Frequently asked questions
Can I really learn Hangeul in 2 hours?
Yes — Hangeul is a phonetic alphabet of 24 letters with consistent sound rules. Most learners can read and write basic Hangeul after a single focused 2-hour session. Your tutor walks you through the vowel and consonant blocks systematically, and you practice with common vocabulary immediately so letters stick.
What level of Korean is tested in TOPIK I and TOPIK II?
TOPIK I covers beginner levels 1 and 2, assessing reading and listening comprehension for everyday situations. TOPIK II covers intermediate to advanced levels 3–6 and adds a writing section. Most university and employment requirements in Korea ask for TOPIK II level 4 or above.
Can I use K-dramas as learning material in my lessons?
Absolutely. Our K-drama conversation track uses dialogue clips from popular series as the core lesson material. Your tutor breaks down colloquial expressions, speech level shifts (formal vs informal), and cultural context that subtitles do not convey. It is one of the fastest ways to build listening comprehension for natural spoken Korean.
How many lessons per week do I need to see results?
For steady progress toward conversational fluency, two to three lessons per week combined with 20–30 minutes of daily self-study is a proven rhythm. For TOPIK exam prep with a fixed test date, our intensive sprint of three lessons per week over 4 weeks is most effective.
Are there tutors available for advanced learners targeting TOPIK II level 6?
Yes. Unox has tutors who have coached learners to TOPIK II 6 — the highest band. These sessions focus on nuanced writing, advanced reading speed, and the formal register used in academic and professional Korean contexts.
