As a Korean mom raising a child in the U.S., I wanted a simple way to teach everyday Korean vocabulary without overwhelming beginners.
I also previously taught at a Korean school in the United States, so I’ve seen firsthand the challenges Korean-American children face when learning
Korean. I understand the kind of vocabulary and learning materials that help beginners build confidence and stay engaged.
That’s why I created Teach Your Kid Korean: First Words at Home.
If your child attends Korean school, you may have noticed something surprising:
They can say a few Korean words.
They understand some Korean at home.
But when it’s time to read a Korean book, they suddenly freeze.
Many Korean-American children grow up hearing Korean but have very little opportunity to practice reading it. Unlike children in Korea, who are
surrounded by English at school, with friends, and in most of their daily lives.
That’s why learning to read Korean often feels much harder than parents expect.
The Problem With Many Korean Books
Many beginner Korean books are designed for children living in Korea.
They often assume that a child already understands a large amount of Korean vocabulary.
For Korean-American children, this can be frustrating.
The words feel unfamiliar.
The sentences feel overwhelming.
And many children quickly lose confidence.
Start With Words They Already Know
The easiest Korean words to learn are the words children see every day.
What You’ll Learn
- 👨👩👧 Family members
- 🍳 Kitchen vocabulary
- 🛏️ Bedroom essentials
- 🛁 Bathroom items
- 🍎 Favorite foods
- 🏠 Common household objects
When children can connect a Korean word to something they see in their daily lives, learning becomes much easier and more enjoyable.
