Learn Korean with our Expert Tutors in Edinburgh
Get Started and Learn Korean
Clean, beautiful and with a multicultural population, Edinburgh regularly tops the list of European cities where people would most like to live. One of the most populous ethnic groups is that of the Koreans: the 2011 census recorded that more than 1,000 people of Korean origin live in Scotland, and 90% of them reside in Edinburgh. Many are business owners in the small Koreatown, while the city is also home to numerous companies looking to do business with Korean clients, both local and overseas. This means that studying Korean in the city will allow you to access many professional opportunities available to bilingual speakers, make new friends within this Asian community and even enjoy fantastic cultural events on another level. Contact us at Language Trainers today and we will design a tailor-made course that suits your needs and preferences.
Why Study Korean in Edinburgh
Learn Korean for Social: Those who want to make new friends with a similar interest in the Korean language and culture can join the Korean Culture Meetup. This group was created with the aim of practising speaking the language while enjoying Korean music, food and culture, in general. The group organises two different types of meetups: a language one, where you can speak to other members in Korean while having a good time; and a cultural meetup, where you can learn how to cook traditional dishes, watch and discuss Korean drama series and more! They welcome anyone who love the language, no matter if you are just starting with your language course or consider yourself an advanced speaker. Most of these meetings are held in themed bars and restaurants, such as Korean BBQ on Travis Street, where you can sample Korean Fried Chicken and Gen Hangjungsal. Order in Korean and impress your new friends and the personnel with your fluency!
Learn Korean for Culture: One of the city’s best opportunities to experience Korean culture is at the annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival, at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. This is an event that includes celebrations of Asian cultures by means of performances, talks and live music. Don’t be shy and sing along to the lively K-pop songs with the pronunciation you learn with us at Language Trainers and have a great time. The Korean Cultural Centre is another institution that tries to preserve this ancient culture in the UK through various programmes of cultural activities and events. These include visual and performing arts, music, literature, food and film, as well as education programmes that aim to deepen the knowledge of Korean heritage, history and culture. For example, once every two months, the centre organises a literary talk with authors of Korean origin in Edinburgh. Why not approach them after the event and impress them with your language skills?
Learn Korean for Work: In the last few years, South Korean investors have been snapping up real estate assets in Scotland, according to analysis from Knight Frank. Furthermore, both nations have agreed to reduced tariffs in technology and software to encourage jobs and trade in these sectors. So, it is only natural to study Korean if you work in these fields as this will open up new and exciting job opportunities at home and abroad. Also, many Scottish and international companies today are expanding into Asian markets, and so they are always looking for Korean-speaking employees who can interact with their new clients and partners. Some of these businesses are South Korea’s Mirae Asset Global Investments, Starlight and Experis. Start learning today and stand out against any monolingual applicants!
