There are a lot of consonant assimilations between syllables in Korean. Be very aware of that if you want to talk like a near-native speaker.
Basically you will learn a Seoul-based dialect at your school. You might encounter several dialect speakers if you visit South Korea.
That's about it.

Actually, Danish (which is my native language) pronounces the sounds of the letters and such very similar to Korean. But thanks a lot : D
