Best Locations
More than 75 million people speak Korean in several countries all over the world, most notably China, the United States, Japan, and Russia. These are some of the best places to learn Korean.
Learn Korean in Seoul. Nearly every Korean language program is hosted in the capital city of South Korea. In this UNESCO City of Design, you will discover a progressive culture with nationalistic pride and open minds — a winning combination for travelers looking to understand a new place. Find traditional markets in urban areas, and let your senses run wild as you explore this creative city that is truly the heart of “The Land of the Morning Calm.”
Beijing. Due west of Korea lies this cultural and industrial metropolis, which is home to several educational institutions, business headquarters, popular landmarks like the Great Wall of China, and — unsurprisingly given the content of this piece — Korean language classes!
Cheonan. Studying Korean in Korea is hard to beat, and we think you might love to surround yourself with the Charyeong Mountains in this “Core City of the Nation.” As a major transportation hub, you’ll have easy access to Seoul in the north. Celebrate the Independence Movement, the coming of Buddha, and the beauty of South Korea at one of this city’s many festivals with traditional music and dances.
What Else You Need to Know
When choosing Korean language programs, make sure it’s designed to meet your needs as a student. If you’re interested in becoming fluent in Korean, it will be extremely beneficial to sign up for an intensive Korean language program that is six weeks or longer. Courses that address vocabulary, grammar, and writing will leave you better prepared than programs that simply cover listening and speaking.
Popular courses. Going to an intensive Korean language school will aid you in becoming fluent more quickly. In class, you’ll spend up to four hours speaking, reading, writing, and listening in the target language. Language schools are another great avenue for Korean mastery. Some of the programs are from a month to three months with daily language classes.
What makes your studies abroad more (or equally) as valuable as in your home country? You’ll get plenty of free time to explore your surrounding locale, giving your credit card a workout at the numerous shopping and entertainment centers in the cities — practice what you’ve picked up in your Korean courses in the real world!
Tips to get fluent fast. The best way to learn Korean is to practice with its native speakers. Many South Koreans speak English and are eager to welcome foreigners and help them learn their native language. You can find them outside of Korea, too, as many countries have large subpopulations from the peninsula.
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
Many world powers have a serious interest in the Korean language for business and security concerns. It remains one of America’s most substantial trading partners in East Asia. Additionally, because South Korea’s northern neighbor was declared a nuclear threat in 2003, many countries around the world need Korean speakers to monitor the evolving situation. As a student of Korean language programs, you will gain valuable cultural knowledge and language skills that will hook you up with specialized job opportunities at home.
Learning a new language is always going to be difficult at first, especially with Korean having a different alphabet. You might be flustered at first with language barriers, but you’ll be at an advantage because you’ll need to quickly remember critical phrases to navigate the cities. Once you’ve learned the foundation, grammar will eventually will improve along the way. Just practice, practice, practice, and you’ll soon be more involved in K-dramas than you thought possible.
Do yourself a favor by taking Korean language classes. Glittering dotted cityscapes and tranquil coastlines are the best classmates; when paired with your intrinsic motivation and dedication, you’ll be besties with John Cho in no time.

A Great Place to Learn Korean
July 30, 2026by: Sabrina Daniels - United StatesI really enjoyed my time studying at LTL Seoul. My teacher was patient, encouraging, and created a comfortable classroom environment that made learning Korean enjoyable. The staff were also very kind, welcoming, and friendly, which made the school feel like a great place to learn. One of my favorite parts was the weekly activities, especially the lunches after class. They were a great way to get to know other students and made it much easier to feel comfortable meeting people from different countries. My Korean definitely improved during my time at LTL, and overall I had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend LTL to anyone looking to study Korean in Korea.
Thanks for your lovely words, Sabrina! Really happy to have helped boost your Korean! Hope you continue to improve and let's do it all again another time?! LTL Team
LTL Seoul Summer 2026
July 29, 2026by: Adrian Chung - United KingdomI spent a total of 6 weeks of small group classes at LTL Seoul in May and June and I words cannot describe how much fun I had. The school itself is very nice, all the staff were really kind and helpful. I asked to change classes a couple of times and they were very happy to help me do so. Minji's lessons were so fun and engaging and she was the best teacher so I was able to really improved my Korean so much during my short time there. I also really enjoyed all the activities which were organised by the school every week, where I was able to hang out with my friends I had made there while also exploring the city. It was a good mix of both cultural and fun activities so thanks to Sebastian for organising those! Overall I really recommend of you are considering a language school in Seoul as you will not regret it!
So glad to have you in Seoul with us, Adrian and even more delighted that you had a winderful time with us! It was a pleasure to have you here and we hope to see you again in the future :) Keep up the Korean!! LTL Team
LTL Korean Language School Seoul
December 31, 2025by: Jesse Maiava - United StatesI studied at LTL Korean Language School for about 77 days, starting Korean from absolute beginner level and progressing to elementary level, and I had a genuinely great experience. I learned so much that I didn’t know beforehand, and the teaching style made Korean feel approachable and practical from day one. The environment was relaxed, supportive, and motivating, which made it easy to stay consistent and enjoy learning. What really stood out was the staff and community. The team didn’t just teach — they truly cared about the students. They organized school activities, took us out to eat together, and created chances to connect and practice Korean outside the classroom. Huge thanks to Hailey, Lio, Manuel, 현영, and especially my teacher 고민시 — everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout my time there. If you’re serious about learning Korean and want a school that feels welcoming, engaging, and well-organized, I highly recommend LTL.
Love to hear it Jesse! Delighted you've had a great time with us. You've made super progress and it's a pleasure to have you around LTL Seoul. Keep up the great work! LTL Team
My time learning in South Korea
December 15, 2025by: Catherine Vincent - United StatesI had so much fun! I thought the material was taught really well, and it was pretty easy to understand what we were learning. The afternoon activities were also really fun! I got to go to so many different places and experience so many different things in the Korean culture. I also thought the program had a nice balance of work/class time, mandatory activities, and free time. With that nice balance got to do what I wanted to do and even would have some time to myself during the week.
Best experience ever!
December 04, 2025by: Hannah Crehan - United StatesI had so much fun! Best time of my life it was amazing being able to be so immersed in the culture. I learned a lot and was very stimulated the entire time. I also met so many new people!!! I also got to experience so many cultural activities.
Incredibly amazing trip!
December 03, 2025by: Hannah Harrison - CanadaIt was super amazing to meet everyone, explore different cultures and learn more about Korean life truly life changing. I would absolutely recommend anyone else to take this opportunity to go and truly immerse yourself in the culture.
Great Korean teacher at LTL Language School
November 04, 2025by: Giulia Setzu - ItalyI had the pleasure of learning Korean with 주희 at LTL Language School. She is a highly prepared, patient, and engaging teacher, with excellent communication skills. She is also very flexible and adaptable, always adjusting her lessons to suit my learning needs. In addition to teaching the language, she offered fascinating insights into Korean culture, which made the classes both enjoyable and enriching.
Love to hear it, Giulia! We're so pleased you had a great time with Teacher 주희 and also had fun with the activities too! Come back soon :) LTL Team
Well organised- great option 1 week course
March 25, 2025by: Anna Slawek - GermanyI am really satisfied with LTL- everybody if the staff was so helpful and everything was well organised. I liked the option to choose a course from 1 week to many weeks, so it was easy to adjust it with my vacation plans.

Excellent language school!
February 28, 2025by: Shannon Mitchell - United StatesLTL really makes the whole process easy, from asking questions, to registering for the course, housing, ect. They are there to help before you come to Korea and still there for you once your in Korea. Staff and teachers have all been kind and informative. Really feel like I needed this language course to improve in my learning Korean journey! Truly recommend homestay as you get someone to practice speaking with and they are truely hospitable! And helpful in other ways as well. Drew me a map of how to get to the subway and even showed me multiple ways to get there and back home. I'm easily lost and had never taken the subway before so I really appreciated that!
Thanks for your kind words, Shannon. It's a pleasure to hear you had a great time learning Korean in Seoul with us. We really enjoyed seeing you make great progress. Hope to see you back again soon :) LTL Team
LTL Seoul had the time of my life
January 27, 2025by: Christian Behymer - United StatesKudos to Manuel and Esther for helping myself and other students feel welcomed, and for planning activities that created a truly memorable experience during my time in Seoul. My teacher, Hyunyeong, did a great job at making learning Korean easy, fun, and enjoyable. If you plan on staying in Seoul for a while, you won’t regret taking some classes at LTL!
Thanks for your kind words, Christian. Manu and Esther will be thrilled to hear it, along with your teacher! Hope to see you come back again soon. Best wishes, LTL Team

Even though my stay was short I feel like I've left with a better understanding and more knowledge than before. I had the pleasure of learning from and she really goes the extra mile to make sure you understand.

Intensive Language lessons
August 28, 2024by: Helga Sz - HungaryWhile my 2 months stay in Korea, I opted to subscribe in LTL Language school, perfect location as walking distance from Hongdae. I did intensive lessons 20h/week with a great teacher, 지수 ?, on 1-1 lesson and it was just great! She was a real treasure to me by explaining all in detail, while focusing on speaking, reading and repeating, so I really see a difference in my every day Korean. I hope to come back in October again.
Love to hear it, Helga :) We'll pass your kind words onto 지수. See you again in October. LTL Team
Made lasting connections!
August 28, 2024by: Kennedi-Grace Magaoay - United StatesThrough this program I was able to branch out further than I ever would have at home. I made more than just friends from this experience. I gained sisters from Korea, forever friends from the states, and a new beat friend from Germany! This is an experience I would highly recommend to anyone! It doesn’t even have to be for language enthusiasts.
LTL Online Flexi Classes is a fantastic way to study a new language from the comfort of your own home.
June 29, 2024by: Nathan Paul - United StatesLTL Online Flexi Classes is a fantastic way to study a variety of languages from the comfort of your own home. I have taken several courses in both Japanese and Vietnamese and in both courses, the teachers have been encouraging and knowledgeable about their respective subjects. I particularly like the amount of speaking practice that students receive, as that is often difficult to achieve when studying at home. It is also incredibly helpful to have access to the class materials prior to the lessons so that you can preview what you will be learning, along with being able to save the materials as notes for later. Overall, I would definitely recommend these lessons to anyone who wants to learn a language without breaking the bank.
Thanks for your kind words, Nathan. We're pleased you are enjoying studying with Flexi Classes. We hope you continue to enjoy studying with us :) LTL Flexi Team
I have really enjoyed learning Japanese!
June 18, 2024by: Milly Henley - United KingdomSo far I have been to a number of Japanese classes, taking me from the basics of Japanese to now knowing phrases and vocab that will help me visiting Japan! The teachers are all super super nice and helpful and will make every effort to make your lessons fun for you.
Thanks for your kind words about Flexi Classes, Milly. We hope you continue to enjoy studying Japanese with us. Keep up the great work :) Best wishes, LTL Team
My experience
June 10, 2024by: Octavio Caamano - VenezuelaLTL Flexi Classes classes are excellent to learn new languages and cultures furthermore is available 24/7 every day of the week with excellent professors. Its a terrific way of learning new languages.
Thanks for your kind words, Octavio. We're really happy you are enjoying studying with LTL Flexi Classes. Hope you continue to make great progress with us :) Best wishes, LTL Team
