After a half year break Korean language will be taught at VMU again. The first levels of Korean language will be taught by the lecturer of the Centre for East Asian Studies Jinseok Seo, while the third level will be taught by the visiting lecturer Dr. Jeongim Hyun from Sogang University, who is a graduate of Sorbonne University.
Korean language has been taught in Kaunas since 2007 (continously since 2008), and VMU has become the first and the only university in Baltic countries offering the courses of this exotic language. This isolated Asian language, which has no comparatives in the world, features a special writing system called hangeul. This writing system is less complicated compared to Japanese or Chinese writing systems, and therefore it is easier to master. However, Korean language has many particular grammatical constructions and numerous levels of the polite speech, thus making it complicated to learn for the Westerners.

Please contact the Centre of Foreign Languages for the availability of Korean language courses.
