Koreans Learn Chinese over the phone

Chinese conversation lectures over the Internet phone are becoming widespread through telemarketing calls from China to Korea.

Koreans can learn Chinese directly from native speakers at low cost if they use Internet phone connections linking China and Korea.

Cho Young-ok, an official of Samyoung Network, a Korean agency of such Chinese teachers, said, “If you pay W49,500 (5 cents US) to an Internet phone company a month, you can make unlimited fixed line and cell phone calls from China. There are several Chinese language institutes that teach the language over the Internet phone.”
