여러분, 안녕하세요. 토미입니다.
You guys have been waiting for this class!
Finally, I am going to start the intermediate Korean class!
You do not think you could take a break before intermediate classes, right?
As you just became a master of the beginner class?
What a waste because actually, what’s more fun in Korean learning is when you learn these intermediate classes.
In the beginner class, you learned some basic words and grammar, and maybe you got used to Korean to some extent, didn’t you?
But you can express many more things in Korean at this intermediate level.
You will be surprised at your progress. For example, “Wow, I can already say this kind of thing in Korean now!?”
When you finish the beginner classes, it will become more exciting for you to travel to Korea.
But when you finish the intermediate classes, it will be possible for you to live in Korea.
It’s gonna be easy to understand K-dramas and lyrics of K-pop, and you can understand what TV stars or comedians are saying without subtitles.
That’s a great thing, isn’t it?
Also, absorbing what you learn will be much faster because you have gotten more used to Korean than in the beginner class.
Therefore, the golden time of Korean learning is when you learn at this intermediate level.
So, from now on, let’s have fun climbing this mountain of intermediate Korean together!
The view you could see after you get to the top…that’s gonna be unforgettable!
And let’s become the master of intermediate Korean!
So, for today, as an orientation, I will briefly introduce what we will learn in this intermediate class.
After finishing the intermediate classes, please imagine what kind of person you will be.
그럼 시작할게요.
What you learn in the intermediate class
The goal we aim for in the intermediate class is that you could pass the TOPIK level 4.
This is the minimum level of Korean language ability to live, study, or work in Korea.
To achieve that, you need to learn about 2600 new words and 150 new grammar rules in addition to what you have already learned in the beginner class.
It is over 1.5 times more than those in the beginner class.
So, there will be about 70 classes at the intermediate level.
You guys might think, “What?! That’s too many!” but relax.
Don’t worry. You guys have already finished the beginner class and are used to learning Korean, so now you can learn faster than when you were just an absolute beginner.
Also, I have made listening videos of 2600 words and 150 grammars and uploaded them on Youtube.
In addition, the word list and grammar list are also available in PDF format on my website.
Therefore, you should look through the PDF or the video in advance and grab the whole image of what you will learn.
Besides, I will mainly explain grammar in my intermediate class, so I don’t explain the dialogues or word explanations we had in the beginner class.
About new words, it’s the same as the beginner class.
You memorize 40 words for every lesson.
And you will have memorized 2600 words when you finish the intermediate lessons.
Also, instead of dialogue, there are many example sentences using essential grammar, and there will be many opportunities to output what you learned as usual through pronunciation practice and essay writing.
You can improve your listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills through my videos.
And there are also tests that you guys love! I am such a good teacher, aren’t I?
The tests are in a form close to the real TOPIK exam, so you can use them to prepare for exams.
Moreover, there is the final examination, just like the beginner class.
If you pass the exam, we will, of course, issue a certificate.
There is no way but to get it done!
So, it will be a long way compared to the beginner level, but I bet you will have so much fun with me, so don’t be afraid, and let’s take the first step together.
Also, after you learn 2600 words and 150 grammar, pass all the tests and the final exam, and receive a great certificate, you definitely will be a master in intermediate Korean!
Then, we will start the intermediate Korean lesson from the next class.
I am looking forward to meeting many challengers who want to learn intermediate Korean and be able to have a natural conversation with native Korean speakers.
그럼 오늘도 행복 가득, 웃음 가득한 하루 되세요！ 한국어 화이팅, 화이팅, 화이팅！！
