Hello!

My name is Yun Shim Kim and Byoung Taik Lim. We would like to be the first one to personally introduce and welcome you to the online Korean Language Institute at the University of Bridgeport . Hopefully, if you are taking the time to read this brief message, you are considering learning the Korean language on some level. Here at KLI, we realize that learning any language, especially a second language, can be very challenging and even intimidating for some. This is why we have put our greatest efforts to create a course that will intellectually stimulate you, while at the same time, motivate you along the way.

Speaking from our own personal experience of studying English(for Byoung Taik) and Korean(for Yun Shim), I have come to realize the importance of learning not only the language, but all aspects of a particular culture and customs of the people who speak it. This enables us to truly receive a well-rounded and comprehensive understanding of a people, their surrounding culture and of course their language. With this in mind, the creators of this online study course, have worked very hard to gather the most accurate, useful and up-to-date information and material which will maximize your experience of learning Korean. And thanks to the internet and today's advanced technology, we are able to constantly update and improve the course so that you, the student, will be receiving only the newest and highest quality educational materials. To top this off, students will be in contact with their personal Korean instructors via e-mail on a regular basis. This will allow them to answer any questions students may have and to monitor their progress constantly. It's as if you had your own personal tutorial sessions.

We here at KLI sincerely and truly hope that if you do choose to study Korean with us, that you will be able to not only learn, but also enjoy learning at the same time. From one Korean student to another, please study hard and learn a lot.
