Korean Broadcasting System has launched a Korean language program for foreigners working in Korea or for those who are married to Koreans.

KBS Korean Promotion Institute and Korea Telecom (KT) held a launch ceremony on Monday.

They first began the language learning program for the Vietnamese through KT MegaTV, an Internet Protocol TV, or IPTV, service.

In addition to the language program, MegaTV will offer Vietnamese programs with Korean subtitles and KBS television programs with Vietnamese subtitles.

The two companies will offer the service free-of-charge for six months to multicultural households. They are also planning to expand the service to other languages.
