Korean Facts
Korean is the official language of both North and South Korea, and a regional official language in the Jilin Province of China
Similar to Japanese and Vietnamese in that it was heavily influenced by the Chinese language, around 60% of Korean words are derived from Chinese
There are several differences between the language spoken in North and South Korea, but many pronunciations are the same and natives can speak to each other without too much difficulty
You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Korean teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the course at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant course materials.
Book now / EnquiryThose who would benefit the most from these Korean tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Korean to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Korean, as well as survival Korean should a visit to the country be necessary.
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.
Book now / EnquiryThose wishing to learn Korean in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Korean Courses or Small Group In-Company Korean Courses) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Korean proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Korean Courses can occur with up to 12 people.

Worthing
Worthing is a large seaside town on the south coast of England, with a population of almost 100,000. Often considered a retirement home, Worthing in fact has an active underground culture, with the area well-known for smugglers all the way back to the 18th century. The town is more than just a sleepy fishing village. It has a rich archaeological history: many Roman coins, tiles and other pottery have been discovered in several parts of the town. Worthing Pier has stood firm since 1862, which is hardly surprising given the town's crime rate, which is far lower than the national average.
