Hi, I’m Hyunwoo. I was born and raised in Korea, and yet, I learned to speak English naturally without ever living abroad.
Later, I added several languages to my daily life, including Japanese, French, Spanish and Chinese.
Through my own language journey, I discovered that learning a language isn’t about where you live or how talented you are.
It’s about consistency, curiosity, and human connection.
That’s the belief behind Talk To Me In Korean: that anyone can learn to use Korean comfortably and confidently, no matter where they are in the world.
What we believe
Language learning works best when it feels human, builds consistency, and sparks curiosity.
That belief shapes every course and learning experience we create. Not quick wins, but steady progress you can feel.
Who we are
Built by lifelong language learners, not just teachers.
We know what it feels like to be a beginner because we’ve all been there.
Talk To Me In Korean was created by people who live and breathe language learning, starting with our founder, who learned several languages without living abroad.
That belief grew into a team of passionate educators who love languages as much as they love teaching them.
What This Means for You
- You don’t need to live in Korea to be fluent in Korean.
- You don’t need a “talent” for languages to succeed.
- You learn on your own time, supported by a structured curriculum that grows with you.
