Korean Tutors in Pyeongtaek

 

UPDATE: All current blogging for area recommendations has moved to the blog South of Seoul.

 

Finding a Korean tutor in Pyeongtaek can be maddening.

Thankfully, I know two amazing ones!

Introducing Sue and Jennifer!

Jennifer Teacher

Sue Teacher

These two wonderful teachers just finished up an intense two year certification aimed at teaching Korean to foreigners and they are ready to help you get to the next level.  If you are just getting started, or you need to get over a learning hump, these women can help you succeed in learning Korean.

Personally, I'm lucky enough to have called them friends for four years, as well as taught English with them and learned Korean from them.  I can attest to the fact that they are excellent at explaining concepts and helping you find answers to your questions.  

It was so exciting when they received their Korean Teaching certificates because suddenly I could recommend not one, but TWO qualified Korean Tutors available in Pyeongtaek. As a bonus, they both speak excellent English!

Seriously, they are the best.

Home Grown Korean

My students creating my daily lesson plan.

 Learning to speak a language "fluently" is a beast.

It's so much harder than just memorizing vocabulary.

You have to learn new social rules, 

new assumptions, 

new gestures,

and new ideas.

It's an entirely new way of thinking about the world.

Right about the time you think you are getting ahead,

something happens that knocks you back a bit.

In short, its a long climb up a long, hard hill.

Which is why I study Korean 

rain or shine.
My kids face this challenge every day,
and I need to face it with them.

Recently,

after suffering from after holiday mind mud,

I found myself searching for direction,
in both teaching English and learning Korean.

What I found was the awesome:

www.memerise.com

TOPIK vocabulary list

Memerise makes studying vocabulary
 rad, cool, awesome and fun.

They link learning to the concept of gardening.

Thus creating the best tool, by far, 

for getting your head back in the game of learning.

It also has something other study systems don't have:

A built in system for 

systematically reviewing 

vocabulary over time.

This feature is a huge deal,

it ensures you truly know your stuff!

It might also give you great ideas

on how to make learning more fun for your students.
Come on now,
it's time your language skills grew up.
