Founded as part of the international Lexis Education Group, the school specializes in teaching Korean as a foreign language to students from around the world. Whether you want to learn Korean for travel, career advancement, K-pop and K-drama appreciation, or university preparation, Lexis Korea provides structured courses that produce real results.

Why Study Korean at Lexis Korea?

Choosing the right language school is one of the most important decisions you'll make when studying abroad. Lexis Korea stands out for several reasons:

• Small class sizes — With a maximum of 10 students per class, you get personalized attention and plenty of speaking practice. This student-to-teacher ratio is well below the industry average, which means faster progress.
• Flexible start dates — Unlike university programs that start every semester, Lexis Korea courses begin every Monday. You can enroll for as little as 1 week or as long as 61 weeks.
• Two campus locations — Study in the vibrant Gangnam district of Seoul or the beautiful coastal city of Busan. Both campuses are in prime locations with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
• Experienced native-speaking teachers — All instructors hold university degrees in Korean language education and use communicative teaching methods designed to get you speaking from day one.
• Visa support — Lexis Korea provides D-4 student visa sponsorship for long-term students, making it easy to study legally in South Korea.
• Cultural immersion activities — Regular cultural excursions, K-pop dance classes, Korean cooking sessions, and city tours help you practice Korean outside the classroom.

Course Options at Lexis Korea

Intensive Korean 25 (25 hours/week)

The flagship program at Lexis Korea, the Intensive Korean 25 course runs Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Morning sessions focus on core language skills — grammar, reading, writing, and conversation — while afternoon classes dive into specialized topics like K-Pop Korean, K-Drama vocabulary, TOPIK exam preparation, and business Korean. This is the most popular option for students serious about achieving fluency quickly.

Intensive Korean 15 (15 hours/week)

If you prefer a lighter schedule with more free time to explore, the Intensive Korean 15 course runs Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM. You'll cover all the essential grammar and conversation skills in the morning, leaving afternoons free for self-study, part-time work (if your visa allows), or exploring Korea's incredible food scene and cultural landmarks.

Weekend Korean Classes

For students already working or studying in Korea, Lexis Korea offers Weekend Korean classes. Held on Saturdays, these sessions are perfect for expats, English teachers, and exchange students who want structured Korean lessons without interfering with their weekday commitments.

Online Live Korean Classes

Can't make it to Korea just yet? Lexis Korea's Online Live Korean program lets you study with the same qualified teachers via interactive video classes. You'll join a real classroom in real-time, participating in group discussions and activities just like on-campus students. This is an excellent option for learners who want a structured program before committing to studying abroad.

Seoul Gangnam Campus

The Seoul campus is located in the heart of Gangnam — one of Seoul's most dynamic and well-connected districts. Famous worldwide thanks to Gangnam Style, this area is a hub for business, entertainment, shopping, and nightlife. The campus sits just minutes from Gangnam Station (Line 2), giving students quick access to the entire Seoul metro network. Popular nearby attractions include COEX Mall, Bongeunsa Temple, the Han River parks, and countless Korean BBQ restaurants and cafes.

Studying in Gangnam means you're surrounded by Korean pop culture, technology companies, and young professionals — the perfect environment for practicing your Korean in real-world situations every day.

Busan Haeundae Campus

The Busan campus is situated in the Haeundae district, home to South Korea's most famous beach. Busan is the country's second-largest city and offers a more relaxed, affordable alternative to Seoul while still providing excellent infrastructure and cultural opportunities. The campus is walking distance from Haeundae Beach, and the area is known for its fresh seafood markets, hot springs, mountain hiking trails, and the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF).

Many students choose Busan for its lower cost of living, warmer climate, and smaller international student community — which means more opportunities to use Korean daily rather than falling back on English.

Who Studies at Lexis Korea?

Lexis Korea attracts a diverse mix of students from over 50 countries. You'll study alongside university students on gap years, working professionals looking to add Korean to their resume, K-pop and K-drama fans wanting to understand their favorite content without subtitles, and people planning to work or live in South Korea long-term. The multicultural classroom environment makes the experience richer and helps you build an international network of friends.

Accommodation and Student Life

Lexis Korea partners with local accommodation providers to offer several housing options for international students. Choices typically include goshiwon (private study rooms popular with Korean students), shared apartments, and homestays with Korean families. The school's student services team helps with accommodation placement, airport pickup, SIM card registration, and bank account setup — so you can focus on learning Korean from day one.

TOPIK Preparation and Academic Korean

For students planning to enter a Korean university or needing official proof of Korean proficiency, Lexis Korea offers specialized TOPIK preparation integrated into the Intensive 25 afternoon sessions. The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is the internationally recognized Korean language certification, and achieving a high score opens doors to university admission, scholarships, and employment in South Korea.
