The Korea Times has launched free online Korean courses for foreigners living here. The service targets people looking for jobs at Korean companies’ overseas offices and migrants who came to Korea for marriage reasons.

Korea Language Online Courses are available at

ktband.co.kr

in English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Vietnamese. The courses are available 24/7 on desktops and mobile devices.

Those interested can visit Danuri website at

liveinkorea.kr

and check ID and password.

The courses’ ultimate goal is to help learners have comfortable conversations with Koreans. Those who take regular courses can also prepare for the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) because the courses offer high-quality lectures.
