Korean courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Korean - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Korean usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Korean classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Korean culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Korean.
