#1: Welcome to TOPIK & Beyond: Your Korean Language Journey Starts Here!

안녕하세요, I'm Eliza, and welcome to our podcast dedicated to helping you master the Korean language. Whether you're preparing for the TOPIK exam or just want to improve your everyday Korean, you're in the right place.

I started this podcast because I know firsthand how challenging yet rewarding learning a language can be. And Korean is not an easy language to learn. I had to learn English of course, and Chinese and french. My own journey with the language has been filled with ups and downs, and I want to share what I've learned to make your path a bit smoother.

In each episode, we'll dive into topics that will help you with TOPIK prep, focusing on key grammar points, vocabulary, and test strategies. But we won't stop there. We'll also explore practical Korean that you can use in real-life situations, like ordering food, making friends, or navigating the city.

Our goal is to make learning Korean as practical and engaging as possible. We want you to feel confident using Korean in everyday life, not just in a test setting.

I invite you to engage with us, share your thoughts, and subscribe for future episodes. Let's embark on this language journey together. Happy learning!
