What reference level will I reach with this course?

When you complete the beginner's course in Korean, you will reach level A1 + A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): The beginner's language course will teach you the skills you need to communicate on a one to one level and in family situations. The basic vocabulary will give you the skills to understand well structured sentences and be able to communicate in writing using simple sentences. More information on the CEFR: Since 2001 there are Europe-wide standards to measure the level of language courses. These standards from the Common European Framework were established by the Council of Europe to clarify the language reference level for language skills across countries. Our language courses were developed according to these European standards.

What is included in this language course?

The Korean course includes the online course, which you can use with any browser on your smartphone, tablet or computer. In addition, you get an audio trainer that you can listen to and repeat all Korean vocabulary while driving a car. The Korean Beginner's Course contains 1,300 vocabulary words, authentic texts and dialogues, a detailed grammar section, all delivered in an engaging and entertaining way. With the beginner's course you will reach level A2 of the European Reference Framework (CEFR).

How do I study with the Korean course?

In the daily trainer, you first read and listen to the vocabulary. The daily training automatically adapts to your individual learning level. Repetition is done alternately by showing and revealing the translation or by multiple choice exercises. The program also provides exercises on sentence structure. A separate verb trainer shows you how to conjugate verbs and use tenses in Korean. In addition, Korean grammar is presented step by step. The grammar is integrated into the daily trainer. Exercises are also presented to help you memorise grammar rules quickly and easily.

How to make steady progress in Korean:

Make steady progress in Korean with 17 Minute Languages

The daily trainer picks your exercises for you, matched to your level. It brings each word back for review at the right moment.

Learn over 1,300 Korean words and reach level A1/A2

With the beginner's course you learn over 1,300 words and reach level A1/A2.

With the complete package you learn 5,000 words and work your way up from A1 to C2.

The complete package also contains many more lessons and texts than the beginner's course, so you get much deeper into Korean.

In the daily trainer you first read, listen to and learn the new words.
You then review them in a set pattern: sometimes you reveal the translation, sometimes you pick it in a multiple-choice exercise.

Over the next few days, each new word comes back just before you would forget it. A word you get wrong goes back into the loop until you know it.
That is how you memorise the translation, the pronunciation and the spelling of each word.

Words alone do not make a language. So you also get texts and dialogues to read and listen to, matched to the words you have just learnt.
With the sentence construction trainer you practise putting complete sentences together.

The course also includes a verb trainer, so you can practise the Korean verb forms until you get them right.

The course carries on exactly where you left off – you don't have to look for the right lesson.
Whether you study for three minutes, 17 minutes or an hour a day is up to you.

There are also a few extras that keep you motivated:
For every word you learn, you earn points.
The longer you study on a given day, the more points each word earns you.
Study on several days in a row and your learning streak earns you an extra bonus.

After each session you can compare your score with other learners and exchange points for bonuses – a bit like a frequent flyer programme.
On days when you study for an especially long time, there is a small surprise at the end.
Learn a little longer than yesterday and you earn extra points – and more bonuses.

Each word is illustrated and was recorded in our studio by native speakers of Korean – no computer voice.

You are not learning on your own: in our learning community you can compare notes with other learners and find a learning partner.

The course runs online. Use it on your computer, smartphone or tablet and switch devices whenever you like. You have 10 years of access.
After your daily lesson you can start the audio trainer with today's new words and the ones you got wrong.
You hear each word in English and Korean and repeat it.
That helps the words stick.

The Korean course takes you from your first words to real conversations: a first simple exchange after about 3 hours, fluent after about 50 hours.
The words you learn come back until they stick.
Step by step you build whole sentences – and you start talking in Korean.

To help you remember the words even better, we have added the superlearning music to the background of each track.

With the audio trainer you learn Korean just by listening, almost without noticing, for example:

	...when doing physical activity or riding a bike
	...while driving
	...while sitting comfortably on the sofa at home
	...on the train or bus
	...in between breaks or waiting periods

Learning varies at all times because there are so many different ways teaching myself the language."

This is the best program I have used."
(Ashley Crust)

What our clients say

(Scott Wilkinson)

For this I'm sure the clear and logical structure of the language course is crucial and also the opportunity to operate within the program in so many different ways."
(Jean-Baptiste Novak)

"I particularly like the diversity of the learning method and the great choice of topics of the lessons or the continuous sequences. The exercising sections containing the long-term memory learning method are really motivating to start learning. Now, my son (15) really enjoys learning new vocabulary and is making great progress. Personally, I was able to develop myself professionally and put into practice what I had learned."
(Marguerite Guérin)

"I've been using this language course for 4 months intensively. I think it's really convenient having the possibility to repeat the vocabulary regularly with the long-term memory learning method. I really enjoy this program for it keeps asking until the correlate word is typed in correctly. Moreover the digital speech of the respective vocabulary is also great."
(Gautam Kumars)

"The long-term memory learning method for keeping vocabulary in long-term memory is, in my opinion, particularly efficient. Thereby you are developing ambition which keeps you going. Also the pages which hide the vocab are tremendously good to get a quick overview and are very suitable to repeat in fast track. I find the displaying of the last seven wrong inputs in the long-term memory learning method very supportive."
(Frank Collins)

"I really really like the vocabulary training method. Here, I'm especially using the long-term memory learning method. I mostly prefer multiple choice and input. This method makes me build up on my vocabulary knowledge quickly. I'm able to connect proper spelling as well as the right pronunciation by the audio output. To get a quick learning success this is essential to me.
The distinct lessons are prepared well and are really easy to access. Here it's especially useful having the possibility playing the particular sequences."
(Lauren Grey)

"I was especially amazed by learning with the long-term method. The recordings of the entire vocabulary and dialogues sound very natural and realistic since they were all spoken by native speakers. Putting it in a nutshell, it's a well-made language course."
(Marcus Großkautz)

"I really do like learning using the long term memory learning method. Using the PC is much simpler than writing manually. Moreover using the PC is much more efficient since you cannot cheat yourself - The system is correcting every single mistake also including emphasis which are also registered. Storing the different levels makes repeating the vocabulary and the texts based on the flashcard principle possible and thereby more effective. Learning foreign languages has become a hobby to me - for me, personally, it is not only learning by heart but a leisure pursuit."
(Emily Snyder)

"I liked the logical structure of my language course. The dialogues are easy to follow and very comprehensible. The further possibilities which can be chosen to learn vocabulary by different styles and ways both verbally and written are very well-suited for keeping them in the long-term memory. Even after several months they are still available. My basic understanding of languages has been broadened by this course."
(Anthony Hockner)

"I find the logical and neat outline very appealing. I'm also motivated by the long term memory learning method which makes it easy for me to live up to the learning success of the day before and gets me started over quickly. I've already bought the beginner's course and my experiences with the long term memory learning method are good. You can virtually follow the continuing progress the team is working on - this is what I really like since they give me the feeling that I'm taken seriously when I hand in some suggestions for improvement and changes."
(Agatha Low)

"It's very beneficial being able to organize your individual schedule and also being able to print out the entire course. The variety of the teaching materials is also great.
When it comes to learning vocabulary by using the long term memory learning method you only decide once how long you would like to learn per day. Once you've decided on how long you want to learn a day, this will be happening automatically afterwards. So, once you get started you will pull through.
This is also very helpful when having a hard time with motivation. Being able to decide on your own how long you want to learn makes this course "feasible"."
(Henry Smalls)

What our clients say
... in regard to structure and content of the programme

"I like being drilled - and measured against A1/A2 proficiency. I also like the dialogs. I go back over them again and again.

I also like the dictation."
(Ira Lund)

For me personally, listening to texts and thereby improving my own pronunciation was particularly helpful.
