About This Book

Learn Korean and enjoy Korean poetry at the same time with the poems of Yoon Dong-ju!

▪ Read poems by Yoon Dong-ju at graded levels and learn both Korean poetry and the Korean language step by step!
Poems are selected and presented step by step from level A1 (level 1) to B2 (level 4), allowing Korean language learners to challenge themselves to read poetry in Korean according to their own level. The main text, key vocabulary, additional explanations, and instructions are all translated into English to help learners understand the difficult structures or vocabulary of the poems.

▪ Understand the poems emotionally and structurally with background knowledge and explanations of literary devices!
Additional explanations are provided on the historical context at the time the poems were written, aspects of Yoon Dong-ju’s life, as well as grammar points and literary devices related to the poems, thereby broadening the scope of Korean language learning and helping learners understand Yoon Dong-ju’s poetry from multiple perspectives.

▪ Practice Korean pronunciation and the rhythm of poetry by listening to audio recordings!
All poems are accompanied by audio accessible via QR codes, enabling learners to practice Korean pronunciation and rhythm by reading along. In addition, with the handwriting notebook provided as a supplementary book, learners can copy the poems to practice Korean writing and review how the grammar and vocabulary they have learned are applied in the poems.
