Language Learning Series: Korean
|
Korean is spoken in North Korea, South Korea, and parts of China and central Asia. It is likely that
Hangul, or its early version, was already spoken two thousand years ago. The multitude of small states was
unified in the 7th century by the kingdom of Silla. The word Korea comes from the name of the Koryo
dynasty which ruled from the 10th century.
With this product, you will not just learn to speak the language, but you will also
learn the necessary skills to be on your way to fluency. The package is a set of
two multimedia software titles: Beginners and Everyday Korean.
The first of the two software titles was designed with the beginner in mind the effortless absorption of
language fundamentals, focusing on sounds, tones, phonics, the Hangul script and
basic vocabulary used in everyday conversations. It builds your
knowledge of the fundamentals through lessons that gradually increase in difficulty. Before you
know it, you will be able to speak the language.
Everyday Korean, the second part of the series, is intended to provide you with
maximum exposure to the language. It helps you to increase your
working vocabulary by presenting it in a wide range of situations. Unlike in the Beginners
title, you are encouraged to select the lessons that best suit your needs. With this software
package, learning to speak and write is as simple as pointing, clicking, and listening.
