About KIIPGrammar

KIIP (한국사회통합프로그램) is a government-run program that teaches Korean language and culture to immigrants. Completing it can help with visa changes, permanent residency, and citizenship.

KIIP runs across 6 levels, from the alphabet up to understanding Korean society:

• Level 0 — Hangul, the Korean alphabet
• Level 1 — Beginner
• Level 2 — Advanced Beginner
• Level 3 — Intermediate
• Level 4 — Advanced Intermediate
• Level 5 — Understanding Korean Society (한국사회 이해)

Level 5 is split into two courses, 기본 (basic) and 심화 (advanced). The 심화 course is the one required for Korean citizenship.

KIIP fees are set by the government and have changed over time, so check the official KIIP (Socinet) site for the current class and test prices. The textbooks cost roughly 7,000–9,000 won each - though you can read every level for free on this site.

You apply online through the official KIIP (Socinet) website.
