free korean lessons from korea university (cyber university of korea)
DESCRIPTION
I recently stumbled upon one of the BEST online educational programs for Korean I've ever seen - and it's entirely FREE! - And it's produced by a top team of scholars from a subsidiary university of Korea University (the Cyber University of Korea). This PPT is a quick run-through of ALL the documentation available on the CUK Korean website. I personally find it much nicer and easier to consume a LOT of information in a quick and easy manner using a Slideshow. So, I spent some time boiling this down to its main points to share with the Korean language learning community at large! Hope you enjoy the PPT, and hope you enjoy the new FREE class at CUK too!~ 화이팅!~TRANSCRIPT
WHYis this awesome?
Choong Soon Kim, Ph.D.President, The Cyber University of Korea
“I have developed a special interest in Korea’s multicultural families, not only because I studied as a minority nonnative scholar in the United States for 36 years, but also because my own family is multicultural, too.”
