Okay, so I looked through the FAQ and couldnt find anything that would suit me.

I just moved to Korea about a month ago, and trying to learn the language on my own is going waaaaay too slowly. I'm looking for a night class a few times a week to learn Korean and hopefully meet some other English speakers. As far as I can tell, I'm the only one within a 20 block radius of where I live. I work 9-5 and live off the Gangdong terminal on line 5 (way east end of town, close to the Gil-dong terminal too). One of my main objectives in moving out here was to learn the language, so if anyone could help me out that'd be great.
The closer to where I live the better, but I guess I'm up for a bit of a commute. Oooh, and does anyone know of any foreign hang outs around that side of town, I'm the only foreign teacher at my school, and the only person that speaks English in my building as far as I can tell. The 6 hours of silence after work is getting kinda lonely.

thanks!

There's a few evening classes about. The course at Ewha Womens University is excellent - all levels and great teachers, I also went to a language school in Gangnam - but that sucked! For a long list of korean courses go to seoulscene.com click 'links' then 'culture'.

i have to commute about 2 hours to get to class but it's a good opportunity to do my homework!
