I express great interest in the Language Preparation Programme as I have always been greatly intrigued and fascinated by the different cultures around the world and particularly the Korean culture of late. I am especially enthusiastic to be able to visit South Korea to explore their lifestyle, traditions, food, architecture, education and their buzzing entertainment scene. I have always been interested in taking up the Korean language as I believe that by only doing so will I be able to enhance my learning and gain a better, deeper and more profound understanding of the Korean culture. Hence, I am delighted and very keen in participating in the LPP and taking up the Korean language.

Being an Asian, I am interested in finding out more about our fellow Asians lifestyle, culture and traditions. The World Wide Web has been a great place for us to gain more knowledge. However, this cannot be compared to being able to personally experience and be in direct exposure of their cultures. I believe that the Student Exchange Programme is a great opportunity for me to encounter new and fresh experiences through the interaction with the people there. It will allow me a platform to not only be presented with a different culture, but also share my knowledge of Singaporeans' culture to the people there.

Having participated an Overseas Community Involvement Programme in Bintan in my junior college years, the experience of being in a foreign land and getting used to a different lifestyle has been truly amazing and enriching. Hence, I am definitely keen in being exposed to a brand new culture again. These experiences will allow us to appreciate many little blessings in our lives as well as gaining many valuable lessons from our friends we meet there.



Pretty amazingly, my application for LLP to learn korean turned out to be successful. i'm excited to be able to visit korea in year 2.but i;m getting stressed now knowing that i will need to attend korean language lessons cos i'm not exactly a language person. in fact, i think i suck at my languages. bit trying to put myself down here. but, i know my strengths and weaknesses. oh dear. i hope everything will turn out fine. i would better gp indulge in more korean dramas and try to grasp some of the language instead of constant;y looking at the cute guys in them. LOL.


ok. but yippees and yays. i gt korean. and miao gt german! thank God for ur blessings!=D
