good to know warm people.

Actually, now I will be 3rd grade of High school and willing to apply University after getting High school diploma in Korea. I have nothing about Korean language so I just had few months in High school exchange program, it was quite new experiences, something was stupid because of lack of language issues. Now I can speak Korean much better than before and keep going high level. I moved another High school but still chat and rarely meet with Korean friends when I first came in Korea. It is good to know my Korean friends and people.^^

Great Experience in Korean Culture

I had a wonderful time participating in this program. It was very well-organized and offered a variety of activities that allowed me to immerse myself in Korean culture. Each experience was thoughtfully planned, making it easy to engage and learn. I would definitely want to join this program again in the future!

love my friends

I could not adjust well in China and not interested in study so my parents and I try to get better opportunities in Korea. Almost of High schools rejected me because not enough Korean language but VOYAGE Korea gave me a chance and persuaded many schools for me. NO I am a freshman in my High school and I so happy with my life in Korea. Everyday is lovely and curious and want to go everywhere if I can...haha!
