supplement

Many universities around the world teach business Korean as a foreign language as a major or liberal arts course.
As a Korean language teacher and researcher, I was inspired to conceive of this book because, aside from textbooks published domestically for students learning business Korean for special purposes, there are virtually no textbooks available for local students studying business Korean at overseas universities.

This book is designed to study business Korean sentence patterns, and is designed to help students with basic Korean communication skills understand business practices and the workplace culture of Korean companies based on the Korean language.
It is natural that the structure of conversation in business Korean should vary depending on the person and the purpose.
Therefore, it is necessary to practice words and expressions that are appropriate for the purpose and to approach it more practically.
Accordingly, we have presented various sentence patterns suitable for business situations and, going one step further, have organized them so that they can be used to create various sentences and apply them in new situations.

How to use books How to Use Books How to Use Books

You can use the sentence patterns in this book when you need to use business Korean in a Korean company or when you need to use Korean as needed in a work situation.
It will be helpful to practice the useful sentence patterns presented in this book, check the sentence patterns emphasized in each unit, and practice with the vocabulary and conversations presented in the comprehensive exercises.
And since each dialogue presented in the sentence pattern practice contains important sentence pattern expressions, if you practice these sentence pattern expressions through conversation, you will be able to easily use the expressions needed in business Korean situations.
Additionally, we have provided additional information (Business Korean Tips) for each sentence structure to help you understand the workplace culture of Korean companies.
Lastly, we must not forget to self-review what we have learned through comprehensive practice.

Each chapter of the book covers:
