One-to-one General/Business
Korean Course in Edinburgh
If you want to be taught Korean for academic reasons, business needs or gain a working knowledge of the language for general purposes, our tailormade lessons are guaranteed to be the ideal solution.
General Korean courses will provide you with enough grammar and vocabulary to allow you to converse with native speakers, and form a strong basis for further learning. A Business course will focus on business protocol in Korean, and later on reading and writing will become more important.
The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.
Our Business courses cater to a range of requirements. Many of our clients work for foreign governments and educational institutions, corporations with branches abroad, as well as those who buy and sell around the world. General courses are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of Korean for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a Korean national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

City information
Edinburgh is something of a city of extremes. While the population is relatively old for the national average, the constant influx of the transient student population (around 100,000 out of a city of just under half a million people) makes up for the relative lack of resident youth. The city has a plethora of history, yet is one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe.
For most of the year the city is like any other historic Scottish city - mostly peaceful, with friendly residents, beautiful architecture, all overshadowed by a medieval castle. But that all goes to pot during the months from July to September, as the Edinburgh Festival runs its course, attracting many thousands of people to Scotland's capital.
Language information
Korean is the official language for both North and South Korea, with around 80 million speakers worldwide. Heavily influenced by Chinese and with grammar similar to Japanese, the language varies fairly widely not only between North and South, but also from region to region. Originally written with Chinese characters, a syllabic writing system called Hangul was introduced in the 15th century, making it easier to write the Korean language.
Korean, however, like most Asian languages, is seen as a challenging prospect for western speakers; with a similar level of difficulty as languages such as Arabic and Chinese. However, it is an incredibly interesting and vivid language spoken in large communities throughout the civilised world.

With the markets opening up in China, I thought it best that our sales team learned some of the basics, to help build our client relationships. The classes were convenient and well-paced, and our trainer even agreed to a video conference when some of the guys were out of town. I think we even surprised ourselves with the conversations we managed, and some of us can even read and write a few characters already.
