COVID UPDATE: As a result of the global pandemic, most classes will be held online via Zoom. We are now accepted students throughout the country on a first come, first serve basis. Our classes are dynamic LIVE CLASS – this is not a self-study course nor is it module based learning. Our interactive classes are designed for adult learners (16 yrs+).
We offer the only comprehensive Korean language program in Orange County. Our highly acclaimed adult Korean language program is now a King Sejong Institute designated by the S. Korean government. Check us out in the OC Register , LA Times, and NBC News just to name a few.
Irvine King Sejong Institute
In 2018, Korean American Center was selected by the South Korean government to establish a King Sejong Institute in Irvine. Under South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, the King Sejong Institute Foundation (KSIF) serves adult learners and educators in 57 countries by providing operational support, standardized curriculum and materials, scholarship opportunities for students, and professional development support for teachers. The Korean American Center is one of nine sites designated in the United States as an official King Sejong Institute. For more information about King Sejong Institute, click here.

ABOUT OUR KOREAN LANGUAGE CLASSES:
The Irvine King Sejong Institute at the Korean American Center is proud to have created cost effective high quality Korean language classes for the entire community.
We are the only institute in Orange County whose sole focus is Korean language. Our instructors come from some of Korea’s most prestigious universities. For information about our Youth Korean Language Classes, please click here.
We offer various level classes suited for adult learners ranging from those with no previous experience, to those with significant experience, to those with a Korean heritage background. Because we care about sharing the Korean language, we provide our students with additional study tools and resources to help in their journey.

Most of our classes are $239 for the entire session + $10 material fees and due prior to the beginning of each class. Fees are non-refundable (except class cancellation by KAC) and can not be transferred or postponed to another term. Fees do not include books, which may be purchased through KAC or on your own.

We can only accept a limited number of students per each class. Once the maximum number has been reach, registration will be closed. You may then choose to be added to the waitlist for next session. Students must reregister every semester.
