EF offers prospective students the chance to study Korean at their school located in the lively city of Seoul. This particular course option is their most popular choice, the Intensive course, and this is because it offers the highest number of study hours among all of EF’s programmes.
The classes total up to 32 per week, which are all carefully planned by their experienced and highly qualified teachers. There is a curriculum that the school follows, but you will also have the opportunity in class to take part in activities such as group discussions and debates, as well as creating research projects.
You will also have ample opportunities for practising your spoken Korean, as you will spend considerable time conversing with your peers, but you will also have time to go out with your new friends to explore the surrounding Gangnam district, where you can put your Korean to the test in real-life situations.
The Sinsa Subway station is less than a two-minute walk away from the school, so getting to and from your classes every day will be no problem.
