    • I haven’t made a grammar list for intermediate level yet.. I will try to compile one very soon and will send to you..
      Thank you and All the best

      • Dear Satish, what is the current state of the “Intermediate” list? Is there no research paper about it? If you let me know for what I have to search, I’ll try to dig it up myself !!

        And instead of sending anything to Asad alone, it would be great if you could publish it here.

        • Hey Philipp.. Sorry for the late reply.. Hope you checked the recent Vocabulary and Grammar lists for Intermediate level I uploaded….

  • Dear sir,
    could you please guide me that how can I get the listening audio file. I have got listening file only but couldn’t get the audio.
    Thank you

  • Aqui não tem o básico é que eu nunca aprendi coreano estou a iniciar. As únicas experiências que tenho a ouvir e a dizer algumas expressões em coreano e ver kdramas ouvir musicas, e ver programas

  • Hey, thanks for the grammar list. Given that this was based on 16th-25th TOPIK tests, and we’re in 2025, do you happen to have an updated version of this list? Thanks in advance.
