- Hi loves!
Daily, I get quite a few dm's and comments about Yonsei KLI (Korean Language Institute) so I thought I'd make a video about my experience and some details about the program. As you know, I studied at Yonsei KLI for about a year and did both A course and B course so I guess I'm qualified to talk about it haha
If you have any more questions to which you can't find the answer on the Yonsei KLI website, please leave them in a comment down below!

If you have any more questions to which you can't find the answer on the Yonsei KLI website, please leave them in a comment below! I will get back to you as quickly as possible :)
I kindly ask you guys not to send me DM's unless you have no other option. I have social anxiety and it's been extremely stressful for me to get dm's, text messages etc but comments seem to be fine for me. I'm sure some of you may find that rude but I have learned in the past that if I don't guard my boundaries like this, I get extremely anxious and mentally exhausted. I hope you can understand that my mental health is my number one priority.
Much love
Laura
This is exactly the video we all needed!! Thank you so muuuchhh 💛💛💛
Oh thank you!! I’m happy it’s a little helpful 🥰
thank you for this hun. very helpful :) cheers!
Your video was so informative 💕💕 I'm planning to go to Yonsei KLI next September for my gap year before getting my master's 🥺 I was hesitating between a&b course but my goal is to start at level 4 and go all the way to level 6 ~ your video motivated me so much to keep working and studying to get there!!
I hope you're doing well and you're enjoying uni ☺️
Omg so so exciting!!!
If you’re sure you can start at level 4, I’d totally do a course instead of b course since some grammar and vocabulary is similar between level 4 a & b course. Did that sentence even make sense? haha
Wishing you nothing but good luck!! 화이팅 🥰
Thank for the video 💓
Love your makeup here!
Merci pour les infos 🙏🏻
Girllllll I totally feel you on the existential crisis of not having a degree at 25 lol. I caved and registered for an online university. Thanks so much the video. Very helpful.
OMG I was literally debating between Sogang and Yonsei and then I came across this video haha
this was such an incredible and honest review, thank you so much! To your experience, how much prior knowledge do most people have to be at level 3? Or what was your prior experience in Korean before starting?
Hi Laura! Thank you for the video it was really informational. A question I was seeing the courses on the KLI programs and I didn't see the B course, just A and C you know something about it, have they remove it? Hope your are doing fine, hugs
Thank you so much Laura for this video. I'm actually looking for more info about KLI and I'm glad I found your video. It's very informative thank you! :) I'm wondering whether they provide 100% online course this year because of the travel restriction everywhere now :)
It is fully online for the summer semester! The next semester is yet to be decided.
I have to go back and look at what I am doing. I paid for 6 months starting in a weeks time but do not remember anything about an A course or B course haha.
Thanks for the video~ (btw your makeup is so well done🤭) Why are you not planning on applying to Yonsei University after KLI? You look 20-21 tbh🤭😂
Oh, and, do you have older people attending to the KLI? Or even at university there, are there people over 25? Because I’m 27 and I plan to pursue my 2nd degree in Korea but people warned me about how it’ll be difficult for me to adjust and make friends cuz I’m 27..thanks to ageism..😭 sorry for my English🙏🏻
Oh gosh... This information is pure gold, I'm still a teenager in my last year of highschool and I want to move to South Korea so badly but KLI is quite expensive:') plus I'm still a minor so the amount of money of the tuition it's completely out of my range. Does this program have a scholarship??
Hi, did you just do KLI at Yonsei or did you take other classes as well? For my exchange program I have to take a certain amount of credits worth of classes but I also want to apply for KLI, and I’m wondering if the schedules would clash. The regular exchange program and KLI seem to be pretty separate in that deadlines and prices (for housing for example) under each are different so am I even able to do both? Thanks :)
Hi! Since you did multiple levels, I was wondering if you know if you can stay in the dorm during the time between semesters (the 2-3 week vacation time) if you pay extra?
Hello! How are you? Hope everything is well =)
Your video was really informative! Thank you so much for uploading it!
I really want to go to Yonsei next year for the KLI program, and one of the things that I found really interesting in Yonsei is the fact that they are more focused on a academic korean, and since a want to do a master degree in Korea after the KLI, I think that the program would be really good for me =)
I have some questions if that ok =)
First, even if the classes have more asian foreigners than westerns, did you feel welcomed in the class or more left out? And there were other westerns?
Also, it's true that in Yonsei you have like, a list of 50 words that you need to memorise in a day everyday? I saw that in a video, but I have never seen anyone talk about this before.
Thank you so much!
Hii!
Thank you so much, really glad it helped ☺️
When I had classes with mostly Asian students, it was all online so it’s a bit of a different experience than if we were in class. They were all super sweet and I hung out with a classmate as well so didn’t really feel excluded or anything. There were two other westerners in my class back then as well.
Hmm I feel like the word list is a level 1 thing? Just the basic words you kinda need to know but I’m not entirely sure if it were 50 words or if they had to study every single day. I know some people in my goshiwon had to study some words but that’s all I really know, sorry!
hi if you apply for the summer program during the application time when will you receive the notice that your application is successful ? and also if you apply for the 3 months regular program and you want to arrive earlier in korea do you have to apply the visa yourself ? thank you !!
Hi.. may I know how mudah does it cost for the Books that use in language program?
Hi! Thank you for making this video, it was really helpful.
Did you live in the dorms on campus, or get your own studio apartment in Seoul? I'm considering going for 9 months from September, and am wondering what the best option for me will be. Here's to being 31 and following dreams.. I can so relate to the existential crisis!
Hii!!
I rented a goshiwon in Sinchon! I think it was cheaper than a single room in the dorms but I could be wrong.. If you’re curious, the insta page of the one I stayed at is called yonsei_house and I also have a video about it!
Also, I am so so happy for you that you are following your dreams and doing what you truly want to do!! Wishing you nothing but good luck and happiness 🥰🥰
Wait are the exams like on Korean the speaking exams on stuff like the grammar and vocabulary your talking about is it to learn Korean or ur doing all this for English or it’s like Korean tests and stuff to learn Korean speak Korean and write Korean ?
Hi, is it allowed to work in Korea while holding D-4 visa?
Im 23, graduated school at 15 ( in my country you only have 9 years of school and can only go to uni if you’re really really smart) Did a apprenticeship after school So my highest diploma is a job diploma and Im wondering If KLI is open for everyone or just uni students/high schoolers. (Englisch is not my mother language so if Im asking something you already said Im sorry)
Do you have to take this program or school or can you attend yonsei and on the side learn Korean???
Hi Laura! I found this video very helpful, thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to make it! I am finishing my application now and I see they ask for an essay. There is no prompt or explanation on what they are looking for, do you have any guidance on this?
Also, I am curious about the dorm and living options. Did you live on campus at the dorms? Would you recommend it ? I was originally looking at off campus apartments but am worried that might be too difficult for my first term. (all this hoping I get accepted of course).
Oh thank you, I’m glad it was helpful ☺️
For the essay: really doesn’t matter from what I know! I just wrote that I wanted to explore South Korea, learn more about the culture and that I learned a bunch of languages in high school and that was enough for them!
I did not live in the dorms, I rented a goshiwon nearby (I have a video about it btw) so I can unfortunately not give you any information about the dorms :s
Hi!
KLI students can stay at the dorms ☺️
I didn’t so I can’t really give any more information about that, sorry :s
Hi Laura, i have a question about the winter semester, every semester is 10 weeks, but i was counting the weeks when i should end and it doesn’t match up with the week end stated on the website.. now i was wondering is there a one week break for christmas/new year?during the winter semester. Thank you
Oh you have a few days off here and there but never a week, I think. Every trimester, you need to be taught for 200 hours so I guess that’s why some trimesters are a little longer than others.
Hey Laura I was just wondering! For health insurance, could you apply for the National Health Insurance in Korea or did you have to get travel insurance before leaving your country?
Hii!! There’s a foreign student insurance you can apply for (my mail says it’s ₩110.000) but I personally only got travel insurance because they provided very little information about the insurance. 🥰
Hi! Thank you for making this video. I’m planning to submit an application for 2023 and I had a question regarding the application process.
I know that Yonsei wants original documents (diploma, etc.) but how does that work with the birth certificate and passport? Did you have to notarize a copy?
You will need to get another official copy of both documents, and take them to get apostiled by your state (I'm in the USA so it's by state). I am applying for 2023 as well and plan to arrive in Korea in November for 6 months! If you want, we can help each other with the application process.
@@naraeangelic thank you!! And yes, we can help each other out! :)
tbh this is super helpful, i know my grammar is decent but my speaking is really sad so I'll keep this in mind if I decide to attend language school after college!! do you know of anyone who went from KLI to grad school in Korea? I'm thinking about doing a grad school program in English but I think having the option to do it in Korean would be cool too.
This is late but I hope you go to the program that emphasizes grammar, you will make way more progress by going out and speaking with random people instead of relying on the class for your speaking
@@malikbooker9187 good advice!!
did you ever find out anything about this? i graduate for my bachelors online in a month and am looking to move to korea to continue my studies, but am now considering doing the KLI (year course?) then applying to grad schools in korea as they all seem to be in korean (atleast in yonsei) im struggling to find info :")
@@tuna-wg1fj hey! i think it would definitely be possible to do university courses after finishing KLI. you would probably be okay to start classes after finishing level 5 (maybe even 4)? but i would also recommend looking at other university’s korean programs
I have a question. When do I need to arrive at yonsei for KLI Program? Like on which month
It depends on when you’re starting. They should normally have additional information on their website about when each trimester starts and when you need to apply ☺️
Thanks for this it was very informative 🥺 small RUclipsr ❤️here
Did you make any korean friends ? Were your korean classmates friendly and even the citizens in general
Also how is the cost there ?
Thank you have a good day !
Hi!
I had some Korean friends but you’re mostly going to be hanging out with other foreigners, in my opening.
I think Koreans are super friendly and sweet!
Uhm because I’m Belgian, Korea was very cheap to me. It really all depends on the country you’re from tbh so it’s hard to say.
Have a nice day ☺️
@@LauraJacobs thank you so much !
How much money u had to pay for the program?
Hi! I would recommend checking their website since the tuition can change every year ✨
I think they were sweet or angels to you because you are white. I don't think black people will have the same treatment that's why I am kind of hesitant to go there.
Hi! I’m not going to deny that some Koreans are colourist or racist but I genuinely never caught my teachers behaving like that.
I had a black girl in my class and my teachers were super kind to her. If anything, my teacher favoured her more because she was so good at Korean. I had a friend who wore a hijab and again, no comments were made, no disrespectful questions were asked and she was always treated with kindness and respect.
I can only speak for the teachers I’ve had but they are all used to meet people from all over the world so I wouldn’t worry about it.
