The college's Korean language courses continue to be popular. Learning and teaching languages ​​has always been important to Heeyoung.

Heeyoung, a native Korean speaker, has lived in Helsinki since 2005 and worked in the logistics industry for 9 years.

– My Finnish nickname is “Hiisku”. My former coworker gave me the name because it is easy to pronounce and sounds familiar to Finns, Heeyoung laughs.

Heeyoung holds a Bachelor of Philosophy degree from Hongik University in Seoul, majoring in French language and literature. She also holds a professional degree in business interpreting from the Tampere Adult Education Center. Heeyoung has taught multilingual children and young people of Korean background living in Finland at the Korean Language School and has volunteered as a principal and teacher for 10 years.

– I want to help my students find enthusiasm for the Korean language and culture. The institute's beginner course studies the Korean Hangeul alphabet, syllable construction and pronunciation. There are also advanced courses available for those who have studied for longer. The courses introduce you to tourist destinations, food and, of course, the entertainment culture that is super popular around the world. See you at the course!

Study together!
