Korean Facts
Korean is written in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. It consists of 24 letters: 14 consonants and 10 vowels
Modern Korean is written with spaces between words, a feature not found in most other Asian languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese)
Similar to Japanese and Vietnamese in that it was heavily influenced by the Chinese language, around 60% of Korean words are derived from Chinese

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.
Book now / EnquiryKorean 1 to 1 General
These Korean courses are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Korean - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Korean culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Korean examination.
