Error analysis is a theory to collect and analyze errors of the learner. An efficient way to teach learner can be designed based on the findings of the analysis. This paper collects writing data of beginner level learners of India who are learning Korean language as a foreign language and then classifies errors into different types. In this paper, I have focused on the written material of the beginners level learners of Korean language in India and found out that most of the errors done by these learners are preposition errors. Other errors which are frequently done by these learners are related to noun, verb, adjective, final ending, connecting endings. Result of the analysis shows that errors related to preposition were 32.37%, errors related to Noun were 15.23%, errors related to verb were 8.84% and errors related to sentence ending figured 8.94% of the total errors examined.
