Sogang Korean
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I’ve heard that Sogang is also not bad and is more focused on speaking .
- SNU is great for grammar, Sogang is great for speaking
- The first three months (when I studied level 3 at Sogang) was the greatest improvement. Through level 4 and 5 improvements were less sudden and noticeable. It was the best thing I ever did for my Korean.
- I heard Sogang is known for speaking and Yonsei is more on grammar. So if your goal is speaking Sogang would be great choice.
- Sogang for speaking
Cons
- Yeah so while I get your point and there are some dialogs that do come up exactly like that in day-to-day life, for most of them you should think of the possible variations and I personally don't think that Sogang does that.
- Personally, I have been using Sogang (1A~4B) for my degree here in Spain and I've always hated the method. It feels stupid to repeat again and again the same exact dialog bc I don't feel like that teaches anything at all, since you don't...

Sogang for speaking
I'm not familiar with Sogang's program, but I think they have a reputation for getting you speaking fairly fast. The downside was I heard some students had difficulty with honorifics and grammar later on (this was from a roommate who attended Sogang, so take it with a grain of salt!!!)
If it helps, I would have studied at Sogang if I hadn’t gone to a private academy, as I’ve heard good things about their program.
So I think for getting comfortable speaking, it was a great setting.
I absolutely recommend getting one of the university books like ewha or sogang.
