Why Learn Korean in Singapore

South Korea is an important trading partner for Singapore and a global leader in technology, consumer brands, and entertainment. Many Singaporeans also engage closely with Korean media and culture, and learners interested in East Asian languages often explore Japanese alongside Korean when engaging with the region’s films, media, and popular culture.

Learning Korean can help you:

  • communicate with Korean colleagues and business partners

  • travel more comfortably in Korean cities such as Seoul or Busan

  • understand Korean films, dramas, and music without translation

  • engage more deeply with Korean culture and society

As Korea’s global influence continues to grow, Korean language skills are becoming increasingly valuable.

Who Our Courses Are Designed For

Our Korean courses are designed for learners in Singapore who engage with Korean culture, travel regularly to Korea, or work with Korean companies.

Typical learners include:

  • professionals working with Korean partners or regional teams

  • individuals relocating to Korea for work or study

  • learners interested in Korean films, television, and music

  • travellers who visit Korea frequently

Lessons focus on practical communication used in both everyday interactions and professional environments.

About Korean

Korean is spoken by more than 80 million people, primarily in South Korea and North Korea. It is the official language of both countries and widely used by Korean communities around the world.

The language is written using Hangul, a phonetic writing system created in the 15th century during the Joseon dynasty. Hangul was designed to be easy to learn and scientifically structured, with letters that reflect how sounds are produced in the mouth.

Korean grammar differs from English in several ways. Korean typically follows a subject–object–verb sentence order, and verbs change depending on tense, politeness, and context.

Korean Course Levels

Our Korean courses follow the internationally recognised Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), but we describe them in practical terms so you can easily find the right starting point.
