Toronto Korean-English Language Exchange

The UofT Korea Club is proud to collaborate with the East Asian Studies Student Union to bring you the weekly Toronto Korea-English Language Exchange!  This language exchange, which is held on Friday evenings, gives both Korean and English language students the ability to practice their skills in a casual, free-conversation environment.  It is also a great opportunity for cultural exchange, and of course, making new friends!

Super Wave Korea 2012

Super Wave Korea is an event that showcases our passion for Hallyu, the new sensation of Korean culture!  Usually held in October, the event offers a night of music, through both talent competitions and the contributions of our wonderful guests!  People of all backgrounds are invited to show off their love for Korean culture through musical and choreographed performances.  It’s also a chance to eat some delicious Korean cuisine, and win prizes from our sponsors!

Super Wave Korea is an event put on by various members of the Korean community in Toronto, such as KTO (Korean Tourism Organization) and KCCA (Korean Canadian Cultural Association), as well as help from student groups such as York’s Hallyu Dongari, and your very own Korea Club!  The event is held in order to showcase Korean culture as a very important part of Canada’s multicultural heritage.

Korea Week

In 2011-2012 we held a week-long series of events celebrating Korean culture known as Korea Week! It was kicked off with a Monday Movie Night, where we watched Twilight Gangsters. Tuesday we held a meeting where we taught students how to write in Korean. For White Day Wednesday, we held a Kimbap making class. Time to Play Thursday rolled around and we had a fun Karaoke outing! The week ended on a high note with our Fun Times Friday, which marked our year end social.
