Jia and Coco's Korean Journey 2. Animal

지아와 코코의 한국어 여행 5. 우리 집

Author: 이명숙

Amid the K-pop and Hallyu (Korean Wave) craze, more people than ever want to learn Korean. However, books perfectly suited for absolute beginners—those with no prior knowledge of pronunciation or the writing system—remain rare. This is because most textbooks assume the learner already has some familiarity with Hangeul. The *Jia and Coco’s Korean Journey* series was created specifically for this starting point. Author Lee Myeong-sook, a former elementary school teacher with hands-on experience teaching Hangeul in the classroom, has carefully selected vocabulary words to facilitate natural learning. This is Volume 5. The destination for this journey is "My Home." Join Jia and her puppy, Coco, as they explore various areas of the house—such as the entryway, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom—while naturally picking up 13 vocabulary words and short sentences. The use of a repetitive three-sentence structure allows even novice learners to study Korean easily and enjoyably. The series is designed to start with familiar, everyday words and progress step-by-step through short, simple sentences.
