Asia Pathway Korean Language Program in Seoul - KPOP, TOPIK and more!

Learn Korean in the heart of Hongdae, Seoul, around five minutes from Hongik University Station. With new students able to begin every Monday throughout the year, this flexible program lets you study from a minimum of two weeks and choose the pace and focus that matches your goals.

Every course develops practical Korean through lessons with native teachers and integrated practice in speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar. Choose General Korean with 25 blocks per week, Semi-Intensive with 29 blocks, Intensive with 35 blocks, the K-POP course with 34 blocks, or TOPIK Preparation with 29 blocks. One block is 35 minutes, and each course also includes a 20-minute bonus block.

The K-POP option combines Korean lessons with dance and vocal classes plus K-POP-themed activities such as HiKR Ground, dance-studio visits and entertainment-company tours. TOPIK Preparation offers a focused exam curriculum from four weeks in four-week units. Special Focus Lessons connect Korean with current trends, culture and real-life situations, while language activities, workshops and social and cultural programs help students experience Seoul beyond the classroom.

Classes are available from Starter to Advanced, and absolute beginners who cannot yet read Hangul are welcome. Placement uses an online level test and student survey after registration, followed by an on-site speaking test at orientation when needed.
