🌸 Help Keep Korean Learning Authentic

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. 🌷

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful students, families, and visitors through my lessons and TheKoreanTutor.com. Since 2005, teaching Korean has been not just my career, but my greatest passion. I’ve dedicated nearly 20 years to developing my own Focus Korean Textbook Series and to building lessons that truly support both children and adults from the ground up — starting with the very foundation of Hangeul.

With the growing popularity of Korean culture — from K-pop and K-dramas to Korean media — more companies and individuals are rushing to offer Korean lessons. Recently, I’ve noticed that parts of my teaching materials and website content have been used without permission. What’s most concerning is that some of these tutors are offering Korean classes, especially for children, without the proper foundation or experience to guide them. Many of them are also gathering more reviews online right now, but as you know, numbers don’t always tell the real story. What matters most is the authenticity and care behind the teaching. As you know, learning a language — especially for kids — requires care, structure, and true expertise.

That’s why I’m reaching out with a personal request. If my classes, resources, or guidance have ever been helpful to you (or to your child), would you take just 5–10 minutes to leave me a genuine review?

Unlike businesses that rely on purchased or copied reviews, the words from my students and their families are real, heartfelt, and filled with the memories of our time learning together. Your review not only supports me — it also helps future students find a trustworthy place to begin their own journey with Korean.

Here are the links where you can leave a review (you can choose one or copy/paste your review across all):

👉 Google Review link

👉 Yelp Review link

👉 Facebook Review link

👉 LinkedIn Review link

Your kindness and support will help me continue doing what I love: teaching Korean, guiding the next generation of learners, and sharing the beauty of Korean language, culture, and history.

Thank you so much for your time, your trust, and your continued encouragement. I truly couldn’t do this without you.
 

Warm regards,
Suebeet Kim

Korean New Coinage: 웃프다 (Funny and Sad)

Screen Shot 2019-08-09 at 12.44.36 PM.png

신조어 (New Coinage)

웃프다: Something is funny enough to laugh, but hurts feeling on the one hand 

As we live, we encounter a situation in which we feel multiple emotions at the same time. These complicated situations are hard to be defined with only a single emotion – sadness, fun, or anger. We sometimes feel fun or angry in the midst of sadness and suddenly start to smile.  Of the many combinations of various emotions, the word referring to fun and laughter that turns into sadness is called “웃프다 (funny and sad at the same time).” It is a combination of “웃-” from “웃기다 (funny)” and “-프다” from “슬프다 (sad).” You can say “웃픈 날이다 (Today is a funny and a sad day)”, “웃픈 이야기 (a story that is both funny and sad)” and “웃퍼요 (someone/something that is funny and sad).”

Korean Everyday Conversation: 다 와 가 (I am almost there)

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 8.55.38 AMScreen Shot 2018-04-26 at 8.56.16 AM

Korean Everyday Conversation (일상회화)

다 와 가 (I am almost there)

다 와 가 is used when we say that we almost arrived at the appointed place to the person who we are supposed to meet.  We normally use 가다 when we are moving towards the target place instead of 오다 which is used when someone is moving towards the speaker.  For example, if we are at school, we say 학교에 와 (come to school) or 집에 가 (go home) to the listener.  On the contrary, if we are home, we say 학교에 가 (go to school) or 집에 와 (come home).  However, you have to pay attention to the fact that we say 다 와 가 by using 오다  even though the speaker is moving towards the listener.
