I've heard of places that offer free Korean lessons for foreigners. Does anyone have info on this?
Where are they? community centres?
what levels are offered?
How many times a week are they?

Thanks so much

Also interested in this. I've found that migrant workers' centres do but I'm quite far from the nearest.

Ok, thanks, I'll have to look into it. Are there migrant worker centers in each city?

THanks so much. I'm guessing it's in Seoul though, ? I wonder if they'd have something in Daejeon.

I really couldn't tell you. I suspect so.

Mimis, a huge thank you. I tried searching Dave's via Google for that kind of thread before and not had much luck.

I know chungnam university offers Korean lessons, obviously not for free though.

Your best bet may be a language exchange....or there are community centers that could possibly offer classes (probably have vietnamese and chinese classmates). You'll just have to ask someone.

My mistake- there is a school in Daejeon

한남대학교 한국어학당..
042-629-8349관련번호 특수학교
대전 대덕구 오정동 133

A tad off-topic. This is a school you pay for.
I recommend you pay. That way your instructor takes it more seriously.

Lots of free Korean lessons at churches around Daejeon, but they will most likely just be once a week and not very structured.
