Hangul can be learned in a week; speaking with confidence takes a little longer. Classes start with the alphabet and pronunciation, then build the grammar and vocabulary for everyday conversation, K-culture and the workplace. Groups of eight or fewer and native teachers keep you talking from the first lesson, with TOPIK preparation along the way.

Why Lingo
Never more than eight students, so you speak in every lesson and your teacher hears every answer.
Lingo is an official test for MCCY and MFA officers. We take pride in the quality of our courses and assessments, and that expertise goes into every programme we deliver.


Who it is for
Meetings, email and negotiation in the register colleagues really use, plus the Korean for clients, suppliers and presentations.
Order, ask the way and hold a real conversation on your next trip, with the everyday Korean that hotels, markets and taxis run on.
Go past memorised phrases into the grammar behind them, so you can read, watch and follow the culture in Korean rather than a translation.
Course outline
Every level splits into two class steps, so the jump from one to the next stays manageable. Here is the route from your first sentence to professional fluency.

Google reviews
“John is a very patient teacher who takes time to explain the details behind all the nuances in the Korean language. Even though Korean is difficult, he makes it interesting to learn.”
“Our Korean teacher, John Park, is incredibly patient, supportive and knowledgeable. I’ve gained much more confidence in speaking, reading and understanding Korean thanks to his guidance.”

How you will learn
