Sup sogŭi Hosu is the name of the Korean Language Village at Concordia Language Villages, a language and cultural immersion program in Minnesota.
Immersed in the sights, sounds, and flavors of the Korean-speaking world, you’ll feel like you’re taking a trip to Korea, but with one big advantage: you’ll have the benefit of friendly, supportive counselors who are eager to help you learn and discover on every step of your journey.
As a “villager” at Sup sogŭi Hosu, you’ll soon be saying 잘 잤어요? (Did you sleep well?) and heading off to 아침식사 (breakfast) with your new friends. Your counselors, who come from Korea, Canada and the United States, will be with you from morning until evening.
Sup sogŭi Hosu has a relaxed atmosphere. You won’t need much more than shorts, t-shirts, a swimsuit, long pants, and warm sweatshirts. You’ll have the opportunity to dress up for a few events and also try on a hanbok (a traditional Korean costume).
Our Method
Our goal is to provide an environment in which you find the courage and confidence to explore Korean language and culture. We will use gestures, repetition, songs, and games to make sure you know what to do, where to go, and what’s going on from the moment you arrive. And, with constant help and support from our dedicated staff, you’ll be amazed by how quickly you learn — even if you are brand new to the Korean language.
Our Staff
We couldn’t do this without our staff! Our counselors come from all over the world to work here with your children. These counselors and teachers are some of the most dedicated, hard-working people there are.
Support and Scholarships
The Korean Language Village is grateful to the following foundations for their generous support in the form of villager scholarships and staffing support: The Yonkang Foundation, Seoul (part of the Doosan Group); Simone Corporation (Korea); the Korea Foundation; the International Communication Foundation, Seoul (part of YBM-Sisa); Yuhan-Kimberley Corporation, Korea. Scholarships are available for both 2 and 4-week sessions this summer!
