From your first Hangul letter to advanced, critical discussion. Hello, I'm Eujin. What I enjoy most in teaching Korean is something beyond the language itself — every learner brings their own way of thinking, their own experiences, their own way of sensing and learning. I keep learning something new from that. I majored in fine arts and media criticism. I've also had the privilege of learning English, Mandarin, Thai, and Sign Language while moving between China and Thailand. Those experiences pushed me to sit with the friction between a hunger for critical conversation and discourse, and the limits of whatever language I was learning at the time. That struggle and friction is what I teach from. Whether you're starting from your very first Hangul letter or already deep into Korean, the work is the same: we build your Korean out of your own life — your work, your routines, the things you actually need to say — and, as you go further, use a critical question, a text, or an image as a trigger to discuss society, art, industry, and your own field. So however far along you are, I'll meet you as someone already thinking and critiquing your way through an entirely new language system.

한국어를 배우고 싶다면 한국어를 공부하지 마세요. 안녕하세요 제 이름은 이미진 입니다. 현재 한국에 살고 있어요. 새로운 언어를 배우는 것은 정말 힘들어요. 저도 영어를 공부하고 있기 때문에 얼마나 힘든지 잘 알아요. 그런데 한국어를 배우기 위해서는 공부하려고 하면 안돼요. 재미있는 대화를 통해서 언어를 습득해야 해요. 저는 선생님이 아닙니다. 저는 당신의 한국어 친구가 될 거에요. 저는 영화와 여행 그리고 맛있는 디저트에 관심이 많습니다. 공통 관심사가 있다면 같이 즐겁게 대화해요. 그럼 곧 봐요! 안녕 If you want to learn Korean, don't study Korean. Hello, my name is Lee Mijin I currently live in Seoul. Learning a new language is really tough. I understand how difficult it can be because I've studied English and Spanish myself. But to learn Korean, you shouldn't try to study. You should acquire the language through enjoyable conversations. I'm not a teacher. I'll be your Korean friend. My hobbies include movie, travel and dessert. If we have common interests, let's have fun conversations together. So let's have enjoyable conversations together. See you soon! Goodbye. When learning a language, it's important not to feel too much tension. Think of it as chatting with a friend and have relaxed, enjoyable conversations together. I don't recommend my classes for complete beginners. They're more suited for Korean learners who already know how to speak a little Korean. ※Dear everyone, With the exception of iTalki, lessons are conducted exclusively through Google Meet. To ensure a smooth and pleasant learning experience, kindly ask that only those who are able to join via Google Meet apply for the lessons. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

여행을 하다가 한국을 좋아하는 많은 친구들을 만나 한국어를 조금씩 알려주게 된 것이 시작이었습니다. 3년 전 남미에 정착하게 되면서 조금 더 많은 친구들에게 한국어를 가르치고자 카페에서 일주일에 한 회의 그룹 수업과 개인 수업을 진행했습니다. I have met a lot of friends who love Korean culture during travelling. After I settled here in Latin America, I wanted to help them out with language skills, so I had 1 group class once a week, and several private classes for 3 years. Currently it is hard to make group classes because of this situation, so I am willing to teach students online.

    I’m a beginner in Korean, and Teacher Bit has made learning easier. She helps me with pronunciation and uses pictures to teach new words, which makes them easy to understand and remember. I highly recommend Bit 선생님 to anyone starting Korean, especially if you need pronunciation and conversation practice. Her YouTube videos also cover much essential beginner vocabulary, which would be helpful for traveling in Korea.

    민 선생님 is an incredible teacher! I especially appreciate the effort she puts into preparing the lesson materials. She always prepares lesson materials that are tailored to my needs and interests. She carefully organizes and highlights useful expressions and vocabulary from videos, which has helped me understand how to use Korean naturally in real-life situations. During our lessons, she guides me in creating my own sentences using the new vocabulary and expressions, which has been incredibly helpful for remembering and actually applying what I learn. She also sends the materials to me before each class, which gives me time to prepare for the lesson. She is also very detail-oriented and identifies areas where I need improvement, especially with certain grammar points and my pronunciation. Thanks to 민 선생님, I have become much more confident in Korean and have even started using Korean in my music work. I highly recommend 민 선생님!

    jinny선생님 is always helpful, kind, and compassionate. she matches my learning style well and thoroughly explains each concept and the reasoning/history behind the concept. this makes the learning stick to me much better because i really like to understand the "why" behind things. additionally, 선생님 is very charismatic and welcoming so i feel comfortable making mistakes and reviewing them with her, she coaches and corrects me in a caring and constructive way and encourages me to try again independently so i can feel confident in reading out loud and conversing back and forth. lastly, her notes and tips on conversational korean are very fun helpful and add extra charm and joy to the class that makes me excited to come back and book more. i totally recommend booking a lesson even if you are a being, you are in good hands!

    I highly recommend everyone to just book a lesson with Tycoon. I've been taking lessons with him for a year now and I can say that this is, hands down, the most stress-free learning environment I've ever been in. He adapts to whatever your goals are, he's also always kind, encouraging and incredibly patient. He won't put any pressure on you regarding your pace of learning or your level of knowledge. His lessons are a place where you can feel safe to make mistakes - the only thing you get in return is encouragement and knowledge. Really cool.
