects, daily routines, transportation, travel, hobbies, and more.

The learning progress is for students at levels 0 to 1.5.

SO GREAT Korean 2 aims to help learners advance to an intermediate level of proficiency.

The learning objectives were to cover common situations that occur in real-life Korean life, such as conversation skills at various gatherings and shopping, and cooking methods.


The learning progress is for students at levels 1 to 2.5.

The SO GREAT Korean series includes as many illustrations and photos as possible to enable intuitive understanding.

Additionally, we have reconstructed situations frequently encountered in Korean life and organized the textbook in order of importance and frequency to help foreigners easily settle into life in Korea.

This book was developed for beginner learners of new-age Korean.


This book and the workbook are organized as a set and developed for beginner levels 1 and 2.


Beginner Level 1 is designed to achieve levels 0 to 1.5.
A student who has achieved perfect learning from beginning to end will be able to reach approximately level 1.5 through the beginner level 1 textbook.
When the learner's achievement level is set at 70%, he or she can reach the level 1 of the Korean language proficiency test (TOPIK, KLAT, SKA, etc.).


Beginner Level 2 is designed to achieve levels 1 to 2.5.
A student who has achieved perfect learning from beginning to end will be able to reach approximately level 2.5 through the beginner level 2 textbook.
When the learner's achievement level is set at 70%, he or she can reach level 2 of the Korean language proficiency test (TOPIK, KLAT, SKA, etc.).
In particular, from the second level of elementary school, educational content that can be used in university life was selected and applied.

These textbooks each consist of 30 lessons.
This is to reflect the fact that online-based education has become an essential form of classroom education and the diverse class formats (e.g., 8- to 10-week operation, 150- to 200-hour operation) in educational settings (e.g., language centers, Korean language schools, Korean language education centers, Korean language education institutes).
Korean language education institutions can utilize this textbook to run Korean language classes for 8 to 10 weeks, teaching and learning one unit for 3 to 4 hours per day, and then starting the next unit anew.
