Hello my name is Maria and I am currently living in my homeland, South Korea. Before that, I lived in California for over 30 years studying education while also raising my 3 children! And going even further back into the past, I actually originally immigrated to Argentina first and spent 3 years there speaking only in Spanish and attended Buenos Aires University for a bit (yes, sometimes I can’t believe the adventurous life I’ve lived)!
안녕하세요, 김마리아입니다~ 저는 캘리포나이 살다 온 재미교포입니다.
저는 20 살에 유학을 가서 대학교을 졸업하고 결혼을 해서 삼남매를 키운 후에 10년 전에 한국에 왔어요.
Hola, me llamo Maria Kim. Soy coreana pero aprendé español en Bueños Aires Arentina.
Eba esceula secondario por dos años y la universidad por un año.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I want to share my rich experience in language learning along with the different cultures as well. As someone who is bilingual (and at one point, trilingual^^) and had to learn 2 different foreign languages at an older age, I understand how challenging language learning can be. But I also believe that learning languages goes beyond words and experiencing the culture is as equally important.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I welcome all levels! You can be a beginner or advanced learner!
We will focus on speaking and slowly incorporate important grammar patterns.
Whether you want to learn Korean or English, I'll send you key learning points and voice recordings for you to go over after our lesson^^ I can't wait to meet you~
**I recommend meeting at least 2 times a week if you really want to see a difference**
**실력을 향상시키려면 적어도 일주일에 두 번이상 하시길 추천합니다**
If you tell Maria쌤 that you want to speak like a seriously real korean, she will do everything to help you! i really want to get my pronunciation in check, and so she does a great job in stopping me, making me speak slower and really speak like a true Korean. it's not easy and even tho im not perfect, im glad to get constant feedback.

I can't believe that it has already been 9 months with Maria! Honestly, I see her more than I hang out with my friends lol! I regularly surprise myself with how much I remember every time I'm in lesson thanks to Maria's style of teaching! In my recent lessons, Maria has been correcting my pronunciation, so that I can speak Korean without too much of an accent. She makes me feel respected by challenging me. I cannot even count how many times I have had to repeat sentences until I get the nuances of the pronunciation just right, but Maria knows that I thrive on it! I cannot recommend her enough!

I'm so grateful that I found Maria선생님! I said I wanted to practice my conversational skills so we have the most fun and interesting discussions every week. She really challenges me to stay immersed in the language while being so encouraging and helpful. I feel myself improving after each lesson. Highly, highly recommend!
