One common concern when studying a language abroad is whether you'll end up speaking only Korean if there are many Korean students at the school, or if your language skills won’t improve.
With this project, you don’t have to worry about that! At the language school in Malaga, students come from about 80 countries around the world, and only 2% are Korean. The percentage of Asian students is about 10%, providing a great environment for studying.
Engage in conversations with friends from diverse backgrounds who speak different languages, and feel your Spanish skills improve day by day!
