Neighboring countries to Taiwan such as South Korea offer advantages like easy access to information and shorter travel distances. For years, there has been frequent cultural exchange through idol dramas, music, celebrities, cuisine, and culture, greatly boosting the study abroad market. In recent years, the rising “Korea craze” has captured the hearts of many young women with Korea’s “oppas,” making learning Korean and studying abroad in Korea an emerging trend in recent years.

As Korean is not as similar to Taiwanese languages as Japanese is, most students who want to learn Korean choose to start with language centers. Most Korean language schools are attached to universities, with fewer private language institutes, making the options relatively straightforward. Moreover, most are concentrated in the capital, Seoul.The most popular universities include Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Ewha Womans University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Dankook University.These schools offer regular language courses each quarter, as well as intensive or summer programs during winter and summer breaks.
 
If you want to rapidly improve your Korean skills, consider finding a language exchange partner locally. As more Koreans are learning Chinese, teaching Chinese can be a great way to enhance your conversational Korean. So it's worth checking the notice boards at your school’s language center in addition to attending classes.

Additionally, South Korea, like Japan, has a working holiday agreement with Taiwan, allowingstudents aged 18 to 30 to apply for a visa thatpermits stays of up to one year for activities such as studying abroad, working, and traveling. However, because the Korean language is quite different from Taiwanese languages, students interested in the program are advised to first learn basic Korean. Once they are confident in simple conversations and daily life communication, they can then begin their working holiday experience.

Besides language study, each school in Korea also offers cultural workshops and field trips. In addition, some schools design courses for different types of students at various times and arrange Korean cultural experiences for international students—such as Korean cooking classes or Taekwondo lessons. However, placement into these courses is based on a Korean language proficiency test taken before the program begins.
Through these language and skill-learning opportunities, you can fully immerse yourself in a different culture and further enrich yourself.For more related information and programs, search for “StudyAbroad eZhitong” on the App Store..
