Don't waste your time with Yonsei.
Pick Sogang or Seoul National University.
SNU is a good program. 10 week program, 1,400,000 won per session, 9am - 1 pm M-F. Let me know if you have any other specific questions about SNU.
SNU's website:
http://lei.snu.ac.kr/english/pages/SD00014_00.jsp
Sogangs's website:
http://klec.sogang.ac.kr/
I think Sogang's programs are more flexible than most programs as well. |

Too much grammar and not enough time to practice it. However, I did level 1 and 2 at Yonsei and was satisfied (at least until near the end of level 2). When arrived at Sogang I was a bit ahead of my classmates. If you are interested in learning a lot of grammar and are able to gets lots of practice outside the classroom, then Yonsei is fine.
As has been posted over and over, Sogang focusses on speaking. You learn about 4 grammar structures per week and you practice the hell out of them.
Good luck. |
