인사말 / Greetings
안녕하십니까? Hello!
My name is Yunah Lim, the principal of the Edmonton Korean Language School.
Looking back on the past six years as a parent and the following seven years as a teacher at this school, I’ve experienced many precious and grateful moments. Watching my children and our students learn and grow in their Korean language skills has filled me with pride and a sense of fulfillment as a member of the Korean language school. Now, I would like to return the gratitude I have received to the students and parents of the Edmonton Korean Language School.
Founded in 1979, the Edmonton Korean Language School is focused on teaching the proud Korean alphabet, culture, history, and identity. We will continue to work hard so that students can have fun learning Korean while building a healthy sense of identity. In today’s world, bilingual skills are essential for growing into the next generation of leaders. Through Korean language education, we will help our students grow into global citizens. Additionally, we are striving to promote Korean language and culture to other Canadians interested in Korea.
I would like to extend my deep gratitude to everyone in the local community who supports and helps the Edmonton Korean Language School, the assistant teachers, and the parents who send their loving support. Together with our passionate teachers, we will do our best to create a fun and exciting school—a school that students look forward to attending every Friday.
Thank you.

교육목표 / Our Educational Goals
Advance Use of the Korean Alphabet
The Korean alphabet (Hangul/한글) is a unique writing system with scientific origins. It is capable of easily expressing almost any sound or foreign language. We look to advance the knowledge of Hangul amongst all those who are interested.
Cherish Korean Heritage
Those born of Korean heritage do not need to overcome their origins, but rather, when there is a deep understanding and reflection on one's roots other cultures can be more easily accepted. By learning and using the Korean language, one will grow and develop a deep appreciation for their Korean heritage.
Develop Mutual Respect
Canada is a nation of immigrants comprised of a variety of cultures. We realize that differences are not a mistake but make us stronger. Mutual respect allows us all to develop into healthy, complete human beings.

Why Learn Korean?
Korean is the sixteenth most widely spoken language in the world, spoken by more than 78 million people worldwide.The number of Korean language learners has remarkably grown in the past several decades beyond the Korean peninsula and overseas Korean communities due partly to South Korea’s increasingly visible roles in world economy, technological innovations, and global popular culture.
Many English speakers may feel initially quite intimidated at the prospect of learning the Korean alphabet. However, due to the logical rule structure of the Korean language, learners will be surprised how quickly they will be able to read and write.
Learning another language can be a lot of work, but it is rewarding and opens your eyes to other cultures and people.
Adult Class - Level 1
Designed for learners with no previous experience with Korean, this class will teach the basics of Korean sentence structure using a variety of reading, writing and speaking exercises. Students will learn the basics of conversation and build confidence while learning to express themselves.
Adult Class – Level 2
Building on the foundations of Level 1, the Level 2 course assists students in furthering their knowledge of the Korean language by teaching additional grammar forms and promoting group conversation.
Adult Class – Level 3
Building on the concepts of Level 2, the Level 3 course focuses on natural everyday interactions, with a focus on refining and enhancing students' fluency in both spoken and written Korean.
