Synopsis

ANSWER OVER 200 WRITING PROMPTS

Writing Conversational Korean: Book One is designed to help the intermediate or advanced Korean learner practice their conversational writing skills by answering writing prompts over four themed chapters: experiences, abilities, habits, and travel. Answer over two hundred writing prompts, including:

• "코를 골아요?" (Do you snore?)
• "만약 내일 문신을 새겨야 한다면 어떤 문신을 새길건 가요?" (If you had to get a tattoo tomorrow, what would it be?)
• "물건을 도둑 맞아 본 적이 있어요?" (Have you ever had something stolen?).

It is the first book in a series of four, each covering different topics (see below).

EXPAND YOUR VOCABULARY

Each page of writing prompts includes useful related vocabulary to inspire you as you write your answers. There are over five hundred vocabulary words featured in Writing Conversational Korean: Book One, including slang, short phrases, and natural expressions.

READ WHAT NATIVE KOREAN SPEAKERS HAVE WRITTEN

Each chapter ends with a section showing natural Korean writing samples submitted by native Korean speakers. Read what they wrote in response to questions like:

• "군대에 입대해 본적이 있나요?" (Have you ever done military service?)
• "미신을 믿나요?" (Are you superstitious?)
• "가장 별로였던 휴가는 언제인가요?" (What is your worst vacation memory?).

Challenge your reading comprehension through these native writing samples, and check your understanding with translations in the back of the book.

PRACTICE FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS

Use the writing prompts to prepare for conversations with native speakers. Practice with conversation topics you can actually use, like:

• “여행을 갔을 때 먹어봤던 가장 이상한 음식은 뭐예요?” (What's the most unusual food you've tried while travelling?)
• “스키를 타본 적이 있나요?” (Have you ever been skiing?)
• “부모님 몰래 집을 빠져나간 적이 있나요?” (Have you ever snuck out of your house without your parents knowing?)

After writing your own answer in a safe space - learning the relevant vocabulary and grammar you need to express your thoughts - use these writing prompts in real life and boost your conversation skills.
