Hi, I’m Lim from Korea! :) I’ve had a deep passion for languages and cultures since childhood, and I love sharing that enthusiasm with others. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Korean and English Language and Literature, specializing in Second Language Acquisition. After graduating, I worked as a journalist for a year, which allowed me to develop strong writing and speaking skills through full-time journalism work.

I’m always grateful for 정은 쌤 for her clear explanation and enthusiasm in teaching. She devotes a lot in preparing each lesson and is always to happy to tailor make the content based on my interest. Mostly important we share lots of common interests, from history to pop culture, politics and languages. Today we continued our discussion on Korean politics and midterm election, and then talked about the currently very popular drama Queen of Tears. On top of this, we still managed to go through my homework and learnt a few more adjectives of emotions!!

정은 씨 덕분에 토픽 시험 잘 볼 수 있어서 짧은 시간에 6급이나 받게 됐어요! 의견을 나누는 게 항상 재미있고 정은 씨의 다양한 언론과 한국어에 대한 자식이 뛰어나다고 생각해요. 기회가 되면 꼭 한번 정은 씨의 수업 들어 보세요~ :)

Today we had a great discussion about regionalism in South Korea and other countries, based on a rather controversial news article. Very interesting and satisfying as always! Look forward to more discussion next time!

정은 씨‘s lessons are extremely organised and informative. Various useful expressions and grammar points are taught based on a wide range of interesting topics and are further reinforced through sample sentences and in-dept discussions. I could not have been happier with the progress I have made so far under the guidance of 정은 씨 ☺️♥️

久しぶりのレッスンでお互いの近況トークがたのしかったです。会話は全てリアルタイムで文字にしてくれ、修正してくれます。復習してたら今回も新しい文法の発見がありました。新しい表現の出会いも全て楽しいです。

I made a little mistake last time. Today IS the special occasion - our 120th lesson! But my comment still holds - JE sseam is simply the best teacher on italki I have met. Today we continued our discussion on multiculturalism and racial discrimination. Fantastic discussion as always. Look forward to our next lesson, we will go back to the classic issue of regionalism in Korea!
