With the continuous development of economy, more and more students apply to study in Korea, and studying in Korea also requires certain language conditions. So what language level do you need to study in Korea in 2023? Interested friends just follow me to have a look!

What kind of language level introduction is needed to study in Korea in 2023?

0 1, Korean Language School

The first is the most basic Korean school, which is somewhat similar to the language classes for international students. It is a language education institution established by Korean universities for international students. Language school entrance does not require language scores, and Korean can be accepted with zero foundation.

Language schools not only teach you Korean, but also teach you some Korean culture courses. The language environment is much better than that in China, which is more conducive to students' understanding of their favorite institutions.

Generally, you can reach the level of intermediate level 4 in one year.

However, now more and more students will learn some basic Korean in China before going to the Language Institute, such as pronunciation, writing and some daily spoken English.

I have a certain understanding of Korean in China, and I can adapt to life and study faster and better after I arrive in Korea.

02, apply for Korean undergraduate course.

To apply for a Korean undergraduate school, you need to have a language level of Topik3.

If you study in a language school, it won't be too difficult to reach Topik3 as long as you study hard.

Topic 3 Level 3 and Level 4 are intermediate. If you have the ability to reach Band 4, the admission rate will be greatly improved.

Of course, the school does not just look at a Topik grade certificate to judge whether it is accepted or not. Your English level and other experiences are also important factors.

03. Apply for a master's degree in Korea.

When applying for admission to master's degree programs, most schools require Topik4 or above to apply for admission, and some schools even require Topik5 or above to apply for popular majors. Some schools will set different language achievement requirements according to different subjects, but the higher the Korean achievement, the better. The higher the level of Korean, the more scholarships you can get (to tell you quietly, there are many kinds of scholarships in Korean universities).

Once you have a plan to study in Korea, friends must evaluate their specific conditions and conditions in advance, choose the school and major that suits them best, and maximize the success rate of application.

For students who want to apply for studying in Korea, Korean learning is imminent. Besides studying in Korean Language Institute, you can also study Korean at home, which can not only greatly reduce the accommodation and living expenses in Korea, but also adapt to life in Korea more quickly. Compared with Japanese and Korean teaching methods in Japanese language schools, learning Korean in China will be easier to adapt.

Tips for studying in Korea, common sense of life

1 climate

South Korea is located in the mid-latitude zone, with a temperate monsoon climate and four distinct seasons. Winter is cold and dry, summer is hot and humid, and spring and autumn are dry and sunny. The weather is hottest from July to September every year, and it is coldest from 165438+ 10 to February of the following year.

2. Price

South Korea's economy is developing rapidly, and prices are still relatively high at home, especially the prices of agricultural and sideline products are several times higher than at home. Due to import tax, consumption tax and other reasons, international brands have many advantages over domestic brands.

3. Part-time job

Although the price in Korea is more expensive than that in China, students should not be discouraged. Don't worry too much about economic pressure, because the consumption level is directly proportional to the per capita income, so the salary in South Korea is very optimistic.

Students can find a suitable part-time job to earn living expenses without affecting their studies. According to the data released by the Korean Ministry of Labor in 2020, the national minimum hourly wage is 8,590 won (equivalent to RMB about 54 yuan), and the minimum hourly wage will increase every year!

However, students must pay attention to one thing. When we are working, we must apply for legal employment qualifications. The Korean Ministry of Justice stipulates that international students can only apply for legal employment after going to Korea for six months, and the legal working hours per week are also stipulated.

I want to remind you that part-time jobs must be done in your spare time. Don't let part-time jobs affect your studies. If you work too much, you will fail the exam and study again. If it is serious, it will affect your visa extension.

For example. Suppose Zhao works part-time in a coffee shop for two days every weekend, then he can earn about 687,200 won (about 4,300 yuan) a month. Isn't that great?

Step 4 prescribe diet

Korean food culture and eating habits are very different from our food in China. Korean food is usually light and oily, but most dishes are seasoned with Chili sauce. Many foreign students who have just arrived in Korea may not be used to it. Now more and more China people have settled in South Korea, and Chinese restaurants are everywhere. When you miss Chinese food, you can have a full meal in China restaurant!

Step 5 transport

The main modes of transportation in Korea are bus, subway and taxi. South Korea's bus lines and relatively mature subway network make it very convenient for citizens to travel.

The initial price of subway and bus in South Korea is 1250 won (about RMB 7 yuan), which will increase according to the mileage. You can go to any convenience store or subway station in Korea to buy a T-Money card (Korean mass transit card). This card is very convenient. You can use it by subway, bus or taxi! You can also shop in convenience stores ~ it should be noted that if you take the subway or bus, it is free to transfer to the bus or subway within 30 minutes after getting off ~

There are two types of taxis in Korea. The black one is a model taxi, which is more expensive than ordinary taxis. Both orange and silver taxis are ordinary taxis, and the prices are relatively cheaper.

6. Rules

Korea has been deeply influenced by Confucian culture in China since ancient times, and it has also deeply influenced Korean etiquette culture until modern society. When you meet a professor or senior in Korea, you need to bow and greet. When communicating with professors or seniors, remember not to use unnecessary honorifics! This is the most basic etiquette!

Use honorifics for strangers you meet for the first time. Koreans usually ask each other's age when they meet for the first time to judge whether they are older than me, and then decide whether to use honorifics. Although it seems impolite in China, maybe this is the cultural difference!

7. Public safety

Generally speaking, the public security in South Korea is excellent, but just in case, please keep in mind South Korea's alarm telephone number 1 12, emergency telephone number1/9, the foreigner service hotline of the Ministry of Justice 1345, and the consular protection and assistance telephone number of the China Embassy in South Korea 02-755. After all, it is deep abroad.

At the same time, students should pay attention to properly protect their passports and login cards. Login cards in Korea are equivalent to foreigners' ID cards, so they must be carefully kept to prevent personal information from flowing into the hands of criminals.

Because of the religious liberalization in Korea, there are all kinds of evils and religions in Korea. Students with religious beliefs, remember to keep your eyes open and avoid joining cult organizations, and then it will be difficult to get out.
