My Friends

UK-Korea Education Hub – My wife is from South Korea and so I have an active interest in all things Korean, spending as much time as possible out there (it’s a really amazing country!). If you enjoy Korean cuisine, music, film or drama why don’t you consider learning the language from superb language teacher Miseon Kim, and understand more about this wonderful country, its culture, and its people.
