    LEVEL 2 CERTIFIED KOREAN LANGUAGE TEACHER Certified tutor He has completed the Korean foreign language course at the university and is a qualified second level Korean teacher.
    I like to experience different things and help others. I have a positive attitude with a conscientious and friendly personality. I have experience teaching Vietnamese migrant workers and foreign students.

    Why choose 수경 정.
    "I was looking for a Korean teacher that would teach me Korean in Korean. I've more than 5 languages like that, using the target language to learn itself. Of course, it is hard but this is the fastest way ever. 수경 (the teacher) is the perfect option if you are looking to hear only Korean. I didn't know anything in Korean and with only 5 lessons I can speak several sentences thanks to her. I highly recommend trying a lesson with her, it is a great experience. "

    Cerified Korean teacher Hello!
    I'm a native Korean speaker.
    Would you like to learn Korean?
    Do you want to speak the Korean language better?
    Do you need a partner to speak Korean?
    If you are interested in Korea and Korean, I can be of help to you.
    I’m a professional Korean language teacher.

    Why choose Lotus K.
    " 수선생님, 정말 감사합니다! I have been taking lessons twice a week for the last ten weeks with this tutor and it is genuinely one of the best decisions I have ever made for my language education! I absolutely love taking classes with this tutor and I feel like my Korean and confidence has improved immensely since day one! Her lessons are entirely in Korea, which I have to admit I felt nervous about in the beginning, however this teacher is so experienced, competent, patient and supportive that it has never been an issue - she has such a talent for explaining anything you don’t understand so simply in Korean that you’ll never feel out of your depth. My weakest skill has always been listening, but since starting these lessons my comprehension has improved tenfold - the same goes for my speaking and reading skills! I think any student, from extremely experienced and competent to a beginner, would immensely benefit from taking her classes. Her classes are always so interesting and varied, I’m always excited to attend and see what interesting new things we’re going to talk about! She will cater every lesson to you and your needs. I genuinely couldn’t recommend her classes enough!"

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.
