Based on one of the textbooks that she has in her hands I would say she is a beginner...(I have the same textbook.)

edit: its not so much a "textbook" as it is a waste of time - not useful for learning Korean

Probably just picked it up off a pile of random Korean language books as a prop for the photo.

She's going to be in for one hell of a surprise then I bet itching to go back home after a few months. It's not all rainbows and lollipops.

I've heard of Japanese and Koreans getting a similar surgery done for speaking English with greater ease.
