Why Study Korean in Edmonton

Learn Korean for Work: Learning Korean will certainly help you advance in your career in Edmonton. The ties between Korea and the province of Alberta are strong, with exports valued at $572.7 million between Alberta and South Korea in 2020. Edmonton, in particular, exports wood pulp, machinery and equipment valued at $800 million, so if you work in one of these fields, learning Korean will boost your employability. Also, there are many companies around the city that are always looking for Korean-fluent speakers to hire, like Korean Air, KPGM and CDS. And if you would like to connect with businesses of Korean origin but are not sure where to start, you should contact the Canada Korea Business Association. Even though its offices are not based in the city, this organization hosts events all year long, many of them in Edmonton. For example, there is a Christmas lunch every December, where you can meet CEOs and entrepreneurs of Korean origin. Impress with the language skills you acquire with us at Language Trainers and start a long-term partnership with them!

Learn Korean for Culture: You will also find many instances to experience Korean culture around Edmonton. For example, you can take part in the Spring Festival every March, defined by stalls full of Korean food and products, traditional music and even a parade. And you can also join in some of the events organized by the Edmonton Korean Canadian Association on 105 Street, an institution that, since 1972, has been promoting a cultural exchange between Canada and Korea by means of arranging and hosting events and festivals. Their web page is entirely in Korean, so use it to improve your reading skills after taking a language course with us!

Learn Korean for Social: If you would like to develop your social skills and your Korean at the same time, you can join the Polyglot Social Club, a language exchange group of people who get together to speak in different languages, including Korean. If you would like to practise your new language skills while playing games and hanging out in a relaxed setting, this is the group for you. They are really friendly, so we are sure you won’t feel self-conscious, even if you are still a beginner. Most of these meetings take place at themed restaurants, such as Daore on 34 Avenue, where you can sample traditional dishes like bulgogi or kimchi. Impress your new friends and the personnel with your flawless language skills!
