1-Day Workshop: Every Day Korean for Beginners/Novice
Korean Language & Culture
Hi KoreanLA'ers!
This may be a late notice, but I hope you will be able to join free classes this weekend.
If this announcement does not apply to you, please pass it on to your friends! They may have been secretly looking for something like this! :)
It's been a while since we offered Korean classes and workshops. Your KoreanLA staff is gearing up to resume fun and useful classes and workshops. I hope you feel as excited about it as we are!
GET READY FOR LANGUAGE EXCHANGE: the classes and workshops will help you be ready for upcoming language exchanges. While it is not mandated to take classes to attend language exchange, we strongly recommend that you do. Your language exchange will be more fun and productive when you know what you want to practice.
Let's learn and grow!

STUDY MATERIALS:
(1) Hangeul: You do not have to have mastered Hangul in order to attend this workshop. But knowing a little bit about it will help you keep up with the class. Download "Hangeul Matrix" here: http://files.meetup.com/217092/HangeulPractice.pdf. Acrobat Reader is required to view this file.
We will not spend much time to "learn" Hangeul, but we will skim through it. If we can get enough people, I will also hold Hangul Crash Class right before this class. Please see the calendar.
(2) All study materials will be provided in the classroom. If you must preview what we'll be doing in the class, here's a taste of it: Essential expressions - http://files.meetup.com/217092/Essential%20Expressions%20-%20Very%20First%20Few.pdf

"AFTER"?
It's a Korean socio-cultural tradition that after the meet-up, we usually hang out for a cup of coffee or tea - or even dinner and Norebang. Koreans call it an "After." We will not be observing that tradition this time. However, please plan on staying a little longer after the class so that we can chat and get to know each other! :)

LAST MINUTE CHANGES
Class will not be cancelled unless there's unforeseeable situation. In 15+ years of doing this, I never cancelled events, so that says something! :)
If you have Twitter account, please follow @KoreanLA. I'll tweet updates, if any.
