skill in a short period of time.
Since our classes consist of small groups of 3 to 8 students (max16), our students
are given a lot of opportunities to speak and receive detailed feedback from the
teachers. In addition, Rolling Korea always works hard to understand each and
every student's learning ability and help them to study most effectively. Our skilled
and professional teachers will support every student to speak with ease and create
a comfortable atmosphere for everyone to speak in Korean. Students come to
Rolling Korea from North America, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan and many
more around the world. Every semester, students are excited that they can interact
with friends from other countries by speaking in Korean. This is one of the positive
aspects of studying at Rolling Korea with a global atmosphere.
Regular Exams
Tests and exams are conducted on a regular basis to help the students analyze
where they are and discover areas to improve. On the third week, the students have
speaking tests and proceed with classes to help strengthen their weaknesses. On
the fourth week, there are writing tests. After these tests, we determine if students
are ready to move on to the next level.

Studying Korean is important, but what makes it more efficient and
special is interacting with people from all over the world! In addition to
classes, Rolling Korea provides social programs to create opportunities to
make new friends and to simply have fun. It helps the students focus
better when they meet friends from other classes and strike up conversa-
tion with the teachers. We are well aware that it is meaningful for the
students to create wonderful memories with their classmates through
activities like Palace tours, traditional market exploration, or a picnic by
the Han River. These social programs not only make studying more fun
but also add great significance to the students' experience.

Your Last day
at school with Rolling Korea
In the end, the last day of class at Rolling Korea will come for every student. In addi-
tion to a strengthened Korean speaking ability, all of our students will have encoun-
tered obstacles that they had to face with courage while living in a foreign environ-
ment. We believe that we will meet again someday and feel grateful for every single
student on their last day of class. Even if it gets challenging at times, choosing to
study a foreign language in a new environment will surely give you a great opportu-
nity for experience you cat’t find anywhere else.
If you are still trying to decide whether to study in Korea, don't hesitate and chal-
lenge yourself! Even if you are a beginner and you have never studied abroad, Rolling
Korea is always doing its best to provide a satisfying study experience in Korea.
Rolling Korea staff and teachers are looking forward to seeing you soon.
“ On the first day, there was a level test to know where I was in terms of my Korean language
skills. It lasted about 5 minutes per student. There were students who took it with a friend but
also many students who took it by themselves just like me. I was very nervous at first but the
teacher was very gentle and kind with me so I could feel at ease. I think I only did well on the
speaking test. In my class, I was very grateful to learn not only the grammar in textbooks but
also fun expressions and trends that are actually used in daily life. The Americano at the R
Cafe was great and it was much cheaper than other cafes in the area. I highly recommend it.
There are many programs every week, and I think it is good to actively participate. It's a
chance to become closer with your teacher and make friends from other classes. It was fun to
talk about things that we weren't able to talk about in class.
Students studying for 1 or 2 weeks didn't use a textbook but for those studying for at least 3
weeks like myself, bought both the textbook and the workbook. I was just happy because I
wanted to have a textbook.
If you are trying to decide about coming to Korea to study, I think you'd better try! I, at first,
was hesitant as well but ended up deciding to study abroad for 8 months. It was such a great
decision. The teachers at Rolling Korea are really great and the school is close to the metro.
Another great fact is that it's in Hongdae where there is a lot a enjoy! :)
