"Welcome to Korea!"
The number of tourists to Korea has increased with the rise of the Korean Wave, or the cultural phenomenon also known as Hallyu. That's why Korea has become one of the hottest things to learn about.
This new Arirang program introduces Korea's attractions, history and culture along with helpful tips for travelers and handy traveler-friendly vocabulary. The show targets English, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish-speaking viewers with repetitive lessons designed to make learning Korean easy.
Viewers can also learn about the behaviors, gestures and signals distinctive to Korea. After all, it's never easy to figure out what's acceptable or not in a new country. In the spirit of respecting different cultures, the program will also teach viewers what to watch out for in terms of etiquette.
So tune into "Traveler's Korean" for an entertaining approach to learning basic tourist vocabulary and cultural nuances.

To Arirang Viewer
It's finally here!!! We have our own page. We had a starter with the former Arirang homepage. The best way to study is together!!! Language is a tool for communication! And if you are a Korean in another part of the world, maybe you could volunteer to start a study group in your area. You'll notice that at the end of every episode I tell people to visit our Message Board.
That's because I think it can become an EXTREMELY valuable tool for learning, with your help. Thanks for watching and please keep the questions and comments coming so we can improve ~ and help you more!!!
