2nd GEN Korean🌏

​​​​​

Reconnect with your roots. Refine your future. 🇰🇷

Many second-generation (Gyopo) Koreans understand everyday Korean but lack confidence in professional, academic, or cultural Korean. At work—especially in Korean companies—strong bilingual skills (English + Korean) are often expected, yet business Korean and nuanced communication are rarely taught at home. This course is designed for heritage learners who feel their Korean is unbalanced and don’t feel comfortable studying with beginner foreign learners. We focus on practical business Korean, current affairs, history, literature, and real-world language needed for working, living, and building a future in Korea. But, in order to fulfill when you can tap into the 정서 (Jeong-seo)—the unique emotional and cultural sentiment that defines the Korean soul. Without this, language is just a mechanical tool; with it, it becomes a bridge to your identity and your future with your 3rd gen.
