Beyond the textbook.
Words you want to use,
one at a time.
“I want to order at a café on my own.”
“I want to talk more with my Korean friends.”
“How do I use that phrase I heard in a drama?”
Small moments of curiosity are a great place to start.
We’ll combine pronunciation, useful expressions and conversation practice around your level and goals. Along the way, we’ll talk about life and culture in Korea, at a pace that feels right for you.

From the screen to your day.
Watch short scenes from Korean dramas on Netflix and other services together, exploring expressions and tone. Then try the nuances that subtitles alone can miss in your own conversation.
Jinjjayo?진짜요?
Really? / Is that so?오늘 바로 쓰는 한국어
A little Korean,
starting today.
Cafés, restaurants, shopping and conversations like those in dramas. Learn everyday phrases with the situations that bring them to life.
The readings are a guide. We will practise the sounds of Korean together in the lesson.
카페에서
Aa hanayo!
아아 하나요!
One iced Americano, please!
A tip from Park
“아아” is short for “아이스 아메리카노”, a casual way to order an iced Americano in Korean cafés. For a clearer, fuller order, say “아이스 아메리카노 한 잔 주세요.” We’ll practise the tone and when to use each version.
Behind every language are people and culture.
02 / 반가워요, 박 선생님
Natural Korean.
Relaxed and enjoyable.
ParkPark
Hello, I’m Park. I was born in Korea, graduated from university there and worked in Korea before spending about a year and a half in Canada. I’ve lived in Tokyo since 2010 and am now based in Higashikurume.
Languages: Korean, Japanese and English
I also work in inbound tourism marketing for Japan, reaching audiences in Korea and other countries. Through Korean translation, interpreting and native-language review, I’ve focused on language that connects people in Japan and Korea. I care about natural expressions that fit the situation and the relationship, and I shape lessons around what each learner wants to say.

Let your favourite drama start the conversation.
Tell us about a Netflix show or another drama you enjoy. We’ll watch a short scene together, check what you hear and explore how the characters’ relationship and situation shape their words.

Who are the lessons for?
Adults of all ages are welcome, from complete beginners to learners looking for more conversation practice. We’ll discuss your goals and current level to suggest suitable lessons.
Can I use my existing textbook?
Yes. Let us know the title and how far you’ve studied in advance. We can use it to continue or review. If you don’t have a textbook, we can suggest original materials for your interests and level. Any AI-assisted materials are checked by the teacher before use.
Do I need to attend on a fixed day?
No. We’ll arrange dates and times on weekday evenings after 6:30 pm or weekends. Your preferred time may not always be available, depending on the venue and teacher’s schedule.
Can I join with one or two friends?

What about venues, payment and cancellation?
We’ll explain the venue, payment methods and change or cancellation terms before you confirm. Standard venue fees are included in the lesson price. Cancellations after a rental venue has been booked may incur a cancellation fee disclosed in advance. An inquiry alone does not confirm a booking.

We’ll practise natural expressions and the appropriate level of politeness for the person and situation. Please tell us about your industry and learning goals in advance.
