Introduction (들어가기)
Each Lesson begins with an introductory illustration, warm-up activities, and learning objectives.
Conversation (대화)
Each Lesson includes two sets of conversations in real- life settings. Each conversation provides a variety of key expressions, vocabulary, and grammar points that are necessary to communicate successfully in Korean. The accompanied practice section allows learners to practice exchanging experiences and ideas. Audio files are available to help learners practice listening, speaking, and pronunciation.
Grammar Points (문법)
Each Lesson provides four to six grammar points divided into two sections. Each grammar points includes concise explanations followed by one or two sets of practice questions. Answer keys are provided at the end of the book.
Listening and Speaking (듣기 말하기)

The subsequent speaking section offers learners an opportunity to apply the expressions and grammar points learned in the lesson in a variety of communicative settings.
Reading and Writing (읽기 쓰기)
Each Lesson contains two sets of reading and writing sections. Each section has a reading passage through which learners develop skills to comprehend the passage and discover how the new vocabulary, expression and grammar points previously learned are used in the context. Each reading text is accompanied by comprehension questions. The section finishes with a writing task which helps learners develop written communication skills.
Korean Culture (한국문화)
At the end of each lesson, students are provided with the opportunity to learn about Korean culture and to make a comparison to their own culture. Topics are relevant to each lesson so that learners can expand their cultural knowledge in relation to what they learn in the lesson.
Just for Fun (쉼터)
Some lessons wind up with a fun activity related to Korean language or culture which helps learners develop sociolinguistic competence in the Korean language.
