Taking Korean lessons in Melbourne can help improve your job opportunities with Korean companies in the city while also giving you an insight into the current rise of Korean pop culture, more commonly known as K-Pop, which is currently dominating the Western mainstream media. Our flexible Korean lessons at Language Trainers are designed to fit in with your life and offer a fun and friendly way to learn a second language at your own time and pace.

Why Study Korean in Melbourne

Learn Korean for Work: According to the 2011 Census by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, there are more than 17,000 Koreans living in Greater Melbourne with over 3,000 living in the city itself, meaning there is a growing Korean market in the area. As a result, learning Korean will give you the opportunity to work for the many Korean companies in the city who are always looking for bilingual speakers, such as KOTRA Melbourne, Nutribiotech, JOO MAK and even Korean film production companies. Aside from Korean companies in the city, there are several local firms who service international markets who are always on the lookout for bilingual speakers in customer support and interpreter roles.

If you want to know more about Korean business networking to improve your opportunities, the Australia-Korea Business Council (AKBC) has offices in Melbourne and is a fantastic resource for Korean speaking job seekers. And if you are more interested in going abroad to teach English in South Korea, (a popular career choice for people looking to get experience working abroad), taking some classes with Language Trainers will be useful. Even though knowing Korean is not necessary to be hired as an ESL teacher, having a basic knowledge of the language will help you get by in South Korea.

Learn Korean for Culture: Learning Korean can help you to enjoy and explore the growing trends in Korean culture that are currently taking the world by storm. If you want to experience Korean K-Pop events in Melbourne, the ‘K-Pop Night’ company organise regular K-Pop and Cosplay events in Melbourne every month. You can sing along to these Korean songs and practise what you learn with Language Trainers! If you are more interested in cinema, the Korean Film Festival of Australia was founded in August 2011 and makes a weeklong stop in Melbourne every year to showcase edgy new Korean movies, making it the perfect place to test your current Korean language comprehension skills.

Although Korean pop culture is the nation’s largest export right now, exploring Korean cuisine is also a direct line to understanding the nation and its people. You can try out some of your Korean skills or just listen to the native speakers in one of the most popular Korean restaurants in Melbourne such as the Yeonga Korean BBQ Restaurant on Cobden Street, Hwaro Korean BBQ Restaurant on Little Bourke Street, or ChangGo Korean BBQ on Little La Trobe Street.

Learn Korean for Social: There is a growing network of Korean speaking social groups in Melbourne that you can join to meet both fluent Korean speakers and students of the language. The Korean English Language Exchange was formed in June 2019, has over 100 members, and is a great place to mingle and chat with likeminded people. The “Let’s Eat Korean Food” group is a very unpretentious group that meets in Melbourne to visit local Korean restaurants while getting a better understanding of the language. The Melbourne Korean Meetup group also holds monthly meetings where you can learn and practise Korean phrases in a very informal setting.

Where to Learn Korean in Melbourne

Taking Korean courses in Melbourne with Language Trainers will simplify your learning experience. Our language packages are tailored to your specific needs, and with our friendly Korean tutors on hand to meet you at your home, at your place of work or any other destination in the city that fits in with your lifestyle, you are in total control. Meeting our instructor and learning the language in a Korean cafe in Melbourne might be a great way to merge fun and practicality. Some of the most popular Korean cafes in Melbourne are Dari Korean Cafe and Bar on Hardware Lane, the Oppa Kitchen on Swanston Street, and Dosirock on King Street. If you prefer a quieter place to learn Korean, we would suggest meeting at public libraries such as the State Library Victoria, the City Library, or the Melbourne Athenaeum Library on Collins Street.

Do you want to learn Korean but live outside Melbourne in one of the city’s surrounding areas or another place in Victoria? Don’t worry, because we have language tutors ready and waiting to meet you at your place of choice in Geelong, St. Kilda, Seaholme and Spotswood. Just let us know where you are and we will come to you!
