I use references from mostly Kdrama’s scripts for example DOTS, ITAEWON CLASS and etc. I will use some textbooks too if needed. Some are taken from k pop’s songs as well as I feel that songs can help one spark their interest more in the Korean language as well.
In my 1 on 1 session, I make sure that students feel heard and understood. I share in a manner that encourage them to speak without the fear of making mistakes. Essentially, I center my attention towards the class’ objectives while taking into consideration my buddy’ level and preference.
I hope to see you soon.
– Listening [ inputs are needed before producing any output, right? 🙂 ]
– Start with things that learners are interested in [ play is a must 😛 ]
Understand the learning goal and needs, access the level of students and then will generate role plays to help students to practise their Korean language in different situations.
- Take advantage of 1 on 1 lesson! Any style can be personalized.
If you are in Ipoh, the in-person lesson is highly recommended for the extra benefits.
首先,大致有一个练习方向的同时,我会根据需要寻求灵活的调整练习内容。
会话练习我将使用韩语,每次一个中心话题来和大家交流。
语言练习我将使用单独的教材来和大家一起练习语言法。
当然如果想要练习TOPIK,我也会帮助大家练习考试题目以及考试技巧。
Depends on the student level, I will use lots of videos and sound material. So they can get a huge motivation to continue to learn korean.

? Practice with daily life chat.
? Chat topics: common daily activities, daily news etc or specifically on Kpop, Kdrama or any topic that you are interested.
? Practice makes perfect but learning quick through passion and interest.
The key to fluency lies in interaction.
It’s only when learners are using the language that they truly learn. No translation, no subtitles, no mother tongue. The most effective way for a language learner to be fluent is to simply speak the language. Real conversations. Real connections. Real progress.
