[eBook] Common Mistakes Korean Learners Make

Introduction

Avoid these common mistakes and have more confidence!
Making mistakes is a natural part of learning a new language, but knowing which mistakes are commonly made by other learners and how to fix them can save you a lot of time and trouble. This ebook, which we made in collaboration with Billy from the famous Youtube channel, GO! Billy Korean, will help you learn about the 100 most common mistakes you can avoid when speaking Korean. All Korean learners can benefit from this ebook as it deals with mistakes made by Korean learners regardless of their level.
Billy’s channel broadly covers topics about Korea from the culture, food, tourist destinations to even Korean dialects. Working on this book with Billy, who is also a Korean learner himself, we were able to better pinpoint what Korean learners struggle with when using Korean.
