Free Korean language classes
Good news for foreign residents who want to learn Korean!
The Busan Global City Foundation will offer free Korean language classes to foreign residents. Classes will run for fifteen weeks from Aug. 21 to Dec. 1. Any long-term stay visa holders allowed to stay in Korea for more than 90 days can enroll.
The registration period to take a language course runs from July 24 to Aug. 6. To ensure the best learning experience, all potential students must take a level test and apply for the course appropriate to their Korean proficiency.
The language courses are divided into four beginner levels and two intermediate levels; beginner classes are twice a week, while intermediate classes happen once a week. Classes can be taken in the morning or evening and occur in three locations depending on level—Busan Global Center, Busan Global Village or the Youth Do Dream Center.
A 50,000 won cash deposit must be paid on the first day of class. The deposit will be fully refunded to students with an attendance rate over 60%. Students that successfully complete the program will be issued a certificate. Students must purchase the course textbook and prepare other learning materials themselves.
