Der Aufenthalt war großartig. Der Kursort an sich war auch die richtige Entscheidung für mich. Der Standort der Schule war bestens. Super viele Geschäfte, Cafés und Restaurants in der Nähe. Die U-Bahn Station ist auch keine 200 Meter entfernt und die Unterkunft war nur 10 min Fußweg von der Schule entfernt. Die Klassenräume waren auch ordentlich und recht modern, mit Fernseher, und nicht zu groß. Der Nationalitäten-Mix ist gegeben. Das Kursmaterial ist geordnet, übersichtlich, leicht zu verstehen, Erklärungen und Übungen sind einfach und lehrreich. Die Unterrichtsmethode war auch recht gut. Grammatiken und alle Fragen wurden von den überaus freundlichen Lehrern.

« Ja, ich bin selbstständiger, selbstbewusster. Man lernt die eigenen Bedürfnisse besser kennen, wenn man diese Reise ohne Begleitperson antritt. Ich habe einige neue Freundschaften mit Leuten von verschiedenen Ländern, unter anderem auch Südkorea, geschlossen. Der eigene Horizont wird erweitert, dadurch, dass man als Fremder dieses kulturell sehr unterschiedliche Land erleben und miterleben darf. »

Grazie alla ESL ho potuto vivere un esperienza che porterò per sempre nel cuore e che sarò felice di ripetere. Ho prenotato il soggiorno via internet e grazie alla loro gentile disponibilità e precisione, mi hanno saputo delucidare su qualsiasi dubbio. Ho frequentato il corso intensivo presso Lexis Korea per 8 settimane e devo dire che la ESL ha scelto la scuola perfetta per poter imparare in poche settimane una lingua cosi complessa come il coreano. Ottima posizione della scuola, in piena città di Gangnam e vicino alla metropolitana con la quale in poco tempo si possono raggiungere le migliori attrazioni turistiche. Ottimo personale e gli insegnanti precisi, divertenti, impeccabili. L'alloggio è stato un ministudio. Purtroppo l'unico problema è stato l'ascensore che non era nella struttura, tutta via a 15 minuti massimo dalla scuola è stato veramente comodo. Per la disponibilità e l' organizzazione in genere, posso consigliare la ESL se si vuole vivere una delle piu splendide esperienze in Corea. Un po cara ma compensa la totale esperienza e professionalità degli insegnanti, disponibili a chiarire qualsiasi dubbio sulla grammatica anche fuori orario scolastico. Personale alla reception cordiale e disponibile a risolvere qualsiasi tipo di chiarimento. Le attivita perfette per smorzare un po la tensione del' intenso studio. Impeccabile, niente da aggiungere.

Mein dreiwöchiger Sprachaufenthalt in Seoul an der Lexis Korea war eine fantastische Zeit. Ich hatte noch nie so viel Spaß beim Lernen. Die Lehrer waren einfühlsam, locker und hatten ihren Fokus dennoch auf dem Lernerfolg der Schüler. Auch wenn ich von 9:00 bis 15:30 Uhr (und manchmal sogar zusätzliche Privatstunden bis 18:00 Uhr) hatte, habe ich meine Zeit und den Unterricht sehr genossen! Die Level (Foundation - Beginner - Pre-Intermediate etc.) waren sehr gut eingeteilt und auch der Unterricht war immer sehr gut organisiert. Die Geduld der Lehrer haben mich überrascht und begeistert. Lediglich die Schulklassen hätten teilweise etwas kleiner sein können. Die Klassenräume waren teilweise etwas klein, aber je nachdem wie viele Schüler in der Klasse an sich waren, hat es entweder überhaupt nicht oder nur gering gestört. Die Ausstattung der Klassenräume war immer sehr gut. Internetzugang mit seinen eigenen Geräten hatte man auch die ganze Zeit. Der Unterricht war fantastisch! Hauptsächlich wurde er auf Koreanisch durchgeführt. Wenn etwas jedoch absolut nicht verstanden wurde, kam eine Erklärung in Englisch hinzu. Allgemein war den Lehrern der Spaß UND der Lernfortschritt sehr wichtig. Ich muss sagen, ich hatte wirklich noch nie so viel Spaß beim Lernen. Es fühlte sich nicht wirklich an, als würde ich mich in einer Schule befinden. Mir fiel das Lernen eindeutig leichter als Zuhause.

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.

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.
