Is there any place in the Gangnam area where I can learn Korean? I know of KECC, but they don't offer classes that fit my schedule. Does anyone know of any other places?

Sorry for posting a rather common question but the search engine doesn't seem to work for me.

Au contraire.

The experience is different for everybody but for those people who learn best in structured learning situations Seoul is the best place to be.

There's a place where my co-worker went but the name of it escapes me at the moment. Maybe it's on this page somewhere.

I know that people have different learning styles but I doubt that anyone picks up Korean by just using it in the classroom. It is a lot more difficult to practice Korean in Seoul than outside of Seoul.

There's the KLA (Korean Language Academy) about 200 m east of Gangnam station on the parallel to the north of Tehran Road.

Edit: and I should have mentioned, on the same block on Tehran Road, in the "Platinum" building, there is Berlitz. First class but expensive.

The price is very reasonable, thanks for the tip, Beav.

Since I plan to attend a uni starting in late March, maybe 1 month of brush up study is in order.

Wanja,

Can you tell me how much the Berlitz program is? And do you think it is worth it??
