Jia and Coco's Korean Language Journey — Book 2: Family With the K-pop and Hallyu wave sweeping the world, more people than ever want to learn Korean. But for true beginners — those who don't yet know the sounds or the letters — books made just for them are still hard to find. Most textbooks assume learners already have some grasp of Hangul. Jia and Coco's Korean Language Journey was created for exactly that starting point, by an elementary school teacher who has taught Hangul firsthand in the classroom. Book 2, Family, is set against the warm everyday scenes of Korean family culture and introduces family terms and words related to family life. Through a story in which the friendly characters Jia and Coco go on a "family trip" together with the learner, a three-step learning flow — Word Reading → Word Cards → Sentence Reading — allows repetition and expansion to happen naturally. Each family member is introduced with lively illustrations, and the book closes with the emotional expressions "사랑해요" (I love you) and "좋아요" (I like it), helping learners build an emotional understanding of Korean family culture alongside the language itself. 📚 Book Structure Word Reading — Learn sounds and letters together through word-card format Word Cards — Pictures and words placed side by side to aid visual memory Sentence Reading — Read short sentences using the words just learned ✨ Recommended For K-pop and Hallyu fans — start your Korean journey the right way, with sound first Korean beginners — even without knowing the letters, the pictures guide the way Multicultural families — a first book to grow close to Hangul together at home Korean language classrooms — ready to use as supplementary teaching material 💡 Key Features Picture-centered design — rich illustrations make word and sentence meaning intuitive Repetition-based structure — a three-step cycle of Word Reading → Word Cards → Sentence Reading Classroom-tested content — learning order and expressions verified directly in elementary classrooms Second in the series — Book 2 of the 20-volume Jia and Coco's Korean Language Journey
