![]() Both start off by teaching the sounds and letters of Hangul, and continue on to basic grammar and vocabulary. Look for Billy's beginner course playlist and Professor Yoon's playlist for Integrated Korean Beginner 1. Yoon's Korean Language Class" (native Korean professor at the University of Iowa, teaches the entire Integrated Korean and Sejong Institute textbook series on YouTube, but you don't really need the books to follow along).
