    [한국어 일상회화, 발음, 작문] 친구처럼 편하게 이야기하며 한국어 배워봐요😊😊 안녕하세요. 저는 한국에서 태어났고 서울에 거주하고 있습니다.
    사회복지학, 경제학 전공으로 대학교에서 공부하고 있어요.
    학생의 관심사와 수준에 맞추어 한국어로 수업할 예정입니다. 한국어를 잘 못해도 괜찮아요. 듣기와 말하기 연습을 같이 할 수 있습니다.
    또한 수업 시간 외에도 학생이 추가적으로 공부할 수 있도록 흥미에 맞는 콘텐츠를 추천해줄 수 있어요.
    제가 대학생이기 때문에 전문강사 경험은 부족합니다. 하지만 취미생활, 학교문화, 한국어 작문 등 10-20대의 관심사에 맞는 수업을 진행할 수 있어요.

    I'd taught many students how to sing, dance and act for 8 years. So I'm very good at teaching students something fun and easily.

    Why choose Sowon Y.
    "I had the pleasure of being tutored by Sowon, and I must say, she's a remarkable teacher. Her professionalism and patience are truly exceptional. Sowon approaches learning with a serious commitment, but once you get to know her, you'll find her warm and friendly nature. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to grasp the basics of reading Korean in just two sessions. I highly recommend Sowon as a tutor for anyone looking to learn the language with both efficiency and a smile on their face."

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.
