Since 2005, we have been providing Korean language education to foreigners using various textbooks and teaching aids.
However, there are almost no basic and important Korean language basics and pronunciation practice materials for foreigners who are new to Korean.
Korean pronunciation practice materials, like English phonics, are absolutely necessary for students.
I've often thought that if there were easy and fun pronunciation practice materials, we could greatly reduce the number of errors foreigners make in Korean pronunciation.

In particular, Korean language education in multicultural preparatory schools requires more accurate pronunciation and grammar education than everyday Korean.
Since I have to live in Korea and continue my studies, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of reading accurately, speaking clearly, and pronouncing words to understand the meaning.
So, for the past four years, I have been producing and using textbooks for basic Korean language and pronunciation practice, “Basic Korean 1” and “Basic Korean 2.”

Students who were taught using self-made textbooks showed improved learning efficiency compared to previous students, and were often seen to have more confidence in reading, speaking, listening, and writing with accurate pronunciation.
Students' reactions also say, "It's easy and fun."


This book, “Our Classroom Korean Basics and Pronunciation Practice Book,” which was published with some modifications to the previously used “Korean Basics 1” and “Korean Basics 2,” begins with the process of reading and writing consonants and vowels, and then goes on to understand pronunciation theory by directly pronouncing Korean’s nasalization, aspirated consonants, hardening, ‘ㄴ’-added pronunciation ‘ㅎ’, and vowels, and reading conjugation sentences.
It also includes pronunciation practice for high-frequency particles and endings, honorifics, irregular and regular verbs, frequently used verbs, adjectives, and short sentences.


By understanding the difference between reading and writing Korean through “Reading and Writing Pronunciation and Reading Conjugation Sentences in [ ]” to help students learn the core pronunciation grammar easily and simply, I experienced firsthand that when teaching subsequent textbooks related to meaning (Standard Korean, Korean for Foreigners at Various Universities, Korean for Marriage Immigrants), teachers and students can have much more systematic and confident classes.

Publishing a book presented many challenges, different from simply producing and using a textbook. However, I am approaching the publication with the expectation that it will become a simple and easy-to-use Korean language basics and pronunciation practice book that is essential for many Korean language teachers and students.
