Restraints:
The global Korean language learning market faces several challenges that could limit its expansion. High tuition fees for advanced courses and international certifications make learning less accessible for students from lower-income backgrounds. The scarcity of qualified Korean language instructors, particularly outside major urban centers, further restricts widespread adoption. In addition, uneven digital infrastructure in developing regions limits access to online learning platforms, reducing opportunities for remote learners. The complexity of Korean grammar, vocabulary, and writing systems can also discourage learners, resulting in higher dropout rates. Moreover, the strong global presence of other widely studied languages such as English, Mandarin, and Spanish competes for learner attention, which may reduce the prioritization of Korean language acquisition in some countries.
