Korean is a language spoken primarily in North and South Korea, but also spoken by Korean expatriates and their descendants around the world. It is the official language of both North and South Korea, and is known for its complex writing system, which uses Hangul (a unique alphabet) and Hanja (Chinese characters). It also features a unique grammatical structure and a rich vocabulary. Korean culture and customs are deeply ingrained in the language, making it an important component of understanding the country and its people. It is widely spoken in business, politics and international relations. It's also studied as a second language in many universities and language schools around the world.
The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is a standardized test that assesses the level of proficiency in the Korean language of non-native speakers. The test is divided into two levels, with Level 2 being the intermediate level.
The TOPIK Level 2, also known as TOPIK 2, is designed for test takers who have an intermediate understanding of the Korean language and are able to understand and use more complex words and phrases in everyday situations. The test format includes multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, which cover the following areas: vocabulary, grammar, listening, and reading comprehension.
To pass the Level 2 test, test takers must be able to understand and use more advanced vocabulary and grammar, and be able to understand more complex phrases and sentences. They should also be able to understand longer dialogues and more complex texts. This level is appropriate for students who have studied Korean for a longer amount of time and have a good command of the language.
In my opinion, this course is a great review for the beginner or lower intermediate Korean language learners and especially for those, who are preparing for TOPIK I level 2 . The instructor introduces and explains each basic grammar points in detail along sample sentences in a well-understandable way. I recommend this course as a guideline to everyone who would like to understand more the usage of these grammar patterns.
