One-to-one General/Business
Korean Course in Limerick
Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.
A General course in Korean will grant you 'Survival Korean' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. A Business course in Korean will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Korean.
Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business Korean course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.
Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn Korean for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific Korean exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a Korean family.

Info about Limerick
With around 100,000 residents in the city and its suburbs, Limerick is the third largest city in the Republic of Ireland, situated right in the middle of Cork and Galway. As with many of the more sizeable cities in Ireland, there has been an explosion of immigration into the country in the past decade, spurring on Limerick's tourism trade, as well as its reputation for its vibrant shopping and clubbing industries.
In recent years Limerick has become a haven for Polish and African immigrants, and their influences have become part and parcel of the city itself. The Polish community is the second largest in Ireland, second only to Dublin, making it a great place to pick up a Slavic tongue - or indeed any other language from the continent, with the almost continuous stream of European immigrants coming into the city, all the year round.

Info about Korean
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.
