Youth Korean Lanuguage Program(YKLP) : ์ด๋ฆฐ์ดํ๊ธ๋ฐโค๏ธ
The 2026 Spring Youth Korean Language Program (YKLP) is designed for both beginners learning Korean for the first time and continuing students who have completed the basic course and are ready to advance to the next level.
Our program offers a structured and immersive learning environment, integrating traditional Korean arts and cultural craft activities to make each class engaging, interactive, and enjoyable. Through this approach, students can strengthen their speaking, reading, and writing skills while also deepening their understanding of Korean culture.
The Spring 2026 session will run for 15 weeks, aligned with the SFUSD academic calendar, from the week of January 19 to the week of May 18, 2026.
We look forward to welcoming young learners for a fun and meaningful Korean language experience.๐ผ
