    대화하듯 편안한 분위기에서 즐겁고 센스있게 한국어를 가르치는 준비된 튜터 안녕하세요!
    저는 대한민국 서울에서 태어났고 서울에서 자란 한국인 선생님 입니다.
    전 한국의 화장품 회사에서 15년 가까이 Brand Manager로 일을 했습니다. 그리고 지금은 한국의 아이들에게 한글과 수학, 독서활동을 통한 창의력 교육을 하고 있어요.
    전 여러분들이 한국어를 어렵지 않고 친숙하게 익힐 수 있도록 도와드릴 수 있어요. 그리고 서로 다른 목적을 가지고 한국어를 배우려는 분들에 맞춰 맞춤 수업을 진행합니다.
    전 요리하는 것을 좋아해요. 새로운 요리에도 관심이 있구요, 한국 음식을 어떻게 하면 맛있게 만들 수 있는지 궁금하다면 알려드릴 수도 있어요:)

    Why choose 혜정 홍.
    "Teacher 혜정 홍 does a good job. Her pleasant personality creates a good learning environment. She helps students express their thoughts in Korean phrases and sentences. She writes helpful notes in the chat. She gladly answered any questions I asked. As for the type of lessons: She can have conversations with students or she can also teach academic & structured lessons. Or she can do a combination of some conversation and some structured instructions in the same lesson. The majority of Preply tutors at her price are not capable of providing structured lessons. In our trial lesson, we talked a lot to get to know each other better. Her structured lessons are interactive. After she teaches and explains things, she helps students practice this, usually by having students say things about their themselves or about topics they like. She uses teaching material from the Korean website, King Sejong Institute, which has lots of free Korean material."

    I would love to give you lessons that are as easy as studying with a friend! Hello my name is JinHyeok, I like learning languages. so I study a lot about linguistics!
    I have helped my friends who learn a foreign language and I myself am passionate about studying a language. I understand how much you struggle to learn, I would like to help people who have started to study Korean but are discouraged because of the grammar.

    Why choose JinHyeok O.
    "I highly recommend JinHyeok as a tutor. His teaching method is very effective in helping me understand the structure of phrases better and faster. After just three lessons, I find myself able to guess words and intuitively grasp their meanings, which is truly awesome. Our lessons go beyond just language learning; I feel immersed in cultural adventure. The open environment JinHyeok creates allows me to ask questions freely, which is incredibly helpful when tackling such a difficult language. Overall, a fantastic experience!"

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.
