I’m excited to introduce my newly published Focus Korean textbook series—available now on Amazon. This four-book series is designed specifically for beginner learners and offers a structured, level-based approach to mastering Korean.
What sets this series apart? Each unit in the Focus Korean books is paired with exclusive video lessons, allowing you to study more effectively and stay on track—even if you’re learning on your own. This makes it one of the most efficient and effective self-study tools available today—the only Korean textbook series of its kind that offers this level of integrated support.
Whether you’re studying independently or alongside my group classes, this series will guide you step by step with clarity, confidence, and a strong foundation for continued learning.
🔹 Focus Korean: Beginner Level 1
Master Hangeul and take your first step in Korean.
This book is fully dedicated to helping you learn Hangeul, the Korean writing system. You’ll be guided through reading, writing, and pronunciation with clear explanations and practice exercises. Whether you’re completely new to Korean or want to build a strong foundation, Level 1 ensures you gain confidence in recognizing and using Hangeul accurately—an essential first step before learning grammar and conversation.
🔹 Focus Korean: Beginner Level 1 Hangeul Workbook
Reinforce your Hangeul skills through focused writing practice.
This workbook is designed to accompany Beginner Level 1 and gives you the space to practice writing Hangeul step by step. While it does not include video lessons, you can pair it with the Level 1 textbook and its video lessons for a complete learning experience. The workbook is perfect for learners who want extra writing practice to build accuracy, fluency, and confidence.
🔹 Focus Korean: Beginner Level 2
Begin forming sentences and build core communication skills.
Level 2 introduces you to sentence structure, basic grammar patterns, particles, and essential vocabulary. You’ll learn how to introduce yourself, talk about your daily routine, ask questions, and make simple statements. With practical exercises and clear explanations, this book bridges the gap between learning Hangeul and holding basic conversations.
🔹 Focus Korean: Beginner Level 3A
Build confidence through real-world expression.
Level 3A helps you express opinions, make polite requests, and understand more complex sentence structures. Lessons are paired with useful vocabulary, guided readings, and speaking practice that reflect everyday situations. It’s designed to move you beyond textbook examples and into natural, confident Korean use.
🔹 Focus Korean: Beginner Level 3B
Sharpen your grammar and communicate with greater nuance.
Level 3B expands your ability to understand and use Korean in a wider range of contexts. You’ll learn to describe time and duration, give directions, use comparisons, and connect ideas naturally. The reading passages, grammar breakdowns, and practice activities help solidify your fluency and prepare you for more advanced material.
🔹 Focus Korean: Beginner Levels 1–3B (Hardcover Edition, includes Hangeul Workbook)
Your complete beginner journey in one book.
This hardcover edition combines Beginner Level 1, the Level 1 Hangeul Workbook, Level 2, Level 3A, and Level 3B into a single volume. Instead of purchasing each level separately, you can enjoy the entire beginner series in one all-inclusive textbook. Covering everything from mastering Hangeul to grammar foundations and natural communication skills, this edition is the most convenient and durable option—perfect for learners who want everything in one place.
📘 Coming Soon: The Focus Korean series will continue with Beginner Levels 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 6A, and 6B, followed by Intermediate, Advanced, and Proficient-level textbooks. Stay tuned—your learning journey is just getting started!
