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.
