“One of my favorite parts was the intense collaboration. We were able to learn from zero together, and it made the experience so meaningful. Also, the cultural activities tied in the language lessons well.”

“Virtual NSLI-Y was great and guided me on my Korean language learning journey. I was able to be immersed in an environment where other people my age had the same interest and motivation of learning the language. It pushed me to work harder toward my goals and become a better student! I met amazing people and was able to utilize what I learned!”

-Ana, Virtual NSLI-Y Korean alum
