Korean Facts
Modern Korean is written with spaces between words, a feature not found in most other Asian languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese)
The classification of the modern Korean language is not certain - it has elements of an Altaic language, Japanese, Chinese, and some languages of the Eastern Turkic group
Korean is written in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. It consists of 24 letters: 14 consonants and 10 vowels
Our Korean speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the course are provided for you.
Book now / EnquiryThese courses in Korean are meant for those that feel that learning Korean would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone Korean and e-mail Korean skills for communicating, as well as survival Korean if a short visit to the country is needed.
Book now / EnquiryThese Korean lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Korean by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Korean to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Korean culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Korean exam.

Peterborough
A cathedral city in the east of England, Peterborough has a population of around 170,000. Owing much of its modern development to its role as a railway hub during the Industrial Revolution as its location is both central and notoriously flat and low-lying. These days Peterborough is home to a large concentration of Italian immigrants, and thanks to new commonwealth immigration has had a major population boom over the last few years: it is believed that there are 55 different languages being spoken in the city. Peterborough is also home to a wide variety of foreign cuisine in its restaurants, as well as numerous yearly festivals (including an annual beerfest).
