About me
Hi! I'm Yeonji ✿
Hello! I'm Yeonji, living in Busan, South Korea 🇰🇷 I'm an indie hacker and a language learner who loves to travel and create new side projects. I also enjoy playing the haegeum as a hobby!
I want to help you learn Korean in a fun and natural way, just like chatting with a friend. As a language learner myself, I know how it feels to understand a lot and then freeze when it's your turn to speak — so we'll practise speaking from day one.
Since I create mobile apps and websites, I bring my own digital tools into our lessons: slides that react as you answer, clips cut to the exact sentence, and a shadowing page you can loop line by line.

If you want a sweet, supportive tutor who makes learning Korean a blast, book Yeonji! She customizes our lessons around things I actually enjoy, like my favorite K-pop artists, which keeps me so motivated. She’s helped me bridge the gaps in my learning and finally understand how to build real sentences. I feel ten times more confident speaking and studying Korean now. Five stars! 늘 밝은 미소와 따뜻한 마음으로 가르쳐 주셔서 감사해요.
How lessons go
Here's a real lesson. Click through it.
These are slides from an actual first lesson — Korean dessert trends and the 요 ending. Click the slide or use the arrow keys. Cards flip when you answer, just like in class.

First lesson: get to know you
We chat, I check your level, and you tell me what you want Korean for. No pressure if you are a total beginner.
- 2
Slides built around you
Every lesson has a deck made for you — a topic you like, one grammar point you can actually use by the end, and lots of speaking.
- 3
Real Korean clips
Short pieces of real videos, cut to the sentence, so you hear how people really speak — speed, slang and all.

A review page after class
You get the words, sentences and corrections from that lesson to look back on before the next one.
Between lessons
Practise with my shadowing tool
Shadowing = listen to one sentence, then say it back right away, copying the rhythm. My students use this between lessons. Try it on a real Korean YouTube video: loop a line, tap a word, say it out loud.
Tap any word to see what each part means. Press ↻ to loop a line with a pause to say it back.

From now on, I'm going to live as a game addict for one week.
14시간씩 될지.
What exactly happens to your body if you do nothing but game for 14 hours a day?
12시 40분이고요.
For reference, it's 12:40 right now.
14 겁니다.
I'll put a timer on screen that can't be adjusted, and fill 14 hours every day.
최대, 물어봤거든요.
Before starting, I asked the gamers around me who play a fair bit how many hours they'd game at most in a day.
10시간은 같아요.
Even at the very least, I think it goes over 10 hours.
?
In a day?
네, 평균적으로.
Yes, on average.

Try it with almost no risk. If the first lesson isn't right for you, tell me within 7 days and I'll refund the rest — you only pay $12 for that first lesson. No forms, just an email. Details
Prices in USD, billed every 4 weeks; times shown in your own time zone when you book.
I’m a complete beginner. Is that OK?
Absolutely. We start with 한글 (it takes a few lessons, not months) and you’ll be saying real sentences from the first lesson. I explain in English.
Where do lessons happen?
Online, on a video call. After you book I email you the link and everything you need for the first lesson.
What if I need to move a lesson?
Tell me at least 24 hours before and we’ll find another time that week. Life happens — I’d rather move a lesson than have you miss it.
How does billing work?
You pay once every 4 weeks — that’s exactly 4, 8 or 16 lessons, no half-weeks — and keep the same weekly time(s). You can change plans or cancel any time — cancelling stops the next payment and you keep the lessons you’ve paid for.
What’s the refund policy?
If the first lesson isn’t right for you, email me within 7 days of it and I’ll refund your first 4 weeks minus a flat $12 for that lesson — for example $67 back on the 8-lesson plan.
Do you teach anything besides conversation?
Yes — grammar, pronunciation, TOPIK prep, reading webtoons or song lyrics, writing messages to Korean friends. Tell me what you need and I’ll build lessons around it.
