DurationFocused on practical language skills and cultural context, the King Sejong Institute Washington, D.C. (KSIDC) offers a range of classes that build skills in speaking, reading, listening, and writing Korean. All classes are limited in size and led by native Korean-speaking instructors with teaching experience at U.S. universities or professional institutions.
Classes primarily teach language skills, while also introducing students to the traditional, modern, and social culture of Korea. The KSIDC is a DC-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which operates Korean language classes and educational programs in partnership with the Korean Cultural Center.
Registration for all KSIDC classes is open to the public, and all those who wish to improve their Korean are welcome! For more details, see our nondiscrimination policy below.

With the goal of expanding cultural exchange between Korea and the United States, our center offers a variety of Korean cultural experiences such as exhibitions, performances, traditional culture explorations, films, K-Pop, literature, Korean language learning, education and outreach programs, and more.
In 2023 in particular, we will present an even richer array of cultural programs as we mark the 70th anniversary of the Korea-U.S. Alliance. Please explore the Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. both online and in-person to experience the cultural activities we have to offer.
The Republic of Korea is a country of what we call jeong. This important cultural concept is difficult to translate fully, but can be interpreted in part as "deep attachment" or "true friendship."
I would like to share our jeong with all those who love culture. In this spirit, the Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. will take the lead in strengthening the strong friendship between Korea and the United States through the medium of culture.
The Korean program offers you great opportunity to acquire skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Language instruction is proficiency-oriented and imparts cultural experiences and knowledge.
All courses are designed to develop or improve the four language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. In addition, the program provides students with Korean cultural components by viewing authentic Korean audio-visual materials, creating and presenting their own skits.
This course is designed to develop basic skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing in Korean. Introductory Korean B is the equivalent to the second half of First Year Korean I.
The basic approach of our program is to emphasize the use of practical spoken Korean. For this reason, from the first day, speaking and listening are practiced at natural speeds. Artificially slowing the speed actually makes understanding more difficult in the long run.
Historically Korean has not been studied by many native English speakers but this is changing, largely due to South Korea's growing role in the world economy and global popular culture.
