Korean and English are very different languages.
The way people say thing is different and the word order is also very different.
(In Korean, the verb comes last).
For example, in English, we say "What are you talking about?"
But in Korean, we say "What kind of saying is it? (=무슨 말이에요?)"
Also, in English, we say "Happy birthday."
But in Korean, we say "Birthday congratulations (= 생일 축하해요)."
Example like these show just how different English and Korean are.
If we literally translate English to Korean, it sound very unnatural.
So, when we study Korean, memorizing natural Korean sentences is very important.
I will teach you how to make natural Korean sentences.My lessons & teaching style
<Curriculum>
- If you are a beginner -
1. We can learn the Korean alphabet and practice reading Korean sentences.
2. And we can read natural Korean conversation books I have.
(I will break down all sentences and explain all vocabulary and grammar structures of sentences.)
- If you are intermediate or advanced -
1. we can read natural Korean conversation books I have.
(I will break down all sentences and explain all vocabulary and grammar structures of sentences.)
2. Or we can have conversation practice.
I will help you say what you want to say in Korean, naturally.
I will also type every sentence we say on Google doc and give you the link.
So, you can review easily.My teaching material

Danny/지훈 is probably the best teacher on this website, and has been one of the greatest resources for me as I continue to learn Korean.
He is super accommodating to all of my requests, answers every question extremely thoroughly, and is extremely knowledgeable about Korean.
His English is excellent as well, so beginners like myself will have no problem asking questions in English. I have had no problems understanding Danny whenever he was explaining something to me.
Obviously his Korean is excellent as well, and can teach in however way you want. Currently I want to learn formal (존대말) and so he has been teaching me in exclusively that.
If you can schedule a lesson with Danny, I would highly recommend it. His price is extremely fair, and what you get out of it will help you a ton.

I really enjoyed the lesson, it was fun and the conversation flowed very easily. I would highly recommend this teacher because you will learn well and have very nice conversations at the same time.

Jihun is such a patient and amazing teacher. I really felt lost when I started to learn korean, but his lectures are so well structured and make korean grammar look so easy to understand. We go through so many sentences, and the grammar keeps repeating itself, and slowly, I keep recognising it! It's amazing, and I think it's the best way to learn this language : ) I feel very comfortable with Jihun and will hopefully continue taking lessons for a long time : )

I completed my language challenge month with Danny. He is definitely a Super GOOD teacher. He is patient，polite， easygoing， helpful and always find a way to make the conversation interesting. If you're looking for someone to improve your oral korean, Danny is the NO.1 choice.Thank you, Danny.

Jihun is a great teacher. He always provides topics for our next class, writes the conversation down so you can review it later, and provides good corrections. He's fun to talk with and always asks lots of questions.
