The beginner classes run from 12:45 to 1:30 pm in Classroom A of the Oakland (Main) branch; the library website no longer has summaries of each class, so I have included ones from previous sessions to provide a very general overview:
In this beginner-level class, we will use the textbook published by the Korean government for foreigners who learn Korean as a secondary language.
To get the most out of the class, it is recommended that you have a basic understanding of how to read and write Korean characters, known as 'Hangul'. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to expand your vocabulary and gain a deeper understanding of how to effectively organize sentence structures.The Intermediate classes run from 12:00 to 12:45 pm:
