About Me

Hello! 안녕세요! My name is Aki and I will soon graduate with a bachelor's degree in "Korean Studies" at Leiden University, part of which I spent at Sogang University in South Korea. During my studies, I mainly focus on pronunciation and conversation. However, during my stay in Korea, I noticed a big difference between "textbook Korean" and the Korean that people speak in everyday life. In my lessons, I try to keep this difference as small as possible and make it sound as natural as possible by focusing on conversations and modern vocabulary. We work with grammar, vocabulary and conversations around an overarching theme.
Although I have a basic package for beginners, I find it very important to look at the goals of the student. If you have specific goals or suggestions such as understanding K-pop songs, K-dramas or achieving Topik level 1-2, ... then I will gladly put together a personal package with matching themes that we will cover together.
Are you a complete beginner? Don't worry! All levels are welcome! Step by step you will learn to read and write the alphabet using handy, secret tips that I and others secretly used :).
I am happy to share my knowledge that I have gained over the years and help you discover the adventure of the Korean language together! Hwaiting! 화이팅

When learning a foreign language, practicing speaking as much as possible is an important method to learn a language fast. This course is designed for intermediate students who can read Korean and can make simple sentences in Korean. And it is for students who want to practice speaking and improve their speaking level. Students or I can choose a topic such as social issues, dramas, movies, music, family, life, etc. and talk about it freely. Or I will prepare reading materials for reading and we can discuss it. They will learn new vocabulary, expressions, and idioms, etc. and definitely improve their speaking ability.

Korean often has a reputation for being difficult, but it is actually one of the most logical and fascinating languages to learn. I designed this course for anyone who wants to let go of the pressure of 'studying' and instead enjoy connecting with people through the language.

My goal is to provide a practical, lively, and culturally enriching guide for anyone interested in Korean. In this course, we cover:

- Useful expressions you can use immediately, from ordering food at a restaurant to making friends and navigating daily life in Korea.

We explore Korean through dramas, films, and current trends, so that you understand not only the words but also the nuances behind them.

- Every lesson is tailored to your specific goals – whether for travel, business, or pure curiosity. You receive 1-on-1 coaching focusing on natural pronunciation and clear, logical explanations of grammar.

Learning Korean is more than just memorizing sentences; it is a means to discover a new world. Let’s leave the complicated textbooks behind and have real, meaningful conversations. With my background in social work and international studies, I pride myself on being an empathetic and effective communicator. I am here to ensure that your interest in Korea grows into real language proficiency.
