Hangul in a weekend, Korean for years

The good news first: Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is one of the most logical writing systems in the world, with 24 basic letters grouped into syllable blocks. Most learners read it after a weekend. The harder part is grammar: the verb comes at the end, particles mark the role of each word, and speech levels change with the age and status of the person you speak to.

The US Foreign Service Institute places Korean among the hardest languages for English speakers, at about 2,200 class hours for professional fluency. With a native tutor, you learn the polite forms from the start, which is what matters when you travel or meet Korean speakers in Mervyn or online.

Korean lessons in County Wexford: cost and TOPIK levels

Korean tutors are rare outside Dublin, so learners in County Wexford mostly study online: native tutors from Korea charge €10 to €30 an hour, with a discounted trial lesson. University evening courses, where they exist, cost around €200 to €350 a term.

The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) has two papers: TOPIK I for levels 1 and 2, TOPIK II for levels 3 to 6. Level 3 or 4 is usually needed for a Korean university, and the exam is held a few times a year at centres in Europe: check dates and places early. A tutor can build your lessons around past papers.

Korean courses by video: you choose a native or certified tutor for this language, book a first lesson at a low price, then set your own pace.

Korean courses: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week, all year

The most common pace for adults: it keeps motivation up and gains about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A sprint before an exam

Three or four lessons a week for one or two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.

Conversation only, to dare to speak

No textbook: you talk about your daily life, the news and your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Korean courses in Mervyn: common questions

How long does it take to read Korean?

A few hours to a weekend to learn Hangul, a few weeks to read it smoothly. Understanding what you read takes longer: the vocabulary is new to English speakers, apart from loanwords such as 'keopi' for coffee.

Is Korean useful for work in Ireland?

In a small number of roles: tech, gaming, cosmetics and tourism companies with Korean customers, translation, and teaching English in Korea. For most learners it is a personal project, and a weekly lesson with a native tutor keeps it on track.
