Beginners Korean 1: This ten-session workshop will introduce students to the basics of the Korean language, including Hangul, the native Korean writing system. Lessons in writing, reading, and grammar will end with an exam to determine the student's ability to comprehend the material taught to them, as well as move onto the next class level.

Korean is the official language of both North and South Korea. The language is also one of the two official languages (the other is Standard Mandarin) in neighboring Yanbian, China. Worldwide, there are around 80 million Korean speakers, including large groups in the former Soviet Union, China, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Japan, and more recently, South Africa and the Philippines.

The genealogical classification of Korean is debated. Many linguists place it in the Altaic language family; some others consider it to be a language isolate. Korean is agglutinative in its morphology and SOV in its syntax. Like Japanese and Vietnamese, Korean has borrowed much vocabulary from Chinese or created vocabulary on Chinese models.
