San Francisco is a thriving city rich in cultures and languages, and one of them is Korean. Did you know that, according to the 2011 census, almost 1.5% of the population in San Francisco speak Korean, and that most of them only speak their native language? Taking Korean lessons, then, will allow you to connect with this community on a whole new level, make the most out of your future trips to Korea, and even help you get a new bilingual job. Get in touch with Language Trainers today so we can offer you a language course suitable to your needs and schedule!

Why Study Korean in San Francisco

Learn Korean for Work: Learning Korean will bring you boundless professional opportunities in the city. If you would like to network with businesses of Korean origin, you should contact the Korean-American Chamber of Commerce USA, an economic association which represents 1.5 million businesspeople of Korean origin. It aims to protect their interests and unify Koreans living in the United States. Their website is written entirely in Korean with an English translation, which we are sure you will not need after taking some lessons with us! Also, if you are looking for a new job, you will be glad to know that many companies, like Hallmark Aviation, Stone Korean Kitchen, and even giants like Samsung and Hyundai, have offices in San Francisco and are looking to hire bilingual employees. Learning Korean, then, will truly set you apart from other candidates who only speak English!

Learn Korean for Culture: Those who love the Korean culture can attend the many events organized by the Korean Center on Graham Street, an institution that, since 1974, has been hosting concerts, martial arts demonstrations, and food fairs to promote the Korean culture in San Francisco. The Korean Center offers a variety of educational classes and cultural workshops and events for youth, adults, and seniors throughout the year. Those events include family-friendly activities, such as Korean games, so this is an excellent chance to have fun with your children while putting your Korean skills into practice! Another instance where you can truly experience the fascinating Korean culture is the annual Bay Area Korean Chuseok Festival that started in 2019! It aims to celebrate, showcase, and promote the Korean Chuseok (Harvest) culture, cuisine, and art.

Learn Korean for Social: You can also practice your Korean in a social context by joining the San Francisco Korean Language & Culture Meetup. Its more than 1,200 members get together to practice conversation in Korean every Wednesday while making new friends. They accept members of all levels, so don’t be shy to show off what you studied with Language Trainers! After the meeting, why not go to one of the many Korean restaurants in the city? For example, you can go to Han II Kwan on Balboa Street, where you can sample banchan, bulgogi, and other Korean specialties. Their website and menu are entirely in Korean, so it is a great opportunity to see how much vocabulary you have learned in your lessons with us!
