Language Programs in South Korea

The most popular places for language study in South Korea are Seoul, Busan, and Gyeongsan. If you’re interested in a dynamic city life, consider studying in Korea’s two biggest cities, Seoul and Busan. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a smaller town experience, Gyeongsan might be a better fit for you.

Seoul has the best Korean language programs in South Korea and is the number one destination for language learning. The city is filled with historic temples, palaces, and pagodas. The country is also home to major technology corporations, including Samsung and LG.

Busan contains South Korea’s largest beach and its beautiful waters make it crowded year-round. The subway system is easy to navigate, with only a handful of subway lines. While living and studying Korean in Busan is just as exciting as Seoul, you might find it to be easier to get around, meet locals, and make the city really feel like your home away from home.

Gyeongsan is a short distance from Busan, but the lifestyle moves at a completely different pace. You can visit the peaceful Gatbawi Buddha, a popular place where people pray alongside the historic statue. You’re likely to get more one-on-one attention from both professors and locals in Gyeongsan.
