Beautiful Korea
Korea Tour (Tourist Attractions)
Travel is the best theme for survival Korean: asking directions, getting recommendations, and planning schedules.
Overview
Korea offers a strong mix of modern city life, traditional culture, and nature—so you can learn Korean from many contexts (transport, food, museums, hiking).
For learners, travel language is practical and reusable: the same questions work in any city.

Inbound tourism has shown strong recovery/growth in 2025, and major cities report record visitor moments.
Experience-first travel is rising: K-culture experiences, festivals, and ‘smart tourism’ services are increasingly highlighted for visitors.
