Korean Language Lessons for Beginners: Learn Hangul, Basic Grammar, Vocabulary, and Everyday Phrases

From 19 € /h

Hello :)

I am fluent in Korean (TOPIK 6) and have a deep passion for the language. I began studying Korean on my own before continuing my studies at the Korean Cultural Center in Brussels and Leiden University (the Netherlands), where I pursued Korean Studies. I then completed a Master's in Korean Translation at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. Additionally, I have attended language programs at Ewha Womans University and Sogang University (all located in Seoul, South Korea), which exposed me to various teaching styles.

Having lived in Seoul for a long time, I am not only familiar with the language but also with the culture, people, and the experience of living in Korea as a foreigner.

I have also worked as a translator in Korean-Dutch and Korean-English. Driven by my passion for the language, I am dedicated to helping others learn Korean. My lessons are customized to suit each individual's needs, ensuring a personalized learning experience.

- Whether you want to learn Korean systematically or as a hobby, I can help you develop a learning plan and practice program tailored to your needs.

- The learning atmosphere will be relaxed and enjoyable.

- If you are a beginner, starting a new language requires regular and repeated practice, I will help you correct your pronunciation and build a good foundation.

- If you already have a basic knowledge of the language, we can carry out in-depth lessons with practice for specific scenarios (e.g. advanced topic conversation, language exams, etc.).

- If you are interested in specific aspects of Korean culture, such as Korean television/movies, songs, or literature, we can learn and explore them together.

- Since I am engaged in research related to Korean literature, I can also help you with anything related to translation or academic writing.

Hi there! I'm Aria. Growing up in Seoul, living across various states in the U.S., and experiencing life in Europe, I’ve had the opportunity to embrace a rich diversity of cultures firsthand. Even before “cultural learning” became a popular phrase, I understood that truly learning a language means immersing yourself in its culture.

In my classes, you won’t just memorize vocabulary or grammar—you’ll explore the beauty, traditions, and stories behind the Korean language. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced learner, I tailor lessons to your unique goals and pace, making learning effective, enjoyable, and meaningful.

Join me on a journey that brings Korean to life—beyond words and into the heart of the culture.
