That's what I was thinking. She'd have to first learn the basic American
braille symbols before learning the language.

Hi,
If it's an immersion course, perhaps the student shouldn't get any of the
materials translated to Korean. Do other students have access to translated
course materials in their own languages? If yes then she should have them,
although this would seem to go against the idea of immersion.
She may need tutoring in English braille, of course. She may also need
Korean braille for other purposes beyond this one class, so it's still
worth researching.
The only resource I have found is a series of braille symbol charts for
Japanese & Korean at:
