ASEAN Language Courses Opening for Second Half of 2021

From September 6 through December 1, the ASEAN Culture House will be holding its ASEAN language courses for second half of 2021. A total of 13 courses (beginner and intermediate) will be offered in five ASEAN languages: Cambodian, the Myanmar language, Malay Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese. Courses are open to anyone age 12 or older who is interested in ASEAN languages, and will be held once per week over a period of 12 weeks, except for the Vietnamese beginner course, which will be held on a trial basis twice per week over six weeks. Expectations are especially high for the Cambodian beginner course, which, along with the Myanmar language course, will be conducted by a native speaker instructor. Students who have an attendance record of 80 percent or higher will be given a certificate as well as a small souvenir. All courses will be held in strict adherence with the Korean government’s sanitation guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Further information about course registration and content is available at the ACH website(www.ach.or.kr ).
