Try this:
The Korean Language Education Center at Sogang Univ.: sgedu.sogang.ac.kr, [email protected]. One term is approximately three months long (there are 4 terms a year) and it is possible to start at the beginning of any term. Total tuition for one term is 1,470,000 won (about $1,520) for the regular course (this includes the textbooks).
Note:
I pay 80,000 won every 7 weeks using the Sogang books in Gwangju. That's four hours of instruction, two days a week at the Gwangju International Center. Perhaps, what you could do is round up some interested foreigners who would be interested in class and find a Korean who you think would be able to teach it and explain well. I wouldn't go to a hagwon. A hagwon would be too pricey, IMHO. What about the free lessons at Sookmyung University that's on Saturdays. Maybe, you could ask one of the instructors about private lessons using the book. |

| Sookmyung is way too teacher centered and repetitive. Repeat after me - okay, now you read part a and you read part b, okay, now switch. It gets old fast. It's great for the person first learning, and I picked up some useful stuff when I first started, but now it's just monotonous and boring. |

yeah I dont like the sound of that at all.
Just started the Sogang 2B book- seems good but looking for a school that doesnt require everyday morning attendance...
ill keep searching but most places seem to use Ganada or Yonsei books |

sogang has night classes 3 days a week as well.
the free classes at the hongdae seoul global centre also use the sogang books. however, the semester just started so you probably won't be able to sign up anymore. |

We've got a bargain in Gwangju. We pay 80,000 won for seven weeks. That's a serious bargain. I'm close to finishing 1A and starting 1B. I could have started from 1B, but I am not the kind who likes to jump to another level. I want to learn Korean, not show-off. I am doing this for myself.
I suppose I'd say my class is somewhat teacher centric, but not too much. We do a lot of practicing together, asking each other questions, so it's fine. I am not going to complain at that price and look forward to the lessons. I sure wish I was good enough for say level 3A. Did you notice a huge difference anyone by the time you reached say 2A? I've noticed how I am more able to go from using broken, surival Korean to being able to actually form proper sentences more and more. |

Adventurer Im not the best person to ask as I have skipped around various schools and methods of learning Korean but for me that seems to have worked.
The only constant in my study has been ttmik.com and constantly meeting and finding new language exchange partners. It has helped me immensely
Good luck with the study |

that's a serious bargain, wish there was something similar here.
i only managed to reach level 3a because i did the 'beautiful korean' books beforehand at metro. they just push you to the next level after the book is finished, unless you ask to repeat or something.
3a wasn't that hard in terms of reading, grammar etc but my speaking is a pile of doggy doo-doo. i can form decent sentences but i make too many mistakes. should probably start to study again |

| The Easy Korean Academy teaches Korean, but I don't know if they use the Sogang books. You could check with them. |
