Effective Korean Classes for English-Speaking Expats

If you're attempting to learn Korean - either you're a beginner just starting out, you've been trying to learn but have been struggling due to any number of reasons , or maybe you're actually doing pretty well and want to keep getting better, then I invite you to give this program some serious consideration.

Now, I fully realize that as the creator of this program I am entirely biased (and that it's "easy for me to say") but hear me out...

I have been teaching the Korean language for more than 15 years now (and taught English successfully for 11 years as well before selling our English school) and everything I say on this site is speaking from experience.

Either my own experience, or about the experiences and results of past students who have told or written to me over the years, and continue to do so (a small fraction of which you can read about on this page).

We all have our reasons for wanting to learn, and those provide the drive for us to keep going, yet, we all have our struggles as well; the things we feel hold us back from improving, either at all, or at a pace we maybe wish we were capable of,  that perhaps other people seem capable of.

Some of these obstacles are internal: feeling like we're just not good at languages, we're not capable of remembering vocab and structures, we feel we're too old, or just in general that "you'll never get it";

And some of them are external: some people feel they don't have access to decent classes, their schedule or family life holds them back from attending classes or putting the necessary time in, or for some it's location and proximity to people who can help.

And for many people they experience this overwhelming sense of difficulty because they struggle with a combination of a few of those things.

But the reality is, while these problems can affect the pace at which you can progress.. 

For example a father who works to support his family and literally only has 30 minutes a day to dedicate to this is totally going to progress slower than if he could (and did) put in 2 hours per day.

But that doesn't mean you can't still make good, efficient progress.  It just means you absolutely have to cut out the ineffective activities that don't progress your speaking ability forward, and focus on the steps that do.

Often times these struggles are only obstacles, only problems because we are not yet aware of a better solution.

Often times we take the natural plan of signing up to a course or finding a "language partner" to help, but unfortunately the vast majority of these classes and exchanges are run by people who, despite their best intentions:

(A) just grew up knowing their language and therefor have very little insight into how the language actually works and can not give you the answers to the "how" and "why" that you need to make sense of this language.

And/or...(often "and")...

(B) they take very little time, if any at all, to give real thought to what is going to actually help you progress, and furthermore, what is going to help you make progress DESPITE the obstacles in your way.

And while I could go on and on about all the things we have included in this course (the videos, the worksheets and all that stuff), personally I feel the real powerful elements - the hinges that are swinging the biggest doors for people and helping them make tangible, noticeable, (and usually immediate) progress, is this:

We help people make tangible, noticeable improvement (often immediately) because we put a heavy focus on a couple key areas:

1) We give simple explanations in plain English of how and why the language works the way it does, and we deliver them in a way that is easy to understand making them simple to grasp and improve from.

These explanations are delivered by an experienced language teacher who also happened to start learning Korean exactly where you did (from nothing) and can help explain the "ins and outs" all from a perspective of a native English speaker who's been through it.

However, while "learning and understanding" the language in a way that is easy to apply is helpful and will help shortcut the process...

Input alone is not enough. What helps make this program as successful as it has been for people is that...

2) We put very strong emphasis on the key step to developing speaking ability and confidence, to developing ANY skill for that matter, which is structured and "deliberate practice".

The word "fluency" can hold different definitions to different people, however ALL definitions will include a person's ability to get words, sentences and thoughts to come out of their mouth without much effort or conscious thought.

Through purposefully-structured practice, this is the result we focus on and help people get.

3) And lastly, we structure the program to fit in and around your life and learning preferences so that no matter what you struggle with, no matter what you feel is holding you back, we form a plan that works for you and helps ensure you make progress.

I won't go on too much more here but if you've ever struggled with any of what I mentioned above, then I invite you to check us out some more.

As you'll see when you click on one of the big blue buttons on this page to create your free account, the first step is to just ask you a few questions about yourself, your experience and your current situation.

From that, we make a recommendation on which system you should consider giving a try.

In the 15+ years I've been teaching Korean, I've helped thousands of people improve their Korean, DESPITE any struggles they may have already experienced, and I'm confident I can help you as well.

And if you're one of those who really feel like you really do lie in the fringes of all this and just can't be helped, you can find my email at the bottom of this page.

Get in touch and let me know why, and let's see if we can work together to help fix it.

Honestly, what have you got to lose? Nothing except a bit of time, but chances are you're losing that anyways trying solutions that just aren't working for you.

So again, if you're serious about learning this language, then I invite you to create your membership and check out for yourself why people again and again call KDA "the best program" they've ever tried.
