Since changing gears in the "Grading Korean" series, we've reviewed 3 Korean learners already who are doing excellent. And today's 4th Korean speaker is Geona, who also did a great job.

In this episode I talk first about what she does well, and then focus on what she can improve on - intonation. Intonation is something most learners of all levels struggle with (I struggled with this a lot too), and I give some tips for how to improve it that are effective.
