Sup Sogui Hosu Korean Language Village

At Sup sogŭi Hosu, even the buildings are part of the learning experience🏡

Courtyards, colonnades, and conformity with nature are key elements that help Sup sogŭi Hosu feel and look like a traditional Korean building. When the setting feels authentic, every day becomes another opportunity to learn, explore, and connect with Korean language and culture.

Gwangbokjeol is celebrated each year on August 15th and commemorates Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule, and the restoration of the nation's independence.

Across South Korea, the day is marked with ceremonies, the raising of the Korean flag, patriotic music, cultural performances, and moments of reflection on the country's history and resilience.

At Sup sogŭi Hosu, we join in honoring this important holiday by celebrating Korean history, culture, and the enduring spirit of the Korean people!

Just a peek at some of the fun we've been having these first few days at Sup sogŭi Hosu.

Villagers have arrived at Sup sogŭi Hosu! Yesterday kicked off our official start to the summer season and with that, our campers were able to get settled into their new home away from home by going through customs and creating their name tags. We started to learn the dance for Crayon Pop – Bar Bar Bar and enjoyed a delicious meal.

We’re back to it today, speaking the language, singing, dancing, playing games, forming new friendships, and creating lasting memories.

For those that don’t want to miss out on the fun, we're offering late registration so you can still have your best summer yet! Visit https://www.concordialanguagevillages.org/sessions?language=Korean to register today! We hope to see you this summer!

You never know when your language skills will become a critical necessity. Read below about one of our very own who found herself in that very situation.

A Minnesota nurse helped rescue a hiker lost for days — and her Concordia Language Villages experience made all the difference.

She’s not just an alum. She’s one of our Village nurses.

You don’t need to speak another language to work here. But you will gain powerful cross cultural skills that stay with you for life.
