Korean is written in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. It consists of 24 letters: 14 consonants and 10 vowels
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

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.
