About Me
Hi! My name is Heeyoung and I was born and raised in Korea. Now, I live in France with my son, where I'm learning to root myself and it is both a challenge and joy to learn another language. Because I lived outside of my home country for so long, I deeply relate to those who are going through similar experience, and I enjoy getting to know my students on a personal level. I look forward to meeting everyone who's interested in starting or continuing their journey in learning Korean.
βοΈ Me as a teacher:
I've been teaching online since 2015, and although I teach all levels, I'm most experienced with beginners and intermediate learners.
For me, getting to know you as a student and as a person are both important. How do you learn and process things? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What sparks your interest? How can the learning process be more relevant or meaningful to you?
These are the questions I ask myself as a teacher, and I will support and guide you as much as I can and adapt to your needs.
βοΈ My lessons and teaching style:
My lessons are focused on everyday conversation and "speaking". We will study vocabulary and grammar as well, but my lectures will be short. Instead, we will focus on using what you know and taking it out of your brain.
I'll wait for you to make your own sentences however long it takes. I'll here to help when you struggle. It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to be shy. It's okay to be slow. I'll help you to get better from wherever you are. But, please remember that if you want to improve, you need to also make time outside class and immerse yourself in this language.
If you want to know more about what and how I teach, please read the course descriptions below.
π COURSES π
1. BEGINNERS
Goal: Reading Korean effortlessly and feeling comfortable with basic conversation.
- Hangeul (Korean alphabets) / Reading words
- Pronunciation and intonation correction
- Basic grammar including past and future tense / Informal polite form (-μ) / Learning how to greet, ask questions and answer, and talk about locations, family, food, weather, your emotions and everyday life / Common expressions / Getting used to the different particles μ/λ, μ΄/κ°, μ/λ₯Ό etc.
We'll learn basic grammar and sentence structures and practice reading and speaking through short dialogues. I'll be teaching mostly in English at first but I'll start to limit it whenever possible.
2. PRE-INTERMEDIATE ~ INTERMEDIATE
Goal: Having longer free conversations about everyday life and on a given topic.
- Getting used to different levels of politeness, mainly the honorific form (-μ-) and informal casual.
- Advanced grammar including reported speech and common sentence endings (-λ€μ, -μμdμ, -λκ³ μ? -μ§μ?)
For this level, I'll be using textbooks with audios to listen to. I'll only try to use English when explaining grammar or something complicated.
