Can you describe yourself in Korean? Itβs useful to be able to talk about yourself when youβre getting to know new people, speaking to an official person or filling out a form. Whatever the situation, the Rocket Korean team have created this free lesson to make it easier for you.
Perhaps youβre booking into a hotel, or going for an interview. Youβll probably be asked some basic personal questions in Korean like βWhat is your name?β βWhere are you from?β or βWhat is your date of birth?β These are all useful things to be able to talk about for everyday conversations as well, so how about we start with some numbers in Koreanβ¦
