The students who have been acquainted with Korean culture(through reading literature, viewing films, listening to music, visiting exhibitions, organized events, meeting with Korean artists, poets, writers, professors and others, as well as stays in the country) spread information about it and popularize it in the whole society. The greater the number of students studying a given language and getting acquainted with the culture of the native speakers of that language, the greater the number of those who fail in love with the culture of that people and the people itself.
