Why "Korean History in Just 2 Hours"?
Build the foundation of Korean history essential for the CSAT, and get the flow in just 2 hours!
Strangely, children who were interested in history when they were young lose interest when they are exposed to Korean history textbooks.
Why? Because it's not fun.
Since we have never heard anyone say that textbooks are fun, children have no ability to find them interesting.
But what if textbooks were more engaging than comics? What if they were so captivating that once you pick them up, you couldn't put them down? You'd be able to master Korean history on the CSAT without a hitch, and you'd also be able to understand your own country's history without a hitch! Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? I have no intention of holding on to them for too long.
It'll be over in exactly two hours.

And that magical ability to draw you in while providing dramatic enjoyment! That's the essence of the delicious lectures of rising teacher "Mr. Gu."


Why "Korean History in Just 2 Hours"? 2
Before listening to the Korean history lecture, read this book first. Just 2 hours for beginners!
Online lectures are a key process in preparing for the CSAT.
But will just sitting there and studying be enough? You need a solid foundation to keep up with the lectures.
You need to have a certain level of understanding of the flow of Korean history to fully benefit from the lectures.
It's the same as saying you can't learn English without knowing the alphabet.

The book's structure and content are perfectly aligned with middle school history textbooks, making it ideal for both school grades and the CSAT. It's also the perfect textbook for building your resume for the Korean History Proficiency Test.
For middle school students, nothing can match Mr. Koo's lectures when it comes to personalized education.

Why "Korean History in Just 2 Hours"? 3
Mom reads first and sets the tone in front of the child, and it takes exactly 2 hours for both children and adults!
People say that the Korean history section of the CSAT is a Korean history proficiency test, but in reality, even adults don't know much about history.
Even though I memorized everything and got perfect scores in school, I've long since forgotten it all.
Moreover, it goes without saying that mothers are relatively weaker in history compared to fathers.
These days, as children become more aware of their knowledge, they gradually test their parents' skills.
This is also the reason why the desire to share what you know is expressed.
then?
There is no better guidebook for a mother to read first and raise her child's spirit than this one.
Because, regardless of age, the flow of Korean history can be clearly pictured in the mind in just two hours.
Just by reading the reviews from experts in each field of Korean history, you can clearly see the book's unique strengths! For middle school students, for mothers of middle school-aged children...
Try your hand at ‘catching the flow of Korean history’ with Teacher Koo for just 2 hours.
