Korean

What’s coming

Korean is queued behind Mandarin as Bookverse’s second language. The course is being built on the same chapter-by-chapter foundation that anchors Mandarin: structured books, audio, speaking practice, and spaced-repetition review built into the same place.

Alignment

The course will map to TOPIK — the Test of Proficiency in Korean, Korea’s official standardised test:

• TOPIK I (levels 1-2) — beginner Korean. Basic Hangul, survival conversation, introducing yourself.
• TOPIK II — Intermediate (levels 3-4) — handling real-world conversations, reading short articles.
• TOPIK II — Advanced (levels 5-6) — fluent professional and academic Korean.

What you’ll work on

The same loop that anchors Mandarin in Bookverse, retuned for Korean:

• Hangul introduced gradually through reading, not as a chore upfront.
• Grammar patterns taught in context — particles, conjugations, honorifics — rather than as isolated rules to memorise.
• Listening and speaking with native audio and pronunciation feedback.
• Spaced-repetition study to keep vocabulary and grammar from slipping.

When

Korean lands after the Mandarin course is settled in beta. No specific date — the order is “do one well, then the next.” The Bookverse architecture is language-agnostic, so most of the work between now and launch is content authoring.
