Uno dei viaggi più indimenticabili della mia vita.Grazie a questa esperienza ho capito che la Corea del Sud, specialmente Seoul, è il mio posto nel mondo! Credo che, anche se sono stata lì per poche settimane, questo corso intensivo di Coreano sia stato molto utile per migliorare le mie abilità della lingua.I professori e le professoresse che ho avuto sono state davvero eccezionali, gentili e molto disponibili, hanno saputo mescolare il gioco allo studio e per questo hanno reso le lezioni ancora più interessanti, coinvolgenti e divertenti (non li dimenticherò mai)

Avere l'opportunità di studiare in Corea del sud per 8 settimane è stata per me un'esperienza indimenticabile. Ho potuto approfondire lo studio della lingua, grazie ad insegnanti preparate e ad un corso molto ben strutturato, e scoprire i mille colori di una cultura meravigliosa. Ho potuto toccare con mano una realtà che spero, un giorno, di riuscire a integrare nella mia quotidianità. E' stata un'avventura che è andata ben oltre le mie aspettative.

« Assolutamente. Quando arrivai in Corea la mia conoscenza della lingua era limitata alle basi (quali alfabeto e scrittura), ora sono in grado di scrivere frasi articolate e sostenere un discorso esprimendo in modo abbastanza rilassato diversi concetti più o meno complessi. »

Top tips

« Seoul si presenta come una città tutta da scoprire ed in perenne movimento, dopo 8 settimane fatico a dire di essere riuscito a girarne anche solo una parte. Per godersela al meglio occorre spostarsi al suo interno. Da non perdere assolutamente: il palazzo di Gyeongbokgung e il villaggio Bukchon Hanok, il tempio buddista di Bongeunsa, il parco di Yeouido, la Namsan Tower o Torre di Seoul, il "SeMA" Seoul Museum of Art, il quartiere giovanile di Hongdae.E se si dovesse presentare l'occasione, mi sentirei di consigliare una piccola escursione nella città di Busan e/o presso l'isola di Jeju. »

Lexis, Seoul
Duration: 12 weeks

With my best friend Alysson, I arrived in South Korea in early February 2014. On the next day, we went to Lexis Korea, a language school that teaches Korean to students from so many different countries that it is hard to imagine. I met wonderful people there, whom I could refer to when I had doubts. The classes are understandable and fun, and time passes by so quickly. I was recommended this Korean language school by ESL.

The teachers are friendly and amiable, especially teacher 상우 who accompanied us throughout the course and helped us understand her culture better.
In class, we had friends from various countries, including France, Sweden, Pakistan, Japan, among others.

Dominic Kummer

Lexis, Seoul
Duration: 2 weeks

I took a language course in South Korea with ESL. I travelled to Seoul with the conviction that learning Korean would add significant value to my résumé. Making the most of my Korean classes at Lexis Seoul, I rapidly fitted into the urban lifestyle of this welcoming metropolis, even playing in the local college football team. I stayed in a residence located 5 minutes’ walk to the language school and I felt that foreigners, especially when they are interested in getting to know the local people and lifestyle, are very popular there.

Lexis, Seoul
Duration: 8 weeks

I’ve had a great time doing an intensive Korean course. Our whole class came as total beginners and we were all reading,writing and speaking in the first week. This course really helped me get more out of my trip in Korea. The staff were really helpful and assisted me a lot getting set up in Seoul, arranging my accommodation and Korean phone number. A big thank you to the friendly staff, teachers and fellow students, as well as a really effective course. I never thought I could learn Korean basics so quickly.

Host family
During your stay in Seoul, you will be welcomed into a South Korean family’s home, staying in a single bedroom and sharing the communal areas with your hosts. This is a unique opportunity to experience local life and practise Korean in daily situations. You will be immersed in their culture and have the chance to taste delicious Korean specialties. Some families live in the centre of Seoul, while others live in nearby districts close to the centre. The public transport network is excellent but it may take you up to an hour to reach the school.

You will have your own bathroom and share the communal kitchen, laundry room and outdoor dining area with the other international students. The building is entirely secure.

Residence (from 18 years)
Your convenience is guaranteed at this residence located right next to the language school! In your modern, en suite room, you’ll find a kitchenette with a fridge, microwave and kettle, a desk and chair, a TV, balcony, free Wi-Fi and even a washing machine.

Your free time in Seoul is your chance to practise what you learn in class, while discovering a bustling metropolis. The school organises evenings such as K-pop concerts and legendary karaoke nights: an authentic slice of Korean culture. During the week, visits to museums, historical monuments and traditional areas of the city are offered, including the must-see Palace of Gyeongbokgung. The school will also take you shopping to Myeong-dong, a city within the city, with shops as far as the eye can see. Sign up for the Korean food day and pamper your taste buds with an impressive range of flavours. The world’s largest indoor amusement park, Lotte World, is found here; or if you prefer restful Buddhist temples, you will find hundreds of them – true havens of peace, contrasting with the hustle and bustle of the city.
