What will a Omaha Korean course cover?

The Omaha Korean class will be completely online and taught by an expert Korean teacher. Students will utilize our state-of-the-art virtual learning environment to attend classes. Students will use their microphone to communicate with the teacher and their peers. Since classes are based on different levels of understanding of the language, the following are concepts that students may see in their curriculum.

The Omaha Korean course can cover standard language topics such as reading, writing, pronunciation, and speech. There also are nuances that set Korean apart from the English language. An example of this is sentence structure. In Korean, there are three different sentence structures: subject-object-verb, subject-verb, and subject-adjective. Each sentence must end with a verb or an adjective. Ending on a verb is often difficult for English speakers to comprehend initially. While learning Korean, you'll have to listen carefully to understand the tense of the sentence being said because you won't know until you hear the verb at the end. Verb conjugation is another area that may be difficult to grasp at first. Verbs are conjugated based on the speech level of who you are speaking with rather than the subject or pronoun used in the verb's sentence. Speech levels in Korean depend on who you are talking with. Some examples of speech levels are casual, informal polite, and formal polite. These are distinguished based on your relationship, and they establish respect between two people.

Students may also get the opportunity to learn about Korean history and culture in the Omaha Korean class. An expert Korean teacher can supplement language education with practical examples seen in modern-day North and South Korea. These may include navigating around Incheon Airport in Seoul, South Korea or shooting the breeze with a local fisher-person. Students also have the opportunity to schedule a virtual meeting with their instructor to work on material they are having a tough time understanding. These would be comparable to a college professor's "office hours." These one-on-one sessions are offered by request for students in an Omaha Korean course.
