Learning Korean
There are two places I know of in London to learn Korean
- SOAS. General information on their Korean courses, together with a link to TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) can be found here.The courses for the Autumn 2006 season are set out here.
Details on tailored courses are here.
- The Korean Cultural Centre. These classes started in June 2008 and were heavily over-subscribed (because they are free, apart from a contribution to the course books).
There’s a Korean language meetup club in London: here.
Books
For those who want to try to learn on their own, probably the best source of self-tuition materials are available at Grant & Cutler, 55-57 Great Marlborough Street, W1F 7AY.
Other resources
