Ich habe in Deutschland Gesang studiert und daher war ich immer neugierig auf die Aussprache.
Mit dieser Erfahrung kann ich neben dem koreanischen Lernen Sie noch auf den richtigen Weg für koreanische Aussprache führen, denn ich habe viel daran gedacht, wo und wie bestimmte Klänge produziert werden.

Ich bin Koreaner und habe 10 Jahre lang in Deutschland gewohnt und bin Musiker und habe als Solist an Theatern gearbeitet.
Daher sollte ich viel die deutsche Aussprache üben und dadurch habe viel gelernt, wie und wo die Aussprachen klingen. So kann ich im Gegenteil Ihnen die koreanische Aussprache beibringen.

안녕하세요! I’m Curie, your dedicated tutor who will walk you through the beauty of Korean language and culture.

Are you a total beginner who does not yet know the alphabets?
Were you ever confused with which level of politeness you should use?
Do you want to learn the latest slangs or understand the exact meaning of your favorite Korean song?
Do you simply need a native speaker who could help you improve your Korean to an academic level?
I would be very happy to help you out, so why not just try it out?

I study sociology as my major, but I have experiences teaching languages(Korean and English) as a tutor. As a language tutor, I think the most important thing in learning a language is to be motivated and have fun while you learn, which I have successfully done with my students before.

I will also introduce you to the culture, history and interesting facts about my country.

The materials I will use are:
- your favorite type of Korean content that is suitable for your level of proficiency
- lists of words that follow the theme
- textbooks that are provided by Noori-Sejong Institute which is completely free for everyone

The classes are only available in English and Korean, but I also speak some German(B1-B2). If that helps, I will try my best to provide additional explanations in German.

Start your journey to improve your Korean skills with me :)

I am a native Korean tutor who has abundant experience of teaching Korean for both adolescents and adults. I provide private tutoring to fit into your personal motivation and Korean level. Please let me know 'why' you want to learn Korean. I will adjust my teaching based on your reason(s) to study Korean, either easy-going or intensive or somewhere in between.

I dedicate you a first class to briefly understand your strength and weakness as well as motivation. We will discuss what kind of text book would be the most suitable for you too.

I can teach you in either my place or your flat. I can cover Dresden, Görlitz and Zittau.

Ich biete einen guten Online-Koreanischkurs an, der einfach und unterhaltsam ist und dabei hilft, die koreanische Sprache mit viel Spaß zu verbessern.

Ich bin in Seoul (Südkorea) geboren, habe dort meinen Bachelor und Master in Geisteswissenschaften gemacht und schreibe nun meine Doktorarbeit in Deutschland.

Seit über 10 Jahren lebe ich in Deutschland und arbeite seit 4 Jahren als Koreanischlehrerin für Erwachsene und Kinder. Ich unterrichte Kinder, die zum ersten Mal Koreanisch lernen, bis hin zu deutschen Studierenden, die Koreanisch in ihrer Freizeit lernen möchten.

Ich interessiere mich besonders für Musik (auch K-Pop), (K-)Dramen, Filme und Comics. Außerdem liebe ich es, die Welt zu bereisen und verschiedene Artikel und Berichte über internationale Beziehungen zu lesen. Basierend auf meinem offenen Verständnis für die reiche kulturelle Vielfalt kann man von mir ein lebendiges Koreanisch lernen, von koreanischen Idolen wie BTS und Blackpink bis hin zu Diskussionen über die Möglichkeiten, z.B. die Beziehungen zu Nordkorea/Russland/China nach Trumps Wahlsieg oder die Zukunft von Samsung Electronics.

Bei mir lernst Du in jedem Kurs, wie Du Koreanisch im wirklichen Leben anwenden kannst.

Im Unterricht verwenden wir zertifizierte Lehrbücher, die derzeit in den Sprachzentren in Deutschland und auch in Südkorea eingesetzt werden, und jede Woche kommen neue Themen hinzu, die von individuellem Interesse sind.

Wenn Du Interesse an meinem Koreanischunterricht hast, schicke mir bitte eine kurze Nachricht über Dich, in der Du mir mitteilst, wie Dein aktuelles Koreanischniveau ist, bis zu welchem Niveau Du es erreichen möchtest und wie viele Stunden pro Woche Du mit mir online Koreanisch lernen möchtest.

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.

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 :-)
