About Us
My Korean Learning is the leading Korean Learning facility based in Cebu City. It offers computer-based learning programs for individuals who wish to be able to write, understand, and communicate in Korean.
My Korean Learning Center was established in 2015. The online program, which can be accessed by anyone anywhere in the world, was launched in early 2017.
The growing demand for skilled Filipino workers in Korea was one of the primary reasons why the center was established. Filipinos who wish to work in Korea have to pass the EPS-TOPIK test. And since MKL's inception, we have succeeded in giving our learners enough knowledge and language skills to be able to pass the test.
Our primary clients are Filipinos who wish to secure jobs in Korea. Also, a big chunk of our learners are individuals who want to pass the TOPIK test in order to secure a spousal visa. The rest are enthusiasts who simply want to communicate in Korean and have a deeper understanding of the Korean culture.
MKL's main office is located in Barangay Bakilid, along Highway Seno in Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines.
Yes. Once the MKL online education system is in place, we will be looking into the possibility of re-opening our actual MyKoreanLearningCenter for those who wish to learn and study in the usual school setting.
Learning Packages
MKL learning packages are easy and convenient learning packages that are designed with the Filipino learner in mind. Learners may choose to start with the basic packages or challenge themselves by beginning at a more advanced level.
MyKoreanLearning packages can range from as short as one week to as long as three months. For more comprehensive learning, you may opt to renew your packages to continue having access to our programs.
Ideally, people who want to learn Korean must study non-stop for one whole year. However, to be able to speak, write, and communicate in basic Korean, six months is more than enough.
