- 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.
