About CJ
Want to learn Korean but don't know where to start? Frustrated at the lack of progress despite spending hours practicing and studying?
13 years ago I was in the same position as you are now. I had watched countless hours of YouTube tutorials, memorized hundreds upon hundreds of words, and I consistently spent at least 2 hours studying every single day for 2 whole years. That's over 1400 hours of study!
Despite all this, I still felt like I wasn't making any progress. Standing outside the Incheon airport going back and forth with the bus driver trying to figure out where I'm supposed to go I realized for the first time that learning a language is a life-long endeavor. If I can't commit the rest of my life to learning the language then I probably won't get far and might as well give up.
And so I committed.
Now 13 years later I can confidently say that I speak Korean. I got the highest placement at King Sejong Institute Foundation. I've lived and worked in Korea for over 4 years. I've flatted with other Koreans for 2 years in a full Korean immersion environment and I have many years of experience as both an English and Korean teacher.
It's taken me over 10 years of trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn't. I can save you that time and that headache. It won't be easy but it will be worth it and a whole new world of opportunity and adventure will open up to you.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
The lesson hours will be spent working on grammar and phrases. I'll also give you words to memorize throughout the week. At the end of the month you will have the opportunity to practice what you've learned with my Korean partner. (Free of charge)
I will share my Google Drive folder which contains all the resources and materials we need.
After one year you will
- have learned 1000 words
- know how to create your own sentences
- be able to understand and participate in most casual conversations
And most importantly, you will have built consistent study habits necessary to go the distance and see your dreams of fluency become a reality.
Have a favorite K-drama? We can dissect clips and slowly work up to watching a full episode without subtitles. Fan of manhwa / web toons? We can read that together to learn new genre-specific vocabularies and phrases.
Take advantage of the first free lesson. Even if you decide not to learn from me, during that hour I will help you to create a study plan tailored to your personal goals and interests. Including my top 3 apps I recommend to learn Korean. The lessons are flexible, fun and practical. Give it a shot!

솔직히 말해서 한국인보다 언어 구사력이 뛰어나고 발음이 정확해서 목소리만 놓고 들으면 그냥 한국인 같아요. 외국인이라는 생각이 안 들어여... 강추합니닷.
To be honest, their command of language is better than that of Koreans and their pronunciation is so accurate that just by hearing their voices, they sound like Koreans. I don't feel like I'm a foreigner... I highly recommend it.Amazing at Korean and such a thorough patient teacher. 10/10
I have a lot of non-Korean friends in Korea, but CJ was by far the best Korean speaking friend I’ve ever met! Not only he speaks well, he has a deep understanding of the Korean culture. If you are looking for a Korean tutor who can teach you “real-life everyday Korean”, he’s the right person to speak to.
I highly recommend CJ as a Korean tutor! We met through our shared interest in language learning, and I was immediately impressed by CJ’s exceptional Korean skills. His pronunciation, vocabulary, and cultural understanding are at a near-native level, making learning with him both enjoyable and effective.
I’ve also had the chance to learn English from CJ, and I can confidently say that he is an amazing teacher. He explains things clearly, makes learning practical, and always ensures that his students feel comfortable using what they’ve learned in real-life situations.
If you want to sound like a native and impress Koreans, take CJ’s lessons ;) If you just want to memorize textbooks… well, good luck with that hahaI've been learning Korean from CJ for a long time now. The lessons are very fun. I'm making a lot of progress and I'm getting ready to visit Korea this year! Thank you !
CJ is very good at speaking Korean. When we meet in Korea we never have any language barrier. He studied very diligently and I'm proud of him.

He’s such a great teacher! I’m a Korean learning English, and he helps me with expressions that are hard for me to translate.
