A Korean language teaching programme will be broadcast on VTV2 channel of Vietnam Television (VTV) starting from August 12, as a follow-up of the first part aired last year. 

The programme is implemented by the Korea Foundation in coordination with the University of Languages & International Studies under the Vietnam National University (VNU).

The Korean language is being taught at 14 universities in Vietnam, attracting approximately 2,600 students, alongside numerous language centres, mostly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Around 3,000 businesses from the Republic of Korea are operating in Vietnam, employing nearly 400,000 Vietnamese workers. The demand to learn the language is huge, and the existing facilities cannot meet the demand of learners.

For this reason, the first Korean teaching programme in TV in 2012 received warm response and there are great expectations for the second part. 

With the aim of popularizing Korean and the Korean culture in Vietnam, the Korean Foundation, in collaboration with Kookmin bank, has published a Korean language textbook in Vietnam.
