Hello! I would like to welcome you guys to Gangnam.
I don’t know if you’ve heard of this place,
but it’s the coolest part of Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
To begin, my name is Chris. I make YouTube videos in Spanish here in Korea,
but I was invited by EF to check out their new school opening here in Gangnam.
It’s a Korean school. They teach you Korean.
I don’t know if you recognize the song called Gangnam Style.
It’s a really famous song.
They even made this little thing of Psy, the singer, the guy who sings about Gangnam.
It’s that cool of a place. I just wanted to show you. It’s pretty cool.
EF is also the official education services sponsor
for the winter Olympics coming up here in 2018 in Korea,
so they are a big deal.
You’re going to get quality education from them, I think.
Here we are. This is the building where the new school is located.
It’s right in front of Sinnonhyeon Station, Exit 6.
It’s right in front. You can’t miss it.
I’m just going to go in and show you guys what’s in there.
I am now entering. As you can see, it says EF right there.
Right from the beginning, this is what you walk into.
I see some seats where you can sit with your new friends you’ll meet here.
I think you can use the computer.
Maybe I’ll come here to study or maybe I’ll have a project to work on. Big screen!
This is only one of their classrooms. It feels pretty open. There are glass walls.
There’s a projector up in the ceiling.
I don’t know if you can see it, but let me show you the projector.
Here I am where you can hang out with friends, drink a lot of coffee,
and talk about what happened that day and what you studied.
I don’t know, but it’s cool. It looks clean.
Look how open it is. The light comes from everywhere.
When you’re studying here, you’ve got to sleep somewhere, of course.
One of the options is staying with a local family
and the other option is to stay at the facilities EF provides you.
Now we’re here in the back streets of Gangnam.
You know, the big streets I just showed you? We’re right behind that
I just want to remind you,
if you want to order more information about Korean courses here with EF,
you’re going to see a link in the description box. It’s ef.com/seoul2018.
If you klick on that link, you’re going to be able to order a free brochure.
I think you can get it through e-mail or you can get it mailed as well.
It’s now time for me to show you what’s around Gangnam,
what’s cool and what you can do here.
They have just brought out our food. It’s looking pretty good.
This is called “bossam”. It’s basically Pork that’s boiled in a special sauce.
This is a soup that we have here in Korea. It’s very famous.
It’s called “dwen jang chiggae” It’s like a miso soup, but it’s a Korean version.
It’s called dwen jang chiggae and it’s really good.
We also have this Korean style pancake.
It’s called kimchi jeon and here we have it.
This one’s kind of special because it has cheese on it.
What’s great about Gangnam is that wherever you go,
it has a bit of a mixture of cultures.
We don’t usually put cheese on the kimchi jeon
but I think it’s a fusion style, a bit more Americanized,
so maybe people from foreign countries can eat it more easily.
There’s another thing I recommend you guys to do if you are in Gangnam.
This place is a movie theatre. It’s called CGB. It’s really close to Gangnam Station.
It’s always really clean.
You can watch Korean movies and movies from other countries.
I don’t know if you can feel it,
but whenever the sun goes down, Gangnam comes alive.
It’s just one of those places that’s also great at night.
I also wanted to tell you that the Han River,
which is the river that goes across the middle of Seoul,
is 10 minutes that way.
You can eat stuff there or lay down with your friends and talk.
You can also do stuff like wakeboarding over there.
Just walking around, you can find a lot of places to eat that are from other countries.
Look, we’ve got a Shake Shack over there.
This is the place where you can go bowling. This building. It’s right across the EF building.
I just noticed that right now.
Check out this bowling alley. It’s pretty cool, right?
It’s half club, half bowling alley. It’s really fun if you come with friends.
That was it for this video. I hope you got some useful information out of it.
I just want to remind you again
that the link to get more information is in the description box below.
You should check that out. I guess I’ll see you guys around. Bye!
