I�m going to Korea next month on a tourist visa and will try and enrol in a language school and study as much as I can for 3 months while at the same time trying to secure a public school jobs with the aim of starting work from Febuary next year.

Can anyone recommend a few good language schools that you can just sign up to on a monthly or even weekly basis?

Also, would appreciate your thoughts on my plan. I think there are going to be lots of people applying now for these jobs as unemployment is very high in the west generally, especially among those who have recently graduated. I�d like to know what my odds are for securing some kind of work so I could get back to Korea by Feb next year (on a work visa).

Ganada language Institute in Hongdae.

Quite a few Japanese study there, couple westerners but not as many. That can be a good thing as you will have no choice but to speak Korean most of the time.

Last time I checked they do monthly courses and reasonably priced.

YBM is also pretty good. I recently started there, and it's pretty decent.

The hagwon is in downtown Seoul near Insadong. http://kli.ybmedu.com/hakwon/kli/course_eng.asp
