Korean Language Classes Continue to Grow

Our weekly lunchtime Korean language classes have been steadily growing, with more students getting involved each week. It has been fantastic to see students developing their language skills while learning more about Korean culture.

Students interested in learning Korean are welcome to attend the classes held every Thursday lunchtime in C Block.

We also have some exciting Korean cultural events planned for the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for more information!
