"I was worried about starting English in my 60s, but the lifelong learning center offers English classes by level, which is really great. I took the adult beginner English class in the 2nd semester, and I think it would be good to review it once more, so I plan to retake it in the 3rd semester."

A resident who participated in the adult beginner English class at the Gwanak-gu Lifelong Learning Center expressed satisfaction after attending the course.
