Tatiana

Hi, my name is Tatiana, and I'm 19 years old.

I'm currently studying at Kyungbok University on a summer language program.

Classes are held from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with four 50-minute classes each day.

There are two main exams during the semester: a midterm and a final exam. The format is the same for both.

Day 1:

  • Reading, listening, and writing (approximately 1 hour with breaks):
  • Reading: Reading short texts and answering comprehension questions.
  • Listening: Listening to texts and answering questions.
  • Writing: Several grammar exercises and writing two essays on given topics.

Day 2:

  • Speaking:
  • Teacher & Student (T&S) dialogue on given topics.
  • Student & Student (S&S) dialogue on given topics.
  • PowerPoint Presentation on one of three proposed topics.

The class size is typically around 15 students, coming from diverse countries like Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, the USA, and Europe.

The professor takes the students to two large hypermarkets three times a week: Emart (grocery store) and Daiso (household goods).

Food:

  • There is a shared kitchen on the first floor of the dormitory, equipped with stoves, exhaust hoods, and sinks.
  • The university cafeteria offers lunch for 4,000 KRW (about 260 rubles), featuring various Korean dishes, sometimes spicy, sometimes not.
  • There are also cafes in front of the university that serve sets (rice, salad, cutlets or tonkatsu) for around 5,000 to 6,000 KRW.

The dormitory houses both international and Korean students, creating a great opportunity to practice the language.

I met my Korean friends on my own, as Koreans are typically shy and unlikely to approach first. So, it's up to you to take the initiative!

I want to thank Inter-K Education Group for their help with my admission process!
