KCT will meet every Friday from 5 - 6 p.m. until the end of the semester in the Courtyard of the Illini Union. Everyone is welcome. Please join us. A goal of KCT is to bring native Korean speakers together with English speakers learning Korean for language exchange. Please feel free to bring a conversation or a homework assignment to practice with a native speaker or just bring yourself and enjoy making new friends. In the event that an activity is set up for the Courtyard, please look for us on either of the sides of the Courtyard. If we can't meet there, then we will be in the basement.
