Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit in Korea! Das Personal in der Schule war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Und ich empfand auch Korea selbst sowie die koreanische Kultur als sehr angenehm. Ich war absolut zufrieden! Allerdings empfand ich die Klassenräume persönlich als sehr eng. Ich habe mich in meinem Goshiwon sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war unglaublich lieb und hat mir bei Fragen und Schwierigkeiten immer geholfen.

Die Schule an sich war gut. Einige Klassenräume sowie auch die Studentlounge waren meiner Ansicht nach ein bisschen eng und ungemütlich. Die Lehrer sind jedoch sehr kompetent, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Da ich in der Wintersaison dort war, waren nicht sehr viele Studenten anwesend. Die Preise sind meiner Meinung nach ein bisschen überteuert. Ich hatte eine super Klasse, mit tollen Klassenkameraden. Unsere Lehrerin war nett aber auch streng. Aber dadurch haben wir sehr viel Unterrichtsstoff in einer Woche machen können. Sie hat auch einige Zusatzmaterialien zum lernen gegeben. Meiner Meinung nach könnte die Schule jedoch für jede Stufe ein Lernbuch erstellen, anstatt jede Woche zwei Skripte zu geben...diese häufen sich sehr schnell an wenn man einen längeren Aufenthalt macht. Die Aktivitäten waren okay.

Vielen Dank das ihr mir geholfen habt diese Sprachreise zu verwirklichen. Ich habe mich vollkommen im Land und Leute verliebt und würde jederzeit wieder zurück Reisen! Ich bin jeden Tag gerne zur Schule gegange und ich fand es jeden Tag aufs neue faszinierend wie freundlich dort alle waren. Bei Fragen oder Problemen konnte man sich immer an die Damen vom HelpDesk oder an die Lehrer/innen direkt wenden. Alle Lehrerinen die ich wären meines Aufenthaltes hatte waren wirklich sehr freundlich und ich freue mich sie irgendwann wieder zu sehen. Ich persönlich habe in einem MiniStudio gelebt. Und das Wort Mini trifft es sehr gut! Es war prakmatisch und für meinen Aufenthaltszeitraum In Ordnung. Die Badezimmer sollte nur mal Renoviert werden! Handtücher haben leider gefehlt! Meiner Meinung nach war das Angebot sehr abwechslungsreich. Dennoch habe ich mir mehr Ausflüge gewünscht in denen man die Stadt selbst kennenlernt.

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

Dominic Kummer

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.

Nicholas Proudfoot

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.

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.

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.
