Korean Facts
In South Korea, the language is often called 'Hangungmal', in North Korea 'Chosonmal'
Similar to Japanese and Vietnamese in that it was heavily influenced by the Chinese language, around 60% of Korean words are derived from Chinese
Modern Korean is written with spaces between words, a feature not found in most other Asian languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese)

These Korean lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Korean to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Korean, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

This set of Korean tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Korean. Even though all novice students will cover survival Korean: enough Korean to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Korean culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Korean.

Bedford
As the county town of Bedfordshire, Bedford was a market town for the surrounding farmland during the early Middle Ages, and was also the home and prison of John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim's Progress. Nowadays the town is home to over 80,000 people, and has the largest concentration of Italian immigrants in the UK. The town centre is split in two by the river Great Ouse, and the banks are adorned with botanical gardens known as The Embankment, which plays host to the annual River Festival - the second largest regular outdoor event in the UK.
