Instructor: Yonghi
Location: Online via Zoom
Level: Beginner with some formal experience / Upper beginner
Age: Adults 18+
Class Size: Minimum 2 students; Maximum 5 students

Materials Needed: All materials will be provided.

The instructor will follow the textbook “My Korean 1” as a guide for this class. The content of the class is also directed by student interest and inquiry as topics naturally occur. A physical textbook may be purchased, but a digital version will be provided. The class is not completely dependent on the text and instruction may include videos, websites, movies, or TV shows, and other organizers. The instructor will check often for understanding, repeating directions, and providing modeling for students.

The pace of this class will move relatively quickly. Students will be asked to complete some homework independent from the scheduled once a week classes. It’s important for students to complete the assigned homework prior to each session in order to maximize progress!

If you’re looking for a class that takes things a bit more slowly, fill our our waitlist link above, and we’ll have something for you in the fall!

What can I expect to learn?

This class is part 2 of our 4 part series “My Korean Lesson”. In this level, students will be introduced to the basic vocabulary, grammar, and expressions relevant to real-life situations by engaging in a variety of activities that focus on developing listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills in Korean.

By the end of this class, you should be comfortable with the following: Talking about time/days, making appointments, daily routines, holidays, ordering food, talking about weather, counting, asking about cost when shopping, colors, discussing what you studied, asking personal questions, talking about your family, writing simple text messages, and more.

After completing this level, most students will be prepared for the early levels of the TOPIK test (Test of Proficiency in Korean).

Korean with Yonghi was great! She made learning fun and used a lot of materials from our interests like K-pop to keep us engaged. I highly recommend her course!

about the instructor

Hello, 안녕하세요? I am Yonghi (or Julie). I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea and have been a language instructor for over 20 years. I am proud that I have a very standard Korean accent and even worked as a radio reporter for 2 years. I have a BA in English Language, an MA in Korean Literature and Creative Writing, TESOL certification, and Korean School Teacher Certification. I taught mostly English in Korea, but when I came to America about 25 years ago, I began teaching more Korean language. Especially after finishing my master’s degree in Korean Literature and Creative Writing, I realized teaching Korean is a more meaningful mission for me. So, I completed multiple levels of Korean School Teacher Certification programs from The Overseas Koreans Foundation. 

I previously taught students from pre-school to graduate school at a local Korean school, lectured in University of Texas El Paso’s STARTALK program, a federal grant foreign language program funded by NSA for Korean language, and instructured high school foreign language credit courses at online schools. I also frequently do freelance translation/interpretation work remotely or in person and private tutoring for all ages.

My goal for my language class is that students can learn Korean as if they’re in Korea. I also focus on topics that students are interested in and develop my lesson plans based on students’ needs and interests, and I introduce culture and history throughout the course.  I am fully aware of students’ busy schedules and work hard to make the most of our time. I treat all my students as I do my own 3 children and am flexible, patient, and professional.

In my spare time, I love watching movies, singing with my piano or guitar, writing short stories, volunteering at various places, and traveling with my family.

I am looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm for the Korean language with you and helping you speak fluently. Most importantly, I hope  that you can enjoy and have fun in the process of learning this beautiful language. Hope to see you in my class!
