Korean from a Menu
Read the board, order the meal, pay at the counter — in two weeks
You already say kimchi, bulgogi and bibimbap. This course puts the letters under the sounds you carry around already, so you are never memorising — only recognising. Week one teaches the alphabet through the six sections of a Korean menu. Week two takes you from calling a server to paying at the counter, including the one lesson most phrasebooks skip: saying what you cannot eat.
