안녕하세요, I’m Minji.
I grew up and studied in Seoul, and I now teach Korean from Toulouse, France. I’ve been teaching languages for over fifteen years. Lessons follow a clear structure, and I adjust the pace and content to each student.
My background
- Bachelor’s degree in Teaching Korean as a Foreign Language
- Korean Language Teacher Certificate (opens in a new tab), Level 2 (한국어교원 2급), a South Korean national qualification
- French literature studies at Sogang University in Seoul, including master’s-level coursework
We start from your current level and build the lessons around your goals and interests.
What we’ll learn
Lessons are available in English. I mainly use Sejong Korean textbooks. The textbooks are in Korean, with English instructions included at beginner level. PDFs and suggested homework help you practice between lessons. Before each lesson, I send a vocabulary sheet, and we start the next lesson with a short quiz to review it.
Complete beginners
We’ll begin with Hangeul (한글), the Korean writing system: recognizing and combining letters, reading and writing your first words, and building accurate pronunciation step by step.
Already reading Hangeul
We’ll work on useful basic grammar and vocabulary so you can understand and build everyday Korean sentences. Lessons can include textbooks, PDFs, audio, and video.
Intermediate or advanced
We’ll work on topics that interest you, focusing on vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, sentence patterns, and nuance. We use textbooks or selected articles, audio, and video.
After each lesson, I’ll suggest homework to help you review what we covered.
