J'ai eu l'occasion pendant ces trois semaines de réaliser mon rêve. Pour ma part, mes illusions se sont trouvées être la réalité. Le séjour était très agréable. Les professeurs de l'école sont vraiment géniaux, la famille qui m'a accueilli était au top, la maman m'a pris sous son aile et est devenu en quelques jours une seconde maman. Le pays est magnifique, c'est un choc culturel qui vaut le coup. J'ai beaucoup appris au niveau de l'aspect linguistique mais aussi humain. J'ai appris que la langue n'est pas qu'une barrière, elle permet également de rapprocher les gens des uns des autres. C'était une expérience formidable. L'école est située dans uns des quartiers les plus fréquentés de Séoul. Le bâtiment est facilement repérable, à deux minutes à pied de la station de métro la plus proche. Beaucoup de restaurants sont à proximité, donc pas de problème pour trouver à manger rapidement et pas chère pour déjeuner. C'est très bien entretenu, et aussi très confortable. Le seul petit problème est que l'on manque de place dans la salle de repos. Le nombre d'étudiants est trop important par rapport à la place que nous avons pour les pauses. Les professeurs sont géniaux, il est très facile d'échanger avec eux. Au départ les cours en coréen sont difficiles mais l'on s'habitue et on apprend beaucoup. Je ne suis pas restée assez de temps sur place pour changer de niveau, mais je me suis beaucoup améliorée. La méthode d'enseignement est géniale, ludique. Apprendre au contact des natifs est la meilleure solution. La famille d'accueil était tout simplement génial. La dame est devenu comme une seconde maman et à vrai dire je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'elle s'occupe autant de moi. Je recommande évidemment le logement qui était très confortable et proche de tout.

« J'ai fait de gros progrès. Mon niveau en lui même reste le même, mais j'ai eu l'occasion de parler avec des natifs, que ce soit à l'école, dans la rue, dans le métro, dans des magasins et avec la famille. C'est très enrichissant. En étant dans le pays on peut être confronter à des situations diverses et ainsi travailler et apprendre un maximum de vocabulaire. Le fait d'être en plus de cela à l'école nous m'a permit de tester les formulation, le vocabulaire appris en classe et ainsi apprendre plus vite. »

« Ce que j'ai beaucoup aimé est le fait que les cours soient tout en coréen, et que les professeurs n'étaient pas tous de Séoul. Les professeurs n'étant pas de la même région n'avaient pas tous le même discours et ont ainsi pu nous partager leurs expériences diverses dans des régions différentes de la Corée. Les cours étant en coréen m'ont permis de m'améliorer très rapidement et d'acquérir de bons réflexes avec la langue coréenne. L'école est aussi très bien placée dans Séoul, on est dans un quartier où l'on peut trouver de tout et c'est assez pratique lorsqu'on est étudiant. »

The school was a touch expensive, but the teachers were very good. In a city with very high pollution levels seasonally air purifiers in the classrooms would have been appreciated. Watching a film in English with Korean subtitles was not, in my opinion, the best use of my limited time. Going over the film afterwards having studied the grammar and vocab was very useful, but perhaps watching something shorter. Otherwise the teaching was really good. Very interactive, and the teachers helped me practise my speaking and listening. Booked the same accommodation as is usually arranged by the school. Was somewhat cheaper to book myself, and the accommodation was lovely. The meetup arranged by the school was rather poorly attended (although to be fair it was -10°C outside), but I spent a good 2 hours talking to the teacher. I have already recommended ESL to a few friends.

« I think the fluidity with which I communicate improved, although the number of mistakes I make also seemed to increase. Overall I think this is a net positive. I think having lots of chances to speak in class helped. I also tried to spend time with people who didn't speak English to stop me just defaulting back. »

Cours et pays très intéressants Super école, à l'ecoute des élèves, les professeurs sont au top, très gentils, très drôles.

Ik heb echt een super tijd gehad in seoul dankzij esl! De school was echt top, alleen had ik wel wat meer verwacht van de middag lesuren. Daar was meestal weinig tot geen toevoeging bij wat erg jammer was. De studenten waarmee ik les had waren erg leuk waardoor de sfeer gezellig was. De dynamiek tussen de leerkrachten en studenten was ook top! Mijn gastgezin was super leuk! Elke ochtend en avond lekker gegeten. Ook hebben ze mij een beerje geholpen met het leren wat ook wel fijn was. Er waren vaak leuke activiteiten na school waardoor je weer mensen kon leren kennen! Ik heb een super leuke tijd gehad door esl en lexis korea, en wil eigenlijk zo snel mogelijk weer terug!! Ik wil jullie hierbij ook eventjes bedanken voor de hulp wat erg gewaardeerd werd!

Testimonials

Alejandrina Elzo Andrade & Alysson Parra Marin

Lexis, Seoul
Duration: 12 weeks

With my best friend Alysson, I arrived in South Korea in early February 2014. On the next day, we went to Lexis Korea, a language school that teaches Korean to students from so many different countries that it is hard to imagine. I met wonderful people there, whom I could refer to when I had doubts. The classes are understandable and fun, and time passes by so quickly. I was recommended this Korean language school by ESL.

The teachers are friendly and amiable, especially teacher 상우 who accompanied us throughout the course and helped us understand her culture better.
In class, we had friends from various countries, including France, Sweden, Pakistan, Japan, among others. Read more

Lexis, Seoul
Duration: 2 weeks

I took a language course in South Korea with ESL. I travelled to Seoul with the conviction that learning Korean would add significant value to my résumé. Making the most of my Korean classes at Lexis Seoul, I rapidly fitted into the urban lifestyle of this welcoming metropolis, even playing in the local college football team. I stayed in a residence located 5 minutes’ walk to the language school and I felt that foreigners, especially when they are interested in getting to know the local people and lifestyle, are very popular there.

Lexis, Seoul
Duration: 8 weeks

I’ve had a great time doing an intensive Korean course. Our whole class came as total beginners and we were all reading,writing and speaking in the first week. This course really helped me get more out of my trip in Korea. The staff were really helpful and assisted me a lot getting set up in Seoul, arranging my accommodation and Korean phone number. A big thank you to the friendly staff, teachers and fellow students, as well as a really effective course. I never thought I could learn Korean basics so quickly.

Host family
During your stay in Seoul, you will be welcomed into a South Korean family’s home, staying in a single bedroom and sharing the communal areas with your hosts. This is a unique opportunity to experience local life and practise Korean in daily situations. You will be immersed in their culture and have the chance to taste delicious Korean specialties. Some families live in the centre of Seoul, while others live in nearby districts close to the centre. The public transport network is excellent but it may take you up to an hour to reach the school.

Mini studio (from 18 years)
Our partner school offers a budget-friendly single room accommodation option, ideal if you want more independence. Located just a metro stop from the school building (or 15 minutes’ walk), in an area with many shops, restaurants and cafés, you will live in a small studio (in line with local standards) equipped to a high standard, with a bed, storage space, a refrigerator, air conditioning, a TV and free wired internet. You will have your own bathroom and share the communal kitchen, laundry room and outdoor dining area with the other international students. The building is entirely secure.

Residence (from 18 years)
Your convenience is guaranteed at this residence located right next to the language school! In your modern, en suite room, you’ll find a kitchenette with a fridge, microwave and kettle, a desk and chair, a TV, balcony, free Wi-Fi and even a washing machine. Choose from a single or twin room (quads also available, and this option as well as the twin may be booked by a single student who will be matched with other students). The building includes a gym and sauna, and with Gangnam Station around the corner, all of Seoul is right at your fingertips!

Your free time in Seoul is your chance to practise what you learn in class, while discovering a bustling metropolis. The school organises evenings such as K-pop concerts and legendary karaoke nights: an authentic slice of Korean culture. During the week, visits to museums, historical monuments and traditional areas of the city are offered, including the must-see Palace of Gyeongbokgung. The school will also take you shopping to Myeong-dong, a city within the city, with shops as far as the eye can see. Sign up for the Korean food day and pamper your taste buds with an impressive range of flavours. The world’s largest indoor amusement park, Lotte World, is found here; or if you prefer restful Buddhist temples, you will find hundreds of them – true havens of peace, contrasting with the hustle and bustle of the city.
