A language course is an investment in yourself. In your self-confidence. In your future in the Netherlands or beyond. That’s why we at Babel work with you to figure out the costs. You don’t always have to pay for a course yourself. Sometimes DUO helps out. Sometimes your employer does. And sometimes you get a discount. Find out what’s possible for you.

Approach

In the Korean 2 course, the teacher guides you step by step through the teaching method. The teacher explains vocabulary and grammar and supports the lessons with additional examples. We expect you to complete the assignments in the workbook and actively work on learning vocabulary. Vocabulary tests will be administered during the course to support your progress.

The focus in this course is on speaking skills, but listening, reading and writing are also covered extensively. You will practice individually, in pairs and in groups, in a safe learning environment where you will learn to use Korean with confidence. In the course we use audiovisual material and additional activities, so that you learn the language in an interactive and playful way.

Teaching Materials

You will work with the text and workbook ‘Sogang Korean 1A (3rd Edition)’. For self-study you will receive assignments and teaching materials that will help you to continue practicing at home, these assignments will be discussed during the meetings. Before the start of the course we will inform you how you can easily order the teaching materials so that you can start your lesson well prepared.

Through bespoke training, we bridge the gap between language and
collaboration. We help staff to attend meetings with confidence, give feedback, use industry jargon and join in the banter by the coffee machine. Because collaboration starts with understanding one another.

For me, there is nothing more fulfilling than making a real connection with someone in their native language. As Nelson Mandela famously said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart”. And if I can play just a small part in helping you get there, then my day is made!

Learning a language is not just about what you say. It’s as important as how you say it, when and where. And with whom you are communicating. Language and culture go hand in hand.

My lessons are all about the students. What do they want to learn? What do they need to achieve their goals? I believe it’s important to combine hard work with fun. A lesson without laughter is a lesson not learnt!

Frequently asked questions

Can I make up a missed Korean class?

Unfortunately, in group courses it is not possible to make up a missed lesson, because the lessons take place at fixed times for the whole group. Through the lesson materials, homework and lesson plan in MyBabel, you can work through the missed material independently so that you can continue to follow the course well.

Can I pay in installments?

You pay the course fee in a single payment. You can do this upon registration via iDEAL, credit card, or by having your employer pay the invoice.

What are the advantages of a group language course?

A group language course offers the opportunity to learn and practice with others. You benefit from interactive lessons, learn from the questions and experiences of fellow students, and have plenty of opportunity to use the language actively. In addition, the group dynamic often provides extra motivation and a pleasant learning environment.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom is a live online language course in which you take lessons together with a teacher and other students. You participate via Zoom or Teams, for example, and actively practice during the lesson. This combines the interaction of a group lesson with the convenience of online learning. Many students choose this form because of its flexibility.
