So what should I do if I want to attend?
Email Rev. Samuel Weddington at samuel_weddington@hotmail.com or call at 010-8959-0207. Then we will prepare in advance the materials you need on your first day. Please arrive 20 minutes early (10:40am) so that we can get you registered and help get you situated at the best level for you.
What are the classes like?
Fun, of course! The sizes are usually between 2-5 students per class so you will get individual attention. We also have outings so that we can enjoy the culture and festivities. We encourage you to give us suggestions as well.
How often are classes held?
They are once a week on Saturdays, from 11:00am - 12:40pm. We also have plans to add a class on Sundays.
It’s the middle of the term. Can I still join right now?
Yes. We have a special tutorial to teach you how to read. Once you have mastered reading, you can enter into one of our basic classes. There are usually other people in the class. This could 1-2 weeks depending on your progress.
How do I know what level is appropriate for me?
We follow the Yonsei University Korean Language Program textbooks. It is the oldest and most respected Korean language learning program in Korea. You can check out this link to get a sense of our levels.
I know absolutely zero Korean. Can I attend?
Absolutely! That's why we're here. If you want, you can even get a head start before you come by visiting this link to help you get started.
What if I get lost?
People rarely get lost because we are immediately next to the subway exit. But if you do have a hard time finding us, please call Samuel Weddington at the number mentioned above. Also, if we know you are coming, there will be somebody outside exit 3 of Sports Complex Station beside a “Learn Korean” sign. You can approach him or her for more specific directions.
What if I cancel my first visit?
If you cannot come your first day, please notify Samuel Weddington so that the person waiting outside the subway exit knows not to expect you. You are welcome to come on another day.
What’s the catch?
There is no catch. We are doing this so that we can help you enjoy your stay in Korea by meeting people, encountering culture and learning language. Hence our name: PCL.
