The type of courses we offer:

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Korean

These Korean lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students who have a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Koreanrequired for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local populationstudents then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Korean-culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Korean examination.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Korean

Korean lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Korean to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in the import/export business, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Even our most basic lesson for beginners will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Korean, as well as survival Korean should a short stay in the country is needed.

korean Songs

“아리랑” (Arirang)

Listen to popular Korean songs to learn useful vocabulary, develop your pronunciation and about the culture and beliefs of native speakers! For example, Arirang is a piece that talks about a woman whose lover stops caring about her. She ultimately loses the love of her life and travels throughout Korea to find him. So, you will get familiar with words that express love, sorrow and heartbreak, as well as with geographic locations in the country and words related to landscapes, such as hills (eondeog), clear sky (malg-eun haneul) or long rivers (gin gang).

korean Songs

Spring Day- BTS

Are you a BTS fan looking to improve their Korean skills? Then, catchy, upbeat songs, like Spring Day, can be your best allies. This specific piece talks about two lovers who hate the passing of time because they are not together, and it is great for beginners because it does not include any complicated structures or vocabulary. In fact, the song is entirely in the present-simple tense and uses everyday terms related to feelings, such as hate, love, heart or kiss. Plus, it has a fairly slow pace and a lot of repetition, so you can sing along to the song and practise your pronunciation! Listen to this piece here!

Lonely- 2NE1

If K-pop is one of your passions, why not combine it with your Korean studies to improve your skills in a meaningful way? For example, you can listen to Lonely, one of the most well-known hits by 2NE1, a girl K-pop band. The song is about a girl who decides to get over a heartbreak and move on. Instead of feeling lonely and sad about this situation, she realises she needs to get together with her friends and do things that make her happy. The song is great for advanced students because it features a lot of idioms and colloquial phrases. Listen to this piece here!
