🌸 Welcome to Spring 2026 Korean Classes 🇰🇷📚

안녕하세요! 👩🏻‍🏫 (Annyeonghaseyo!)

Hello students and parents,

🌸 Welcome to Spring 2026 Korean Classes 🇰🇷📚

Thank you again for reaching out to me in the past about learning Korean, whether for yourself or for your child. I value those conversations deeply, and I’m excited to share that Spring 2026 Korean class registration is now officially open 🌸

I’m a native Korean instructor, born and raised in Korea 🇰🇷, and I’ve spent over 20 years teaching Korean to adults, children, and professionals. Many of you originally asked about 1:1 lessons, and I wanted to personally explain why my small, structured group classes are often the most effective learning method.

At TheKoreanTutor.com, learning is:

  • Live and interactive 🧑‍🏫
  • Carefully structured 📚
  • Designed for long-term progress, not shortcuts

🎤 Speak Korean Naturally & Confidently!

🎉 The Weekly Natural Korean Speaking Lab is Now Open!

Do you know Korean grammar but hesitate to speak aloud? 🤔 You’re not alone. Many learners know the rules—but pronunciation, rhythm, and confidence are what make Korean sound natural.

That’s why I created the Weekly Natural Korean Speaking Lab—based on my experience coaching actors in Hollywood to speak Korean naturally on camera. 🎬

Why This Lab Works

Even students with strong grammar often struggle with speaking because they lack:
✅ Repeated exposure to correct pronunciation
✅ Clear modeling of native intonation
✅ Structured speaking practice
✅ Feedback on rhythm, flow, and clarity

This program focuses on speaking naturally, not memorizing more grammar. Students practice reading aloud, pronunciation, and intonation in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Who It’s For

  • Students who can read Hangeul but feel hesitant speaking 📝
  • Learners with good grammar but imperfect pronunciation
  • Anyone wanting to sound natural and confident in real conversations

Program Highlights

Children & Adults (Beginner): Build clear, confident, natural speech from the start
Adults (Intermediate): Refine pronunciation, intonation, and sentence flow to sound more native-like

A Natural Next Step in Your Korean Learning

Whether reinforcing what you already know or returning to Korean after a break, this lab helps you speak with clarity, confidence, and natural expression. 💬

✅ Sign Up Today and start speaking Korean naturally!
