Immerse yourself in Korean language and culture with a four-week summer program in Seoul. Master Hangul—the world’s youngest alphabet—while strengthening your conversation skills through interactive lessons. Beyond the classroom, connect with locals in traditional markets and temples, and experience the energy of Seoul’s iconic neighborhoods like Hongdae and Myeongdong.
The quality time you'll have with your host family will open your eyes to a new way of living—prepare traditional meals, savor Korean dishes, and enjoy communal dining. On weekends, you'll embark on exciting excursions to places like scenic Nami Island and historic Jeonju, home to Korea’s largest hanok (traditional wooden homes) village. Your experience in Seoul will not only allow you to improve your Korean but also provide you with the unique opportunity to live like a local and make lifelong chingu (friends)!
