According to a news article released by Yonhap News Agency on February 9 this year, the number of freshmen choosing to study Korean Studies at the Free University of Berlin, Germany, increased from 25 in 2008 to 350 in 2021. Also, we are receiving almost 200 applicants for the Korean class open at the Language Center of the Technical University of Munich each semester where I’m teaching students.
