This free lesson is all about time words in Korean. By listening to the audio, and practicing the Korean words and phrases aloud, you’ll quickly learn how to ask for the time and tell others what time it is.
By the end of this lesson you’ll be able to set up a meeting, appointment, or date in Korean!
