[Open to anyone interested in Korean language and culture]

Whether you are planning a trip to Korea, preparing for an exchange programme, or simply a fan of K-culture, this workshop is for you. Designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge, this interactive workshop focuses on what locals actually say in everyday moments. From ordering ttteokbokki at a street stall and asking for directions in Seoul’s subway to navigating cosmetic shops in Myeongdong and apologizing when bumping into someone, you will master essential survival expressions. Beyond basic logistics, you will discover situation-specific cultural gems: how to politely refuse a drink at a Korean BBQ place, how to handle social interactions appropriately, and how to strike up a conversation to make a local friend.
