Hi! Korean 5B - Student's Book

Hi! Korean is a comprehensive Korean language coursebook series designed for learners who are interested in Korean because they love Korean culture. The series incorporates the latest trends in Korean society and presents a balanced curriculum that develops speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through engaging and practical activities. From beginner to advanced levels, the series maintains a consistent structure that organically connects all four language skills. Listening and reading are presented separately within each unit to help learners focus more effectively on each area. Additionally, the "Step Up" section in each unit moves beyond simple question-and-answer exercises, guiding students to apply what they've learned through integrated speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities. These sections also help learners build communication skills and prepare for the TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean). The Hi! Korean series consists of 12 student books across three levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each student book includes a supplementary grammar and vocabulary booklet. There are also 8 separate workbooks available for the beginner and intermediate levels, which are sold separately. Hi! Korean 5B, part of the advanced series, explores deeper topics related to modern Korean society and culture. It is especially beneficial for learners planning to major in Korean language or Korean studies. This book features academic and practical materials, such as interviews, articles, presentations, and expository texts, designed to enhance high-level communication skills. Each unit also includes a section that mirrors the structure of the TOPIK exam, offering learners an opportunity to reinforce their knowledge and prepare for the test in a practical way.
