About me - English
Hello! I'm Yujin, born and raised in Korea.
I want to hear your story as well as study with you.
We may have various reasons for learning a language, but I believe we all share the same goal: to be able to express ourselves in the language we're learning. Even if it feels too difficult or distant right now, let's not give up and try together. Even if you've just started learning Hangul, it's okay if you don't know it yet. I'll help you start from learning words, forming short sentences, and eventually being able to speak.
Do you ever feel nervous about stumbling or not being understood when trying to speak, even if you can read and write Korean to some extent? That's because we lack experience in speaking. As we gain more experience and actually use the language, we'll see ourselves becoming more fluent than we are now.
Think of it as having a fun hour-long conversation with a friend. I'll be here to be your conversation partner.
Qualifications & Experience
I completed Korean language teacher training at the Language Education Institute of Seoul National University.
Currently, I am teaching Korean level 3 students who want to increase their vocabulary and focus on speaking and beginner students who have started learning Hangeul.
My class is a class where you can say what you learned right away! I will make sure that you can continue to listen to and use the expressions you learned in the first class in the second class. In the third class, you will learn new expressions by listening to and speaking the expressions you learned in the first and second classes. I will keep reminding you not to forget what you have learned and help you acquire new knowledge.
Teaching Approach
For those who can read Hangul and know the basics of Korean sentence structure, we will learn the most useful grammar points and expressions that are actually used in everyday life. As I get to know you and your interests, I will introduce vocabulary tailored specifically to you.
For students who listen to and understand Korean but still find it difficult to speak or students who can speak Korean but want to increase their vocabulary, let's talk about various topics. I'll teach you various expressions and vocabulary and teach you how to use them.
For students preparing for TOPIK.
We will solve the exam questions together. It would be better if you could solve the problem in advance, right? I will teach you the grammar and vocabulary you need while solving the problem.
