Language course Korean for beginners (A1)

If you already have some basic knowledge of Korean, and you can introduce yourself and order food, and you also have some knowledge of the Korean Hangul alphabet, this Korean A1 course will help you to further develop your knowledge of the language so that you can achieve A1 level.

    General

    At the moment, registration for this course is closed. New course dates will be published as soon as possible.

    Entry level

    This course requires some basic knowledge of Korean: you should know a number of everyday expressions, and be able to talk about yourself, your family and your work. You should know the pronunciation rules, know how to form a syllable and a sentence and know the Hanja numerals.

    If you completed the preceding Korean halfway to A1 course for absolute beginners, you will automatically be able to progress to this course. If you are unsure whether this course suits your level, you can make an appointment for an intake by phone. You can also enrol in a Korean language course without an intake.

    After completing this Korean language course, you will be able to:

    • understand simple words, expressions and sentences;
    • ask and answer simple, short questions;
    • follow a simple conversation;
    • write simple, short sentences about personal matters;
    • read and write in Korean.

    The course focuses primarily on verbal communication, as well as reading, listening and writing skills. You will also learn more about Korean culture.

    To receive a Radboud in’to Languages certificate, you need to attend 80% of the classes.

    After completing this course, you will have reached language level A1
