"It's been an awesome place to study, and I won't forget it too quickly!!"
Ian Adams,
exchange student
to Korea 2001.
The best way to learn a foreign language is to spend some time living in the country where the language is spoken, ideally through an exchange program. But going on exchange is much more than simply language learning. You will be thoroughly submerged in Korean life. Imagine surviving on diet of Kimchi and the many other Korean delicacies, going to the Norebang (Korean Karaoke) for a few rounds of Soju (Korean liqour) with your friends, and perhaps the occasional weekend hike in the beautiful Korean mountains. While going on exchange poses many challenges - you will probably crave the familiar life of your homeland at some point - the experience is rich, rewarding and unforgettable. You get out of it what you put in.

There are many opportunities to visit Korea on exchange. All the universities which offer Korean have exchange programs with Korean universities and encourage students to visit Korea as an exchange student, usually for 3, 6 or 12 months.
