## What is Daebak! Korean?

[ Daebak! Korean: Learn Korean like a First Language ]

 "The key principle of learning is in how a child first learns their mother tongue."


++ Introducing a fun, new way to learn Korean like a native language! ++


Unlike some language learning programs that require users to memorize words and translate sentences into their own native languages, Daebak! Korean provides a perfect immersion environment using only Korean and various Korean Wave (Hallyu) content.

 - Repeatedly exposing user to various Hallyu contents
 - Using a combination of sound, image, words and meaning at once, over and over again

* Application of First Language Acquisition Principle *

 - Continuous and repetitive exposure for Korean acquisition training

 - Korean-only environment : Learning is conducted only in Korean and the user’s native language is not used to explain a word or sentence


* Digital Digging *


 - Recommending diverse Hallyu content by digital digging and gradually connecting the user to artists, genres, keywords, colloquial phrases, and more
 - Using a variety of speech-based content such as K-pop, dramas, movies, podcasts, entertainment shows, concerts, documentary and more to promote fast listening and speaking skills
