About Me

🌿Where Linguistic Insight Meets Natural Korean✨

Stop memorizing—start internalizing.

I am a Korean language educator and the author of *Korean Linguistics for Learners*, a five-book series exploring Korean through sound, word formation, grammar, meaning, and pragmatics.

My teaching goes beyond memorizing rules and textbook expressions. I help learners understand how Korean is structured, how meaning is built, and how the language naturally sounds and flows in communication.

**My Approach**

**Sound & Rhythm:** Understand Korean pronunciation, sound changes, rhythm, intonation, and connected speech.

**Structure & Meaning:** Discover how Korean words, sentences, and expressions are built—and why they mean what they mean.

**Cross-Linguistic Perspective:** Gain deeper insight through comparisons with English, Chinese, and other languages.

**Hanja & Vocabulary:** Explore Sino-Korean vocabulary through Hanja roots and meaningful connections.

**Beyond Memorization**

Language is more than a collection of rules. My goal is to help you develop an internal sense of how Korean works, so that understanding gradually becomes natural use.

**My Lesson Focus**

• Natural Korean pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation
• Conversation for real-life communication
• TOPIK I & II Speaking & Writing
• KIIP and OPIc preparation
• Essay writing and academic coaching

šŸŽÆ **Credentials & Expertise**

• 6,000+ online lessons taught to learners worldwide
• Korean Language Teaching Certificate (Korean government)
• TESOL & Chinese Language Teaching Certificates
• Ed.M. in Korean Language Education (HUFS)
• Three bachelor’s degrees in language-related fields
• Fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, with academic training in German and experience using French, Spanish, and Japanese resources for comparative language insights
• Experience in pronunciation training, writing coaching, and learner development

šŸŽ¬ **Teaching Style**

• Professional, approachable, and focused
• Authentic Korean materials and practical tasks
• Clear explanations and personalized feedback
• A comfortable environment for meaningful communication

**Understand Korean. Speak naturally.**
