Me as a Teacher
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.

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 enjoy my time with Jihun! I am going on my 5th lesson with him and we are flowing on through. He is very patient and kind, which makes me feel more comfortable while in the lesson. Although learning a language is challenging, Jihun makes it seem very simple for me! 😊

I follow Jihun on Instagram because I like his calm and patient energy and the way he teaches. When I saw him on iTalkie I wanted to experience his teaching style in person and I must say I am so happy.
He explains things so well and understandably and encourages you.
He breaks the words down and explains everything so detailed that it is easy to understand and even grammar is not overwhelming this way. Thank you, Jihun. I appreciate your time and our lesson.
