Jia and Coco's Korean Language Journey, Book 4 — Train Amid the K-pop and Hallyu wave, more people want to learn Korean than ever before. Yet books truly suited for absolute beginners—those who know neither pronunciation nor letters—remain rare, since most textbooks assume learners already have some grasp of Hangeul. Jia and Coco's Korean Language Journey was created for exactly that starting point. Author Lee Myeong-suk, a former elementary school teacher who taught Hangeul directly in the classroom, carefully selected words that let learners naturally absorb the sounds of consonants and vowels. Starting from familiar, everyday words, the book builds step by step toward short, simple sentences. 📚 Book Structure Word Reading — Learn sound and letter together through flashcard-style word presentation Word Cards — Images and words placed side by side to aid visual memory Sentence Reading — Read short sentences built from the words you've learned ✨ Recommended For K-pop and Hallyu fans — Take your first step into Korean, and start it the right way Korean beginners — Follow along with pictures alone Children from multicultural families — A first book for becoming familiar with Hangeul at home Korean classrooms — A practical supplementary text ready for immediate classroom use 💡 Key Features Image-centered design — Rich illustrations offer an intuitive grasp of word and sentence meaning Repetition-based structure — A three-step cycle of Word Reading → Word Cards → Sentence Reading Field-tested content — Learning sequence and expressions verified directly in elementary classrooms Fourth in the series — Book four of the 20-volume Jia and Coco's Korean Language Journey. Train is a Korean-learning ebook that follows lively little Jia and her adorable puppy Coco as they set off together on a train journey. Through the familiar, vivid theme of a train trip, the book helps learners naturally acquire twelve core words: train, station, ticket, luggage, window, seat, tunnel, bridge, mountain, river, field, and city. Built on the three-step repeated-learning structure of Word Reading → Word Cards → Sentence Reading, it lets even children learning Korean for the very first time follow along easily and enjoyably. Each word is presented alongside large, vivid illustrations to support visual-association learning, and three short sentences per word help learners naturally internalize how each word is used in context. As the fourth volume in the 20-book series published by Namu-wa-Gaji, following Book 1 (Sound Play), Book 2 (Family), and Book 3 (Animals), this installment invites learners into the exciting world of movement and scenery—travel itself.
