Hanyang University has this intensive Korean course that is 10 weeks long and is M-F from 2-6pm. So I am in this small little classroom everyday! I do enjoy it for the most part, the class is divided up in 50 minute sections and we get a 10 minute break every hour. I have 13 people in the class, mostly consisting of Chinese students, one from England, and one from Vietnam. I am the only American in the class and only the student from England can speak English. It is a first to be in a classroom where Korean is the base language to be able to communicate, even amongst peers.
It’s pretty much your standard language class but jammed packed. Considering that Korean at U of O was everyday for 50 minutes long, you can think of one class as a weeks worth of learning. At UO we would learn a new grammar point and study it for a couple days with practice, but here we learn about 3-4 new grammar structures everyday and move on quickly. You are expected to do outside review and studying to stay on top of it, on top of the normal 4 pages of homework (with a writing short essay every time). It is pretty manageable and though the class time is pretty sucky since its in the middle of the day, you get accustomed to it.
The teachers are super nice and helpful, and we even have a Kakao chat room for our class that was made from day one. As for tests, we only have our midterm exam and final exam, but have four speeches from our essays dispersed throughout the semester. You need to buy your workbook, textbook, and homework book and bring them everyday (~ $30 for all). Class is all located in the International Building which is at the center of campus, and they have this Korean class available for all international students from levels 1-6.
