The Bookshop After Sunset

A world to step into.

One rainy evening in Seoul, Minji steps into a small bookshop to get out of the rain. She orders a cup of tea, meets the shop cat, and buys a secondhand book. When she opens it at home, a letter falls out. It has no address, but there’s a name at the bottom. The next morning, Minji goes back to the shop.

Follow her story in twelve short chapters written for beginner Korean learners. Read at your own pace and open English word hints as you go. When you see a form like 들어갔어요 (“went in”), the word card shows the dictionary form 들어가다 (“to go in”), so you can recognize it again when it appears in a different form.

Each chapter adds a little more Korean to what you already know. By the end, you’ll be able to read a complete story and use some of the same expressions in everyday conversations.
