I took eight credits worth of Intermediate Korean in Cheongju, South Korea at Chungbuk National University, which consisted of three hours of language instruction every weekday taught completely in Korean. The program covered two semesters of Korean in two months, providing the opportunity to quickly increase my levels in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I also had a culture class every Thursday in which the other participants and I tried an activity related to Korean culture, including Hanbok, K-Pop, Taekwondo, and more.
