Maximum of 10 students + 1:1 teaching system + Language Exchange Program + Friday Global Party
Through each month of a course you take, you will learn Korean through our direct teaching method, usually in a class of 4-5 other students (maximum, 8 students) who are equal to your level of Korean. Because of this pre-established system, you will be able to speak and write Korean on a practical level.
Other preexisting academies insist on teaching Korean to beginners, with English textbooks, using only Korean. Because of this, students find it extremely difficult to follow Korean language courses. In order to avoid this problem, Best Friend supports using English in class as well.In order to help foreigners and Korean-Americans, we offer specialized classes in: adjusting to life here in Korea, passing the entrance exam for college, and preparing for a job. Also, you will be able to understand Korean culture in familial and interpersonal relationships as well as the workplace, thus possibly leading to other outside opportunities.
