    Certified tutor with 5+ years of experience. Hello. I'm Jane.
    I have been teaching Korean for over 5 years at a Korean language school in Indonesia.
    I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, but I have lived in Australia and Indonesia for over 10 years, so I understand the difficulties of learning a foreign language. Therefore, I can teach practical Korean in an easy and fun way.

    Why choose Jane K.
    "Jane is a great tutor and person as well. I was looking for someone who can help me to start from scratch, although I've been learning Korean before, and she is definitely the one I’d love to continue studying with. Jane is responsive, punctual, and organized too. We had only several classes, but I have already learned lots of new words and useful information. Highly recommended :) "

    Master your Korean with an experienced native teacher! Hello, I am Suyeon from Seoul, Korea. I was born and raised in Korea and then moved to Canada in 2017. I like watching movies and TV series in my spare time. And I also enjoy going on a gourmet tour.
    I have more than 6 years of teaching experience. I believe that learning should be fun not painful.

    Why choose Suyeon L.
    "I just had my first lesson with Suyeon as an upper beginner. It went really well! It was well structured and fit my learning style. We started with short conversations, then vocabulary and pronunciation, a small bit of grammar, and then forming sentences and describing scenes with the new vocabulary and grammar structures. I look forward to our future sessions. Suyeon was very well prepared, assigned homework, and very timely with sending supplemental information."

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.
