    Certified tutor with 5 years of experience. Hello,
    My name is Euisook.
    In 2009, I completed the course of teaching Korean as a foreign language to foreigners at Yonsei University. After completing the course, I have more than a year of experience teaching the Korean language to different nationalities such as Italian, American, Singaporean, Chinese, and Mongol students.

    Why choose EuiSook K.
    "I’ve only had 3 classes with Ms. Euisook K. so far and she has already taught me alot about the Korean language. I am a beginner at this course and she’s able to adjust to my level and knows how to teach me in an effective way. In addition to that, she’s fun, patient, and very easy to get along with! I always look forward to meeting her in class. Oh also, not to mention, she’s not as expensive as the others. 👍🏼 So I definitely recommend her as a private tutor 😊"

    Easy, Exciting, Essential Korean💜 Hi everyone, I’m Bora. I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea.
    So, we will be having Korean lessons in a standard accent.
    I'm teaching Korean at a language school in Seoul. I have been teaching Korean since 2015. So, I understand the difficulties you’ll experience and what kind of practices you would need.

    Why choose BORA K.
    "Bora is amazing and wonderful teacher! She is very friendly and it is interesting to study with her. Thanks to Bora I became more confident with speaking in Korean in longer sentences as well as learning more about Korean culture and people. Bora creates excellent teaching materials for our lessons and provides different examples of how to use the phrases and words in real life that we have learned during our lessons. If I don't understand something, she would always find a different way to explain this to me so that I could finally understand her and stop getting confused. I always look forward to our weekly classes and she is the type of teacher I was looking for. "

    🤚Certified tutor over 8 yers for from Koreans to foreigners! Hi! I'm Soyeon :) I’m so happy to meet you here!
    I have been teaching Korean to foreigners and Korean high school students for over 8 years.
    🧸If you want to learn Korean, but you don't know where to start, here I am!
    🧸I can let you know about Korean culture and grammar at the same time, with teaching materials.

    Why choose Soyeon B.
    "I've had an enjoyable few months of studying Korean with Soyeon. Soyeon's lessons are a great balance of speaking and new grammar concepts. Soyeon's patience in correcting my speaking mistakes and encouraging me to use the concepts that we've learnt have really helped me retain a lot of the content. Even after I took a 3.5 month break, I was able to come back and largely pick up from where I left off because of the repetition we'd previously done on basic principles."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🇰🇷 How to learn Korean?

There are many different ways to learn a new language, and it really depends on what works best for you. Key to learn a language is total immersion. With an online Korean tutor you can learn Korean with a native speaker even when you're not in Korea. There are many more ways you can have a bit of Korea in your own home. Test your comprehension skills when you watch great films like "Oldeuboi" or "Parasite." Maybe Korean dramas are more your thing (Don't worry you're not alone.) You have a visual buffet awaiting you. And of course, let's not forget the international sensation K-pop has become. Look up BTS, Blackpink, and other popular Korean songs to practice your pronunciation as you enjoy some tunes. For something more low-key, curl up somewhere comfortable and dive into the literary world of Sun-mi Hwang, Seo Jeong-ju, or other Korean authors. Make sure to ask your Preply Korean teacher for recommendations.
 

🥇 Is Korean hard to learn?

The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) ranked Korean as one the hardest languages to learn. Korean is a unique language, it belongs to the Koreanic language family and has around nine dialects. Learning a language with a new sentence structure and writing system can be daunting, like with Korean. Learning Korean can be hard at first, but after you've had some lessons with a private Korean tutor you will notice you're making progress already.
 

📅 How long does it take to learn Korean?

On average, it takes around 88 weeks or 2,200 hours to learn Korean. As with any language you want to learn, the more time you're willing to invest the faster you will learn. To make progress we recommend taking at least two Korean lessons a week.
 

🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏿How many people speak Korean?

There are 82 million Korean speakers across the world, with the majority being native speakers (77 million). It is the official language in North and South Korea, regional in one country, and spoken in seven others.
 

🎓 What are the most popular Korean tests?

The Korean Language Proficiency Test (KLPT), particularly for non-native speakers, suits those looking to work in Korea. Getting certified can help you advance your career or at the least confirm your proficiency. On the other hand, the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is for students trying to enroll in Korean universities or graduate schools. Job seekers can also take this test to work at Korean companies and public institutions. Lastly, passing the TOPIK is necessary to obtain an F-5 visa if you're not married to a Korean citizen.
