Korean Lower Intermediate - Level 3 Course overview

The Korean Lower Intermediate Level 3 course will take your skills to the next level - helping you speak more naturally, confidently and fluently in real-life situations.

You’ll move beyond the basics and start expressing yourself with ease - chatting about hobbies and daily routines, sharing experiences, making suggestions, and navigating situations like travel, shopping and directions.

Along the way, you’ll unlock powerful new grammar to build richer, more natural sentences - expressing intentions, wishes, opinions and reasons while linking ideas smoothly and clearly.

By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident holding longer conversations, handling everyday scenarios in Korean, and engaging with the language in a more authentic and meaningful way.

Who is it for?

This course is ideal if you already have a foundation in Korean. You may have completed our Korean Elementary course or studied elsewhere for around 120 hours.
