Course Details

Korean is spoken by more than 78 million people. The number of Korean language learners has remarkably grown in the past few decades beyond the Korean peninsula; a growth due mostly to South Korea’s increasingly visible roles in the world economy, technological innovation, and global popular culture.

Korean can be considered the easiest to learn of the East Asian languages, although it does resemble Chinese and Japanese in structure, politeness rules, and borrows vocabulary. The grammar and phonetics of Korean are quite different from those of most European languages. The Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was originally invented by King Sejong in the 15th century. Hangeul is a phonetic alphabet with 24 letters and is very easy to read and write, which saves time and lessens confusion.

 

Korean Beginners (Level 1)

This is for you if you have no prior knowledge of Korean (or so little that you effectively want to start again from scratch). You will learn basic skills to enable you to make yourself understood and to find out information in everyday situations.

 

Korean Post-Beginners (Level 2)

You can already manage everyday situations using the present tense. You have reached the A1 level in the ELP self-assessment grid and/or completed the Beginners (level 1) Course.
