Seongsoo Kim

I always look forward to my weekly Korean lesson with Seongsoo. I never feel nervous to make a mistake or ask a question because the atmosphere is comfortable and fun, which is important for me when learning language. The amount I learn in a 30-minute lesson is amazing, and being able to feel your progress is so nice! Thank you for all your help so far.

I have learned so much and so quickly during my lessons with Seongsoo. He gives wonderful explanations, relevant information about the language and culture, and is so supportive of my learning. I highly recommend this class to beginners especially. I look forward to every lesson and can feel my progress already even though we just started!! Thank you!

Told me about the markers and grammar points. It helped me a lot because before i started learning i thought that it was going to be very hard to learn the grammar points and markers but he made it easy by explaining it to me very well im for sure going to book again have a nice day;)

Today we went over location marking particles, new vocab focusing on places, and putting it into to practice. We did a general mix of reading, speaking and listening today. But mainly focused on making sentences based on real life to give context to the workbook. Still having trouble with pronunciation, but Mr. Kim is understanding and corrects me when it happens. I tend to try repeating the correct way to pronounce a word a few time after, to make sure I have it down (at least for a bit). All in all a good lesson.

I had a great experience with my first Korean teacher, Seongsoo, on iTalki. His approach of tailoring classes to my level and needs was exactly what I was looking for. He asked relevant questions, tried to understand my Korean learning challenges and involved me in planning our classes, showing his dedication to teaching and helping students. Looking forward to more classes with him!

Today we went over subject markers, vocab, and pure Korean numbers with a focus on speaking and listening. For me listening is something I have a lot of trouble with, as I get really confused with similar sounds. Mr. Kim was very patient with me and went over the practice examples slow enough speed for me to understand. My reading is still better than speaking or listening but we are making progress.
