After finishing the basic Korean conversation, you might want to study more to travel to South Korea or meet native Korean speakers. This course is designed for students who can read Korean and can speak basic Korean expressions. Besides, it is for those who want to learn more practical and advanced expressions they can use with native speakers. Before taking this course, students will take a level test to see if they are suitable for this course. They will learn how to make sentences, advanced expressions, and idioms, etc. We will be doing many role-plays and activities using textbooks or the materials I prepare. Students will have a test after finishing every chapter and will be given homework every lesson. We will study the practical expressions that Korean people use in daily life. Start to make Korean friends and practice speaking the expressions you learned in this class! If you're interested. I look forward to hearing from you. :)

*Complete Beginner Level (Level 0) Welcome!
*Various Resources - PPTs, Homework, Workbook, Quizlet, and Interactive tools
*You Will Gain Self Confidence and Learn Real Korean.

Are you a complete beginner? That's okay! Let's start with the basics, such as correct pronunciation and conversational Korean skills. I'll help you develop the confidence you need to communicate effectively in Korean.

If you already know the alphabet, I can help you take your Korean to the next level. I use a variety of teaching methods and resources to make learning Korean fun and engaging.

I’ll provide presentations, materials (textbook, news article, video clips, also on your need and interest), and homework to help you succeed.

*You can ask for a group class with your friends or family

[Korean for Beginners]
Are you a complete beginner? No worries. Let's start by studying the correct pronunciation of sounds step by step, beginning with the 10 vowels: ᅡ, ᅣ, ᅥ, ᅧ, ᅩ, ᅭ, ᅮ, ᅲ, ᅳ.

I will guide you on how to pronounce them correctly, because good pronunciation is essential for learning any language. By starting with the fundamentals, we can make learning Korean easier and smoother. So, let's get started and master these important sounds together!

[Conversational Korean]
I am a big fan of Korean dramas, and I will use them as examples to show you how Korean is spoken in real life. This will help us develop a deeper understanding of the language and its nuances.

I will teach you how to speak Korean in both formal and informal settings, so that you can understand real Korean more effectively. My lessons are primarily designed for those who wish to improve their conversational Korean skills, and I will teach you how to speak in a fluent and natural way. Additionally, I will provide you with many expressions and phrases commonly used by native speakers to help you sound more like one.

I am also happy to assist with written Korean, whenever a student requires it.

Hi, I’m Heewon from South Korea and I currently study music in the Netherlands.

In Korea I taught exchange students Korean to make their stay more comfortable. Furthermore I taught students all over the world via an online language learning service. This experience showed me how fun teaching is and proved to me my skill in tutoring someone. Plus, having spoken to many Europeans I found some to be intrigued by Korean culture. So with my students I often find myself teaching them a lot about Korea as a country as well.

You can check my teaching skills below.

- Teach the basics of Korean in a cohesive structure to get you going quickly.
- Provide my own materials and documents about grammar, expression and vocabulary, not boring text book.
- Analyze Korean media like real world scenarios and Kpop for keeping learning interesting.
- Tailor lessons specifically to a students skills and goals.

Hi! My name is Ye-Eun. I'm from Korea, living in Berlin right now. To me, language is a way to connect with people in deeper and wider level. I have always enjoyed talking to people in different languages and introducing them to a different world through different languages.

I have been teaching for the past 5+ years, and my Korean lessons are one of my favorites! They are structured, practical and dynamic, and I can tell you that you would almost naturally improve your Korean skills with me!

I will introduce you to some rich and interesting culture of Korea, and we would talk, read and write about interesting topics in each lesson. Each lesson would have core expressions of the day, so that you can understand how the Korean language is structured, and practice using the expressions in authentic conversations.

I know that language courses could be tough, but I'll make sure you have a lot of fun while learning Korean with me. In the first lesson, we would talk about what you're interested in, and I would prepare the materials around your own interests!

And don't worry if you're a total beginner! I have beginner level courses ready for you. See you soon!

Fun, Dynamic, Practical and Structured! Korean with Ye-Eun :-)

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.

As someone who moved to South Korea by becoming a GKS(Global Korea Scholarship) recipient, I will help you learn the language but also explain cultural nuances. I did my undergrad in Korean Studies, took TOPIK exam several times (3 times got level 5, and on the 4th try - level 6). I am currently doing a master's at Ewha Womans University. So I can also give a lot of insights and information on admission, scholarships and education in Korea.
