Centro Cultural Coreano in Buenos Aires

Hi, mates! How are you doing? I’ve been very busy this last couple of days. I have to study a lot for my Korean course. In may, I have to participate in a contest related to the Korean culture. The people in charge can ask you about anything, not only about language. We have to study a lot. So, today post is going to be about this place where I study this beautiful language.

LET'S GO

Located in Coronel Diaz 2884, the Korean Cultural Center (or CCC in Spanish) opened its doors for the first time in 2006 in Palermo. The aim of the CCC is to bring the Korean culture to the community. How do they do it? By delivering different talks, and events related to music, art, cinema, and language. All these events are completely for free. Sometimes, you have to enroll via online for the talks.

Cinema and Art

Every month, the CCC offers different events related to cinema and art. The last exhibition “Imágenes de lejos” was a successful art event. Different artists showed their love to Korea through art.

Twice a month, you can visit the CCC to watch some of the most amazing films. Of course, these films are in Korean, but they all have Spanish subtitles.

Korean language

You can also study Korean in this place. This an intensive course. It is very demanding, but it is also amazing. You can start from zero. But if you have already studied the language, you can improve your skills. There are six levels, but you will have to do two levels in the same year. You have to be ready to study hard and practice a lot. 

By the way, in may the 12th the “Quiz On Korea” will take place. In this contest, Korean people will ask questions about anything related to the Korean culture. The first prize is a trip to Korea. Once you get to Korea, you will have to continue studying for the big final. The final will be aired on KBS (a Korean TV channel). You will compete with people all around the world. Are you scared now? Because I am. Even if you are not studying the language in the CCC, you can enroll via online to participate. It is obligatory for those who are studying in the CCC.

Music and workshops

If you enjoy Kpop music, you have to visit the center in April. During that month, you can participate in one of the biggest Kpop contest in Latin America ever.

If you want to learn more about Korea, you can attend one of the many workshops and talks related to the country. In april, you can attend “Hapkido: arte marcial tradicional para las nuevas generaciones.” If you like cooking, you can also learn about traditional Korean gastronomy. You can also learn about fashion, classical music, technology, and calligraphy.

You can check all these events, and many more, in the following link https://www.facebook.com/CC.Coreano/?ref=br_tf .

Remember what Tom Freston says, "Travel early and travel often. Live abroad, if you can. Understand cultures other than your own. As your understanding of other cultures increases, your understanding of yourself and your own culture will increase exponentially." 

Ok, that's all for now folks! I hope you have a good week.
