Learn Korean Through K-Dramas 3

By Lee Miok

Learn Korean through K-Dramas 3 is a Korean language textbook developed around short scenes from five of the most popular Hallyu K-drama shows, making the study of the Korean language fun and effective. This third book of the K-Drama Korean Series features K-drama shows of varying genres: Another Miss Oh, Something in the Rain, Strong Girl Bong-soon, Hospital Playlist (Season 1), and Vincenzo.

While studying the Korean language through the included drama scripts, readers will not only be able to peek at how Koreans define love and deal with separation but also gain a deeper understanding of various issues in Korean society, including those concerning equality, work ethics, and social justice.

This book is unique in that each script comes with a QR code and a Netflix timestamp that provide direct links to corresponding YouTube videos and Netflix scenes, allowing for readers to access the clips at any time and understand the language content while watching and listening to it on screen. This third book also features illustrations that capture the mood of each drama show to allow a more intuitive and immersive learning experience.
This book is also written entirely in both English and Korean to enable even beginner Korean language students to make the most out of its content. The right-side pages of the book are dedicated to the original K-drama scripts and the left-side pages provide English translations for a convenient learning experience for students of all proficiency levels. The Korean scripts come with Romanized pronunciation guides so that readers can easily acquaint themselves to accurate pronunciations.

The book is optimal for self-study, and its size (150 x 200 mm), relatively small for a textbook, makes it handy and portable.

Moreover, the book's various exercises requiring short, subjective answers as well as the proven-effective dictation practice sections make the book suitable not only for self-study but also as a workbook for use in schools and academies. In particular, this second book places further emphasis on grammar to aid students preparing for the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK).

Furthermore, the cultural commentary in the book helps readers encounter and understand Korea's food, fashion, entertainment, and cultural values in connection to the K-drama scenes.

Seoul Selection will continue to publish and distribute sequels in the series through Amazon.com, Hallyu-oriented bookstores around Europe and Asia, and schools and universities outside of Korea.

Understanding Various Expressions Used on K-Drama Shows and Learning Colloquial Korean, Acronyms, and Slang

Though the videos are each only about five minutes long, there is a lot to be learned from their content. Vocabulary and grammar are thoroughly explained with examples from the scripts, and exercise questions to help readers master the various expressions used in the scenes are included in each lesson.
K-drama shows mirror Korean language as it is used every day--colloquial expressions, popular or newly-coined terms and slang used by young people, text abbreviations, idioms, and so on--which greatly benefits those who want to learn "real-life" Korean language.
