Are you one of the many adoptees in NYC interested in learning Korean but not sure where to go?
Also-Known-As, Inc. is excited to announce that the Korean Education Center of the Korean Consulate General of NY will be offering Korean language classes for beginners starting November 4, 2010!

The Korean Education Center is sponsoring Korean Language Classes for Adoptees at the special rate of $100 for 12 classes.

The classes will be taught by Ji-Young Jung. She received a doctorate in Applied Linguistics from Teachers College, Columbia University. She has taught Korean, ESL (English as a Second Language) and French to students of all ages in a variety of educational settings. As a native speaker of Korean, Ji-Young has personally found teaching her mother tongue fascinating and rewarding. She derives great satisfaction in helping her students gain an understanding of and appreciation for the beliefs and values held by Korean people and expressed in the Korean language. She says, I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to help members of Also-Known-As, Inc. experience Korean culture and language, and I am happy to be a cultural interpreter for them.

Class Structure and Information:
Classes will cover reading, writing, listening, conversation and grammar in a fun and dynamic environment. Korean language teaching materials will include textbook, practice worksheets, grammar guides, vocabulary lists, and clips from contemporary Korean media.
