How the Korean Alphabet quiz can help you

You might come across this quiz and decide to take it for fun. However, here are some reasons why the Korean alphabet quiz can actually help you learn Korean.

Confirm your Korean language level

Quizzes can be especially helpful if you're not a complete beginner as you learn Korean. For example, you already know all the letters in the Korean alphabet, so identifying them can be easy for you. However, you might not be sure which level your Korean is. After all, you wouldn't want to spend your time starting from scratch or sitting through the same learning material that you already know.

So, you can look at this Korean alphabet quiz as a placement test. You could evaluate your Korean level so you can know which level to continue learning Korean from. In doing so, you won't get bored while learning Korean, and you also won't find yourself frustrated because what you're learning is too tough.

As was mentioned above, you can take the quiz as many times as you wish. Therefore, as you take it repeatedly to reach that 100% score, you're also learning and memorizing the parts in the quiz that you did not know yet!

The quiz you take can also help you understand the content. In addition, it may show you how much more you know already than you thought you did! Generally, quizzes might not be enjoyable for most people, but indeed these Korean quizzes - and other tests - are for your benefit! They'll help you see what you already know and where you need to build more knowledge.
