ONLINE KOREAN LESSONS

Our Online General Korean Courses are the best option for language enthusiasts who want to learn Korean for a wide variety of reasons. Perhaps you want to communicate with a wide variety of people, in a diverse array of circumstances; or maybe you have some specific goals in mind, but you are interested in taking your Korean knowledge beyond your immediate needs.

As an East Asian language, Korean can be a tricky language for Western speakers to master, especially towards the beginning. So, if you are completely new to the language, your initial lessons will be what we deem "Survival Korean". In these classes, your native teacher will help you get to grips with the most common words and phrases, simple grammar, basic questions and answers, pronunciation, and introduce you to the easiest elements of the Korean writing system. With this strong foundation, you will then be equipped with the necessary skills to engage with more complex aspects of the language, including having conversations with your teacher (and classmates, in the case of group courses), and listen to, watch, and read Korean media.

Your teacher will always keeps your learning goals in mind when designing your course. As your course progresses and you become more capable of higher level Korean, your tutor will incorporate even more of your objectives and interests in the class content and learning materials.

It is highly probable that you might want to focus your Korean language lessons on professional vocabulary and phrases via our Online Business Korean Courses. South Korea is not just an important commerical and industrial hub, but it serves as an entry point for many Western companies and organisations looking to enter the East Asian markets, like China and Japan.

Naturally, your lessons will place huge focus on the words, phrases, expressions, and slang most suitable to your specialist profession/industry and the areas you are likely to work. So, if you work in an office, you can expect to role-play telephone calls, presentations, and writing emails. Meanwhile, if you work in international trade and negotiations, you will practise meetings or collaborating with people in different roles.

But you won't just learn how to speak Korean in your job, but also how to behave. Workplace etiquette is something we take for granted in our native language, but imagine walking into a Western office and bowing at your boss, instead of shaking their hand. Your native teacher will educate you on the dos and don'ts of doing business in Korea.

If you have a particular reason to learn Korean other than business, then choose our Online Specific-Purpose Korean Courses. You might be a fluent speaker who is looking to practise a certain topic in great detail with a native speaker. Or maybe you have a very focused reason to learn Korean, from buying property overseas to preparing for an interview at a new job or university. Whatever your reason, we will connect with a teacher who is not only a native Korean speaker, but who has some knowledge and experience of your objective, so they can design and deliver the most suitable course possible.

We always recommend a 10-hour course as a minimum. However, if you need to learn Korean for your specific purpose urgently, then we can offer courses from 5 hours in exceptional cases.
