*Jia and Coco’s Journey Through Korean* is a 20-volume series designed for learners of Korean as a foreign language. Beginning with the Korean alphabet, the series guides learners step by step through words, sentences, and stories. As the main characters, Jia and her dog Coco, explore a variety of themes, learners naturally acquire Korean vocabulary and sentence patterns by following their journey. The seventeenth volume, *17. Weather*, introduces twelve commonly used weather-related words, including clear, cloudy, rain, wind, fog, thunder, and lightning. Each word is presented with an icon-style illustration that conveys its meaning at a glance. This allows learners who are still developing their Korean reading skills to understand the meaning through images first. In the sentence-reading section, each word is then expanded into three sentences based on real-life situations, helping learners become familiar with natural Korean sentence patterns and expressions. The repeated and progressive learning sequence—“Read the Words → Word Cards → Read the Sentences”—provides an accessible and comfortable learning rhythm for both international learners and young children. An achievement badge on the final completion page further encourages motivation and gives learners a sense of accomplishment. Consistent character designs and icon illustrations are used throughout the series, creating a familiar and reassuring learning experience as readers progress from one volume to the next.
