Korean
Korean is spoken in Korea, in the border districts of the People's Republic of China (Yanbian) and in emigrant communities (notably in Japan, China (Beijing, Shandong), Russia, Australia, the USA, France, etc.), and is the official language of North and South Korea.
The classification of Korean is still controversial. Most linguists consider it an isolate8, while others group it in a hypothetical Altaic family9. Some similarities with Japanese have been noted10.
The alphabet used to write Korean is hangeul, created in the 15th century and made official in the 19th; hanja (sinograms used in this language) are also used, a fairly large proportion of the lexicon being of Chinese origin (at least outside everyday vocabulary).
Korean in continuing education is taught in group courses (subject to a minimum number of trainees) or individual courses (maximum of four trainees).
