Living, working or studying in South Korea requires knowledge of the language. The local dialect is difficult for Europeans to perceive, so it is best to study it here, in its homeland, immersing itself in the local culture. Almost anyone can do this today - free Korean courses are organized by many institutions with government support or on a voluntary basis.
Teacher-assisted language learning program
Even the initial course may seem very difficult to a beginner, so all classes are held with the active participation of the teacher. You will immediately have to get used to numerous features - for example, the construction of a sentence occurs not from the beginning, but from its end. Many expressions cannot be translated literally into European languages - the volume of idiomatic phrases in Korean speech is colossal.
As a rule, free Korean language training is carried out with the participation of teachers from among local residents, which results in obvious advantages:
- Obtaining structured and holistic knowledge through an integrated approach.
- Skills in writing and reading business papers.
- Understanding of spoken language at a level sufficient for free communication and understanding of television programs.
- Self-confidence and ability to carry on a conversation.
To learn the Korean language for free, you first need a desire, since upon completion of some types of courses a certificate is issued that exempts you from taking the exam when obtaining a residence permit in the country.

After arriving in Korea, you have the opportunity to choose paid and free education. At the same time, the latter is not inferior in quality.

How long does it take to learn Korean?
Many people wonder if learning the Korean language is difficult and in what time frame it is possible to understand it. All training is carried out as individually as possible. Each person has the right to determine the required level of language proficiency. Also, not all people have the skills to learn languages.
