Korea Literature Translation Institute (LTI Korea)
to inform you about a new translation training program.

LTI Korea is a non-profit organization set up by the government of the Republic of Korea
in order to promote awareness of Korean literature throughout the world.
As an annex of the institute, the Korean Literature Translation Academy was launched
in 2007 for the purpose of fostering professional translators knowledgeable of Korean literature
and international sensibilities.
In 2008, the Academy was expanded to include the LTI Korea Translation Academy Intensive
Course to focus on cultivating skilled literary translators.

Applicants residing abroad are encouraged to apply for an intensive course fellowship,
which provides round-trip airfare, tuition, and a monthly stipend of around KRW 1,000,000 (per month).

I would deeply appreciate it if you would pass the attached information on to anyone you can think
of who might benefit from this program.

Thank you very much for your attention on this matter and do let me know if you require further clarification
on anything mentioned above or in the attachments.

Sincerely,

Yana Kim
