Learning outcomes
|
Words like jig-eop (job), chwi-eop (getting employed), sir-eop (unemployment), and bok-jik (return to work) all share the common root "eop", which refers to work, occupation, or task. By exploring how this root repeats across words, students can quickly expand their vocabulary and understand the hidden semantic connections between words. This course offers a more practical and time-efficient approach to learning vocabulary rooted in Hanja. This course is NOT focused on memorizing Hanja characters or their strokes. Instead, it focuses on Korean vocabulary written in Hangul, and helps learners build connections between words through semantic networksgroups of words that share common meaning areas such as school, work, health, or emotions. Rather than grouping words only by their characters, this course explores meaning-based relationships across vocabulary and includes vocabulary used in real-life contexts such as public transportation, campus life, shopping, and social interaction.
