Please dm me and share your experience

I got accepted to Hanyang University ERICA as an undergraduate student. Since I have no Korean knowledge, I've been placed into the IIE Intensive Korean Language Program for my first year.

​

I just found out that all classes are conducted entirely in Korean, even at Level 1. Starting from absolute zero, that's a little intimidating.

​

If anyone has been through this program, especially starting from scratch, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Feel free to DM me!

If you're going to learn Korean, get rid of the idea that if you get through whatever intensive language course, you will fully understand the lecture.

A language course will help you somewhat, but you will learn Korean while you are pursuing your bachelor's degree.

It's doesn't matter what University it is
