The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles and King Sejong Institute Center U.S.A. will launch a new 12-week semester of online and in-person Korean language classes beginning on Sept. 14.

Nine classes in seven levels will be offered for the online and in-person classes. They include classes in introductory, basic, intermediate and advanced Korean language.

In-person classes will be held on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. from Sept. 14 through Nov. 30. A maximum of 10 students will be enrolled to ensure physical distancing and a low student-to-instructor ratio. Each student must present proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

Online classes will be held on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. from Sept. 16 through Dec. 2. Online classes will be capped at 30 students.

KCCLA has also announced that a free online Korean language level test is available by visiting nuri.iksi.or.kr/front/page/participation/onlineLevelTest/main.do. Prospective participants may only register for one level, and transfers between levels will not be permitted.

The program is open to students who are 18 or older. For information, call (323)936-3025, or visit kccla.org/koreanlanguageprogram.
