Why Study With Essential Korean
Expertise
With two decades of experience teaching Korean at university, I understand what students need when learning the language and the role of a teacher in that process. Our podcast, courses, and resources reflect that understanding and our uncompromised commitment to responsible teaching.
Targeted
The overwhelming amount of material for learning Korean on the Internet makes it hard to know how to plan your learning. Through thoughtful organization and presentation of our content, we help you target your needs and goals as you become a confident speaker of Korean.
Achievable
Learning Korean can and should be fun. From having those "aha" moments when you finally get difficult grammar concepts to applying what you learn to connect with the people and the culture, our robust beginner-level program means you can get to that point quickly and with ease.

I've been studying Korean for about 10 months and have used both free and paid online resources. While there are a lot of online learning opportunities, Essential Korean is the only resource I've found that provides the repetitive drilling and testing that I need to make sure I've learned something.
