In this workshop you will speak Korean to greet someone, give your name, say your nationality, and say that you are a student. You will also listen to short replies and choose the correct response. Each native example is provided as a playable recording, and you will read or repeat the full recorded line. You can practice alone by playing both roles, but there is no automatic assessment, so use the answer keys to check yourself.
Greetings and Names
Start with a greeting and your name. The recorded line «안녕하세요. 제 이름은 민수예요.» means "Hello. My name is Minsu." The greeting comes first, then the name. Another recorded line, «안녕하세요. 제 이름은 지민이에요.», means "Hello. My name is Jimin." Notice that the pattern is the same: greet, then give the name. When someone greets you and gives their name, you can reply with your own greeting and name. The recorded line «안녕하세요. 저는 수진이에요. 만나서 반가워요.» means "Hello. I am Sujin. Nice to meet you." It adds a friendly closing after the name. The recorded line «만나서 반가워요.» means "Nice to meet you." Use it after you hear someone's name or after you give yours. Practice saying each full line aloud, then swap the name only if you have a recorded name to use. Do not invent new names; use the names that appear in the recordings.
Nationality and Student Status
After names, you can say where you are from and what you do. The recorded line «저는 미국 사람이에요.» means "I am American." The recorded line «저는 학생이에요.» means "I am a student." You can combine these ideas. The recorded line «저는 캐나다 사람이에요. 저는 학생이에요.» means "I am Canadian. I am a student." It gives nationality first, then student status. When you hear someone say they are a student, you can respond that you are a student too. The recorded line «아, 그래요? 저도 학생이에요.» means "Oh, really? I am a student too." The first part shows interest, and the second part shares the same status. Keep the subject and activity the same when you answer: if the other person says they are a student, your reply about being a student too matches that activity. Practice the full lines aloud and listen for the order: nationality, then student status.
Putting the Exchange Together
A short introduction exchange can move from greeting to name, then to nationality and student status, and end with a friendly closing. In one recorded exchange, speaker A says «안녕하세요. 제 이름은 지민이에요.», which means "Hello. My name is Jimin." Speaker B replies with «안녕하세요. 저는 수진이에요. 만나서 반가워요.», which means "Hello. I am Sujin. Nice to meet you." Then speaker A says «저는 캐나다 사람이에요. 저는 학생이에요.», which means "I am Canadian. I am a student." Speaker B answers with «아, 그래요? 저도 학생이에요.», which means "Oh, really? I am a student too." The order is statement or greeting first, then reply, then follow-up, then answer. When you practice both roles, keep that order the same even if you swap who reads which part. Do not begin with a reply before its request. Use the full recorded lines so your speaking matches the native examples.
Listen once, then say the phrase yourself. Slow playback keeps the original pitch.

Guided Greeting and Introduction
You will play both roles in a short introduction. Use only the recorded lines. Read the first line aloud, then the reply, then the follow-up, then the answer.
Your task: Role A: say «안녕하세요. 제 이름은 지민이에요.». Role B: reply with «안녕하세요. 저는 수진이에요. 만나서 반가워요.». Role A: continue with «저는 캐나다 사람이에요. 저는 학생이에요.». Role B: answer with «아, 그래요? 저도 학생이에요.». After you finish, swap roles: Role B says «안녕하세요. 제 이름은 지민이에요.» and Role A replies with «안녕하세요. 저는 수진이에요. 만나서 반가워요.», then Role B says «저는 캐나다 사람이에요. 저는 학생이에요.» and Role A answers with «아, 그래요? 저도 학생이에요.». Keep the same order of lines.
Listen and Choose the Matching Reply
You will hear or read a line and choose the best reply from the recorded options. The goal is to match the meaning, not to create a new sentence.
Your task: Situation 1: Someone says «안녕하세요. 제 이름은 지민이에요.», which means "Hello. My name is Jimin." Choose the best reply: A. «안녕하세요. 저는 수진이에요. 만나서 반가워요.» or B. «저는 학생이에요.». Situation 2: Someone says «저는 캐나다 사람이에요. 저는 학생이에요.», which means "I am Canadian. I am a student." Choose the best reply: A. «아, 그래요? 저도 학생이에요.» or B. «안녕하세요. 제 이름은 민수예요.». Situation 3: Someone says «만나서 반가워요.», which means "Nice to meet you." Choose the best reply: A. «저는 미국 사람이에요.» or B. «만나서 반가워요.».
Recall the Exchange with Correct Roles
You will recall the recorded exchange from memory. One speaker starts with a greeting and name, the other replies, then the first speaker gives nationality and student status, and the other answers.
Your task: Without looking at the lines, say the four parts in order. Part 1: greet and give the name Jimin. Part 2: greet, give the name Sujin, and say nice to meet you. Part 3: say you are Canadian and a student. Part 4: show interest and say you are a student too. Then swap roles and say the same four parts in the same order, with the other person starting.
Common questions
Can I practice alone if I am playing both roles?
Yes. You can read both parts aloud and use the recordings to check your pronunciation and order. There is no automatic assessment, so use the answer keys and success criteria to check yourself. Keep the order of statement, reply, follow-up, and answer the same even when you swap roles.
What should I do if I forget a line during the recall task?
Say the full recorded line aloud again from the reference, then repeat the recall without looking. Focus on the function of each part: greeting and name, friendly reply, nationality and student status, then interest and shared student status. Do not invent new names or places; use only the recorded lines.
