Adroit College

An nyeong ha se yo (.) — Hello
After taking 10 wks of Beginning Korean 1. I learned to write and read simple words and sentences. Teacher who teach this class is very nice, fun, patient and she has a lovely personality. Teacher teaches us to read, write and speak. I study from her notes, books and play games in the class with my classmates and that’s how it helps improve my korean language. I decided to register for the next quarter and i’m looking forward to her class soon :).
Min Yeong.
Gam sa ham ni da () — Thank you

An experiential learning environment where students practice dialogue, learn Korean culture, and develop reading/​writing skills. Their schedule caters to working professionals (ie evening classes) and you’ll see a range of motivations — everyone from folks who do business in Korea to those married to Korean spouses, to fans of Korean dramas and K-​pop. You’ll have a good time learning Hangul here with this eclectic mix of students and teachers.
I’ve only taken one class so far (with Hyewon) and she was excellent. Going above and beyond to bring in resources outside of the text book like restaurant menus and quizzes from other curriculums.
Most classes are less than 4 students, so you’ll get an intimate setting and lots of individual attention and help. I look forward to taking more classes here!

The best place to learn Korean. I tried the self teaching method by using online material, but things just didn’t stick with me. After searching around countless places, I found Adroit College. Starting with the Beginning 1 class, I was able to read, write, and put together simple sentences in a little over a month. The teacher is amazing, and makes learning very easy and fun at the same time. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning Korean to give this place a shot. I’m so satisfied with what I’ve learned from taking my first class here, I think I might just take all the courses and become fluent in Korean.

Best place to learn Korean in Bay Area. Besides of Korean speaking and studying, lots of Korean culture events are available to join. It’s nice to step away daily routine life and explore the new land.

Best Korean language class I’ve ever taken. I’ve had other, informal, kroean teachers before, but nothing really stuck and I always found the experience very frustrating. I felt I just wasn’t going to ever really get even the basics of Korean. Then I had a chance to take a class through Adroit. Dr. Koo is a wonderful teacher, she made it fun and easy to learn the basics of Korean. She is very patient and has a knack for breaking down things that can be hard for american ears to take in, in ways I could actually hear and repeat and comprehend. I only wish I had more time to continue! After having other teachers (who failed to teach me) in the past, it was a wonderful experience to learn Korean from Dr. Koo and through Adroit College.

This is a wonderful school to learn Korean. The instructors give very in depth instruction that makes it easy for anyone to learn. In addition, they also include some culture so you better understand the context behind the language. Students and instructors are very supportive and it really feels Luke a community with all the events they have. Really recommended no matter if you want to learn Korean door any reason.

Highly recommended to learn korean in Adroit college! I have attended 3 semesters here and learned a lot. Besides, all classmates are mostly young professionals, so it’s great to make friends with same interest here. The pace in beginner’s 101 and 102 class are slow. But expect a big jump in 103 class. After 103 class, i’m able to carry out a simple conversation with friends. The last class of each semester is to do a presentation in front of all students of all levels. It helps me to review what i learned and wrapped up in a short presentation. I also had chance to see how the advanced level are capable of. All teachers here are very good and patient.

I cannot recommend this Korean language school highly enough! The teachers are amazing and really know the best way to help adults learn a new language. Lots of fun events and activities are also included, so definitely sign up! Reasonable pricing too :)

I’ve just started taking classes here and can’t be more pleased with my choice. I literally looked them up hours before the start of the first class for Winter quarter, called and talked to Dr. Koo and sent in the registration form, and went to class that same evening! The Milpitas campus has the most students, my class has about 10 ppl, while the San Leandro and Palo Alto locations only have a few students each. For this reason, Milpitas campus gets a 3 hour class while the others only get 2. Dr. Koo is very talented as a teacher, she establishes rapport with the students very quickly and has lessons planned out to the last detail. Classes typically start with a short video on some aspect of Korean culture (ceremonies, arts, house architecture, etc), then proceed with learning words and pronunciation. This is one of the nights in my week that I look forward to the most, lots of fun and easy way to learn Korean.

i have been attending Adroit College for almost 3 months now and i absolutely love it. the first 3 meetings we had, i have learned how to read (tho not as fast yet and i still have to work on understanding what the words mean :)) and write the korean language. I’ve tried other ways of learning korean like learning it from Rosetta Stone but i didn’t really understand all of what i’ve learned until i enrolled in Adroit College. Dr. Koo makes it easy to undertand the lessons and she is very knowledgeable of what she teaches. She uses other methods like songs and rhymes to make it easy for us to understand the lessons. And her methods are very helpful in trying to learn the language. If you are looking for a place to learn Korean Language, I highly recommend Adroit Language.

I have taking Korean language classes for half a year at Adroit College, and having a great experience. I started from zero but now I am able to read write simple sentences, and very slowly but say some phrases in Korean. The Teachers are all professionals, and the curriculum is designed well for the non-​Koreans to learn in the pace. You can also learn Korean culture from the events. And also, meet new friends!

Great school, great teachers, and wonderful students. A great way to learn Korean and the beautiful culture. I love the way they expose you to the culture with different activities and themes and FOOD.

If anyone truly want to leann Korean, this is the place. Do not hesitate to give a call. Its a place for great learning and learning Korean with fun… They have classes for all age groups… Best of luck. I know, you will love it.

I have just started taking Beginners’ Korean with Dr. Koo at Adroit College. She has designed this class for working adults with an emphasis on doing most of the work during class. The class size is small guaranteeing individual attention from the teacher. She works hard to get everyone to participate, using songs and journal writing as a means of getting people to express themselves in a foreign language. She is a strong believer in using technology to speed the learning process, incorporating videos, websites and online tools into her classes. I am looking forward to taking the full sequence of classes and eventually becoming proficient in Korean.

Adroit College is awesome! I just finished the Beginning Korean class and it was so much fun. The class sizes are very small (we had 8 people) so you can have the attention from the teacher as needed. It’s also once a week in the evenings so it’s perfect if you work. Dr. Koo is a great teacher and I highly recommend this college if you want to learn Korean and also have fun learning about the culture.

I have been attending the Korean Language and Culture Classes at Adroit College since January, and LOVE it. It’s perfect for the working professional since classes are only once a week for three hours. Dr. Koo makes classes fun with songs that she’s written to help students learn the language. She also integrates fun games. It’s a nice balance of text book work and customization to student’s needs (i.e. she teaches us vocabulary that would be useful to us in addition to what’s in the text book). If you’ve been looking to learn Korean, I would highly recommend Adroit College.
