About This Book

An integrated Korean coursebooks reflecting the latest in Korean culture!
“Hi! Korean” is a series of integrated Korean coursebooks created for foreign learners who have started studying Korean because they like Korean culture. The contents of these textbooks include the latest trends in Korean culture, and various activities are presented so that learners can master the 4 areas of language; speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

The composition of the series is consistent from the beginner level to advanced, with speaking, listening, reading, and writing presented organically, and listening and reading presented separately by unit, organized to increase concentration of learning in each area. In particular, in the “Step Up!” section, which moves away from activities centered on simply answering questions, learners can develop their communication skills by expanding on what they learned through speaking and writing activities.

The “Hi! Korean” series is comprised of 12 Student’s Books (4 beginner, 4 intermediate, and 4 advanced) and an additional “Grammar and Vocabulary Study Book,” as well as 8 Workbooks (4 beginner, 4 intermediate), which are sold separately.

"Hi! Korean 5A" is designed to offer in-depth, theme-based learning across various domains, focusing on contemporary Korean society and culture. It also addresses humanities and social science topics that are especially useful for advanced learners who intend to major in Korean language or Korean studies.
The book includes a wide range of listening and reading materials across genres such as presentations, debates, interviews, news articles, and expository writing, all tailored for advanced-level learners. These texts serve as a foundation for developing practical speaking and writing skills.
In addition, the final subunit of each chapter, which previously helped bridge the gap to intermediate-level learning, now features TOPIK-style questions based on the unit's theme. This allows learners preparing for the TOPIK exam to apply what they’ve learned in a practical, test-relevant context.
