Korean Language Lab with Prof. Ryu

Welcome to Prof. Ryu's Korean Language Lab!

The Korean Language Lab is organized into five sections:
  1. Korean Dictation Lab
  2. K-pop Lab
  3. Korean Culture Q&A Lab
  4. Korean Speaking Lab
  5. Korean Make the Mistake Lab
I have prepared PDF resources for all episodes in each lab, with both a Student Version and, when available, a Teacher’s Version (including an answer key). All materials are provided for educational use.
