I hope this is a helpful Q&A for you all! 🥰 Please let me know if you have any other questions either here or on my Instagram and I'll try to give you a good answer~~~ 💕Also please let me know if you'd like more videos like this/videos about my time as a student/on a Working Holiday visa! ✨
I would love to see more on this topic as I will be going next march! A quick question as each level is in 2 parts, in one term do you cover both parts and finish one whole level per term (in 10 weeks)? Thank you
I'm planning to go for the summer, a little nervous to travel alone but I've been looking forward tot his for a while and have been wanting to improve my speaking more than anything. I was deciding between Yonsei's and Sogang's but this has me leaning towards Sogang 😅
Hi am from UK and I plan to go in 2022 if the corona virus situation has settled. Thank you for making this video its helpful to me as im researching about going. I was wondering did you have to get Health Insurance? and could you do it through the university and how much did it cost?
Hi there! Ahh fingers crossed everything gets better soon and we can all pursue our dreams asap! You're so welcome~ I'm so happy to hear it was helpful! 💕 In terms of health insurance, I was lucky enough that I was offered free health insurance through my university with AIG. They were really great (I actually had an operation while in Korea) so I recommend checking them out! Depending on how long you're going and whether you plan to travel a bit while you're out there, travel insurance that covers medical could also be something to look into? I'm so sorry I can't be more helpful/specific with this! 😭 But I wish you all the best~~~~ and please let me know if you have any other questions! :D
I am trying to decide between Yonsei and Sogang and i think i want to go for Sogang, but the thing that puts me off is that like you, i love my sleep... and so i really want to do the afternoon course. And i know that you said there is the KAP program, but since i am not planning to study later on, would this class be ill-fitted for my purpose, do you think? I just want to learn conversational Korean and be able to understand films/tv better... :D
In that case I think the KAP would be perfect for you 👌 there are 6 levels so you can study up until the point you want and you'll definitely improve super quickly! ☺️
HI ! these 2 videos were SUPER helpful! - quick question : did you get a sense from talking to other students if the KGP vs KAP really do have a different "feel" or significant difference
As far as i've heard, the KAP is for academic, that if you want to study a program later at their Uni then you choose that, otherwise the other one. I also thought about taking the afternoon one, But, I dont plan to study a program there lateron
Hi! The lady I rented from is unfortunately no longer renting on Airbnb but if you just check out Airbnb and put your location preferences you should be able to find some places you like. Then you can try messaging the hosts to see if they would be willing to rent to you longterm! ✨
When do we need to send our application? For example if I want to go there in September 2022, when do I need to make my “application” ? And if I am doing a bachelor, can I “stop” it one year and continue after ?
Hi Johan here. Im a korean adoptee and im planing to Sogang in KLEC. I want to study all 6 terms for all 6 levels. I saw sogangs KLEC year program. I saw they where differnet application peroids for spring fall summer and winter. If i apply for summer. Do I automattixally get to study all 6 terms and start in august?
Hi, just stumbled upon your video because i'm planning to get into the program next year and all your advice is super helpful. thank you! oh, can i ask, how did you go about the character reference from a korean national? what if you don't know any business owner who can vouch for you?
Thank you for your really helpful videos about Sogang and KLEC. I am an older student and just wondering if there were many mature students at the KLEC?
Hi Hana, I know this video is 3 yrs old now, and also asks the same question at your older video, I am just wondering with regards to the levels, do you complete one level at a time? So only studying only one level for 10-weeks? Can you do possible do Level 1&2 or Levels 1-3 in 10-weeks or in one semester? How could I potentially skip Level 1 since I feel like it would be a very slow Level?
Hi... My name is Laura, I'm from Venezuela. I'm planning to do the KGP200 program at Sogang in 2022 but i have some "problems" i actually have some health conditions (Hyperthyroidism and Hypertension) and I'm worried for my health. I want to know if they will support me if I feel bad.. ? 😔 With insurance or medical attention ? (Sorry for my broken english, but english is not my first language) .
hiiii :) I am planning on going to Sogang College of Media, arts and Science. Do you happen to know ayone majoring at Global Korean Studies there by chance?
Hey Schylar .. Do you also need to get a Korean Citizen to Sign a personal guarantee form? .. If so .. who did you get it signed by if you didn't know anyone in Korea ? ...
@@eshandutt177 the school I’m applying to acts as the guarantee. After they send out the acceptance letter, you’re able to use that as proof for your visa. I don’t know about not going through school though
@@schylar_nicole Okay .. I understand .. So the schools' letter will act as the guarantor .. I needed to know that .. Thank you so much .. Really appreciate it ..
Due to the coronavirus, are the classes of the korean language program online or they are still on face-to-face ? I couldn't find the info on their website
As far as I'm aware, the classes are currently online! I can see them being online at least until the Autumn since I heard that's when the government want to have had most of the population vaccinated 🤗
@@hanappoi Oh wow okay. I was gonna apply for summer and fall semester, but knowing that it's online makes me hesitate. I guess the language learning experience will not be as great as in face-to-face.. Thank you for having answered my question ! Hope you can get there again soon
You mentioned you had a student loan, I’m thinking of applying for one semester only but I’m not sure how loans would work as it’s something abroad, could you tell me more about the student loan you used ?
Hi! The student loan I had was through the UK government as part of my general student loan for my time at university. I'm not too sure about other loans, though - I'm so sorry I can't be more helpful! 😥
Hi! I have a quick question and I hope you’re able to help me 🤗 I just left Seoul a few months ago after my contract ended to spend time with my family. I’ll be moving back to Seoul in February 2022 on an E2 visa to continue my teachings. I really want to make Korean my second language because I have aspirations to become an entrepreneur someday. So my question is can I enroll into the language program while being on an E2 visa? If so I’ll be attending the 9 am - 1pm session because I’ll be teaching elementary students from 3-10pm (crazy I know). I hope you can help me find my answer if not thank you so much for your time! And keep up the good work with your videos ❤️
Hi! Aww I hope you had a lovely time with your family 💕 as far as I'm aware, you can take classes as long as you don't enrol in a full length program at a university - so I think a language class should be fine since they do it term by term? I would definitely clarify this with the embassy you get your visa from/your school, though, just in case! I hope this is helpful? ☺️ Aw thank you so much for watching~~~~~ 🥺💖 Take care~~~~ 🥰
@@hanappoi Thank you so much for answering my question! I doubled check the website and you’re right if I’m on another visa that’s not a D-4 it’s totally fine to take the course as normal 🤗 I’ll most likely be burnt out with teaching and studying at the same time but it will be totally worth it I hope 😂
i am so confused, the system is totally different here... what are these levels?? can i do all 4 years? i am sorry, but i am literally so lost lol- i am about to graduate from high school , so i was thinking about sogang
thank u for this 🥺 i have a question, so i’m planning on going 2022 fall, but i’m graduating in 2022 spring from high school (vocational school in fact), and i know that the application starts early in 2022, but i might have not graduated yet, so do u know is there and ”expected grades” option, or should i just go talk to my study supervisor so that i could maybe get my certificate as soon as possible ?
Helloooo! Omg no, thank you for watching! Hmmm I would definitely recommend trying to get your certificate asap and also maybe get into contact with the KLEC and ask what their advice would be! They're so lovely there and they can answer your questions more specifically! If you check their website (klec.sogang.ac.kr/?url=&lang=eng) they have a list of email addresses at the bottom of the page depending on your country so I recommend sending them a message! I hope this was helpful???? 💖
I really want to go to this years summer program but are they even accepting students this year? Is it possible to get a student visa ... Otherwise i’ll study 2 or 3 semesters in 2022 which will be fun also but a loooong time to go :(
I think they are still accepting students but! All the classes will be online for the foreseeable future which may have an effect on your decision? It might be better to wait for 2022 because then the classes might be in person again and you can really enjoy your time in Korea! 🥳 Also something important to look into: Korea has banned entry from some countries (like the UK and South Africa) and depending on the situation when you apply, you should make sure Korea is accepting flights from your country! I hope this is all helpful? 💖
Hey! As far as I know, I don't think that's a requirement...? My degree was in English and it seemed to be fine but ofc I can't confirm for French, I'm sorry! 😭
Thanks for the video! Have a quick question which I'm hoping you can assist. You mentioned people could do one semester and then work in Korea to save money or do part time jobs while studying the language program, which visa is this referring to? With the D4 visa, I think it would not allow us to work for the first 6 months.. :(
Hi there! You're so welcome! Oh hmmmm...! I was on a D2 visa so I'm not too sure about the limits of a D4 visa... but I'm pretty sure even people on D4 visas found work like waiting tables/at cafes etc. so while I definitely don't encourage it I think some employers aren't too fussy about visas 😅

Hey! I would love do but unfortunately the listing is no longer up since the landlady has moved back to the states permanently 😭 but there are lots of similar listings, it might just take a while to message them and ask them if they would be interested in a longterm deal!
As far as I'm aware, you only receive a diploma if you finish all 6 terms/complete level 6. However, each level corresponds to a TOPIK level so you could take the equivalent TOPIK level exam if you'd like to get a certificate!
I'm planning to go for the summer, a little nervous to travel alone but I've been looking forward tot his for a while and have been wanting to improve my speaking more than anything. I was deciding between Yonsei's and Sogang's but this has me leaning towards Sogang 😅

In a totally non creepy way lol I just checked out your channel and 1. omg I love your ATEEZ videos! and 2. it would be so great to see your journey to Korea/see what you get up to there so you already have audience member one if you decide to do some vlogging there!

When it comes to a student visa, how do I get a recommendation/sponsorship from someone in Korea if I don't know anybody in Korea yet?
I could be wrong about this but I'm pretty certain that the language school/university you choose to attend will be your sponsor! 🤗
