What our learners are saying

There is no better time to start learning Korean, the language is having a moment on the global stage right now. K-Pop groups like BTS and Blackpink have taken over the music charts. Squid Game was one of the most talked about shows on Netflix. And Parasite was the first non-English film to win best picture at the 92nd Academy Awards.

Korean cuisine has become increasing popular as a result. More people now know the difference between bulgogi and ddukbokki, and knowing the language will help give you a better appreciation for this exciting culture.

Learning Korean can even help your career. Because Korea is such a major economy, being able to speak the language can give you a leg up in the business world!
