• I would like to book a course at Lexis. I can't decide on a city. Seoul or Busan. You said on a webpage that changes in school are free. Can you tell me if I book now Busan in June and still decide Seoul in March, can I change it?
  “Please note that you are planning a trip for the summer, when the school is usually fully booked. If you decide to change cities in March, it is certainly possible, but it will all depend on availability. But it's best, of course, to double-check with the school, especially if you plan to book not only the course but also the accommodation.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Korean courses in South Korea

• I was wondering how beginners' courses work for people who don't necessarily understand English.
  I suspect that Korean teachers don't use French for translations or to explain their lessons, and it's the only language I master.
  “Beginner courses for people who do not understand English are generally taught in the target language. Lessons, explanations and instructions are given in Korean. This enables learners to understand the content without needing to master English.
  
  To facilitate understanding, teachers can use visual aids, gestures and real-life examples to explain concepts. This overcomes language barriers and makes the content more accessible. The teachers on these courses are likely to be trained to work with learners who are not fluent in English. They understand the difficulties and are patient and supportive in helping learners understand the concepts.”

  No school offers courses / programmes that include flights, these must be booked by the student, preferably after confirmation of course and/or accommodation availability.”

• Can the school provide me with the necessary documentation to apply for a student visa?
  “Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee visas because we are a private institution. Korean Embassy doesn't issue student visas for our students. For that reason, it would be better to ask directly the Korean Embassy and contact a university in order to apply for a student visa.
