Introduction:

The Korean language has been included as a foreign language at the secondary level in the New Education Policy 2020 by the Government of India. From establishing formal diplomatic ties between both the countries since 1973 there have been many trade agreements amongst them. When it comes to investment in India, South Korea is at the fifth position. These reasons are good enough to understand how learning Korean can help us.

For career growth or to enjoy K-pop or Kdrama which has gained immense popularity these days, learning Korean can be helpful in many ways.

 

Before we know how much it would actually cost to learn the Korean language in India, it is important to understand various factors like your level of understanding Korean, what level of learning you are planning to achieve, and the duration, of course, would all play an important role in deciding the fee amount.

Whether you are learning in a group or individually would also make a lot of difference in the fee amount. Even for group study the number of participants in a group could also be a deciding factor. However, the fee can vary anywhere from ₹4000 to ₹10000 approximately.

Along with the duration, the fee would also vary depending on whether you would like to join a diploma course, certification course, undergraduate course, or a course offered online that can range from a few weeks to a few months.

Renowned universities like Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi University, Manipur University, Bengaluru Central University, Banaras Hindu University are some of the universities that are offering courses in the Korean language. The fee varies from one university to another depending on the course chosen.  

If you are a working professional or a student pursuing another degree but would like to learn the Korean language to get an edge over others, studying at one of these universities may not be an option due to the time constraint.

There are many online Korean courses offered these days that can help you learn from the comfort of your own space. You can choose to join any of these online classes and give wings to your dream of learning Korean.

It is important to choose a course that helps you learn decent Korean which allows you to hold a simple conversation in a short span of time. Also, finding a teacher who can help you learn exactly what you need is important as you might want to start with the alphabet Hangul which is relatively easier to learn because it is not something that has evolved over time but was purposefully designed under the rule of King Sejong to make it perfectly fit the speech of the language or just learn how to speak and skip the writing part for the time being.

Studying a foreign language has its own benefits both personally and professionally. If you choose Korean which is not yet a favored language by many you can just stay ahead of the competition and create a path for a successful career  

With many companies investing in India and establishing their offices, learning Korean can definitely open doors to some great career options. Thus, find a course that suits your pocket and learning needs.
