Opening a presentation

Greeting, topic and order — the first thirty seconds

Open a formal presentation with a greeting, a topic and a roadmap.
Explained in English

The lecture course trained you to hear a roadmap. This course puts you on the other side of the room.

Korean presentations open in a very predictable way. That predictability is a gift: the first thirty seconds can be prepared word for word, and a confident start carries you into the content.
