⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
안녕하세요! I am a certified professional Korean strategist 'Shinnie' registered with the government, ranked first among all teachers (13 years of teaching experience; schools, academies, overseas, and private lessons).
I
✅Offer patient, systematic, natural lessons catering to all levels, ages, problems, and requests.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My students
✅Could have casual conversations on many topics in just 3 months.
✅Achieved native-like fluency in Korean from zero in 1 year (2 years if they had learned the wrong way from other teachers).
✅Passed KIIP 4, 5, TOPIK 3, 4, 5, 6 on their first attempt.
✅Successfully corrected resumes, cover letters, and passed interviews with prestigious companies such as HYBE Entertainment, Netflix, and Korean companies.
✅Achieved first place in speaking contests and secured scholarships
✅Took lessons to become a singer with Gangnam Style Psy's agency vocalist, with me as the interpreter.
✅Get a pronunciation guide from an American audio recording company.
✅Translated everything on their website.

📌 I'll be honest. If you have talent for the Korean language, you can learn with anything. But, if you don't have exceptional talent, you can't improve while making regression mistakes. AI, translators, universities, the internet, textbooks, and random, flattering free-talking teachers always give you typical misinformation without any warnings about regression points. That's how even 10-year learners eventually stagnate and regress. Without the right materials, it's just a scam.
➡️ But, if you know all the problems first, you can improve independently and accomplish your goal faster than anyone else, regardless of your age, goals, or even disability like my all students.

📚The Best Curriculum
1. Reading a lot or fast doesn't help your pronunciation at all.
That's why I give you strategies to remember & use it.
*ㄴ at the bottom → n sound (눈)
*ㅁ at the bottom → m sound (잠)
*ㄱ / ㅋ / ㄲ at the bottom → k sound (각)
*ㅇ at the bottom → ng sound (강 / 공)
*ㅅ / ㅈ / ㅆ / ㅉ / ㅊ → t sound (삿)
*ㅂ / ㅍ at the bottom → p sound (갚)
*ㅂ at the bottom → ㅁ sound (합니다)
*ㅎ at the bottom → mute sound (좋아요 / 좋아해요)
*ㄱ at the bottom + ㅈ → ㄱㅉ sound (축제)
*ㄱ at the bottom + ㅎ → ㅋ sound (생각해요 / 똑똑해요)
*ㅎ at the bottom + ㄱ → ㅋ sound (어떻게)
*ㄱ at the bottom + ㄴ → ㅇㄴ sound (먹는 거)
*ㄴ at the bottom + ㄹ → ㄹㄹ sound (관련 / 논리)
*ㄱ at the bottom + ㄹ → ㅇㄹ sound (독립 / 독립기념일)

*ㅅ at the bottom + ㅇ → ㄷ sound (맛없어요)
*ㅌ at the bottom + ㅇ → ㅊ sound (같이)

*의 at the beginning → ㅢ (의사)
*의 at the end → ㅣ(거의)
*의 in the middle → ㅔ (친구의 집)

2. Grammar is 50% of the Korean language. That's why, people can't be independent without learning the grammar. The problem is we have billions of grammar, so people waste their time with grammar for more than 5 years. Actually, with just my 10 analyzed grammar that Koreans use the most, you can start free-talking right away and study additional grammar by yourself, even without me. That means you can become independent with any grammar in just a few lessons. That's a point of my lessons.
*하 → 해요
*ㅣ + ㅓ → ㅕ (마셔요)
*ㅡ + ㅓ → ㅓ (써요)
*ㄷ → ㄹ (들어요)
*ㅂ → 우 (더워요)
*ㄹ stay or drop (파는 / 살면)
*ㅅ stay or drop (나아요)
*ㅗㅡ → ㄹㅏ(몰라요)
*ㅏㅡ → ㅏㅏ(발라요)
*있는 / 없는 (있은 doesn't exist)
*있는지 / 없는지 (있은지 doesn't exist)
*있다고 / 없다고 (있는다고, 없는다고 don't exist)
*재미있다고 / 재미없다고 (재미있는다고, 재미없는다고 don't exist)
*맛있다고 / 맛없다고 (맛있는다고, 맛없는다고 don't exist)
*덥다고 / 춥다고 (더운다고, 추운다고 don't exist)
*필요한 / 필요하다고 (필요하는, 필요한다고 don't exist)
*adjective이 → 이에요 / 이었어요 / 일 거예요 / 인 것 같아요 / 일 것 같아요 / 이라고 생각해요 / 이라서 / 이니까 / 인데 / 이지만 / 이고

3. After learning my 10 grammar principles, you'll know how to organize all of my grammar and conjugate it by yourself in sentences.
What's the next mission? Just flashcards? No!
You must practice every day using lots of new words with regular, analyzed corrections. Guessing vocabulary by yourself is impossible because Korean has trillions of words and countless exceptions. For example, one English word can have more than five Korean equivalents, or even ten. That's why AI, translators, universities, the internet, textbooks, and random free-talking teachers can't give you strategies or warnings about regression points caused by common misconceptions. That's how even learners who have studied for 10 years eventually regress. Most people know this is true, yet they still make the wrong choices. That's why my students don't fail.

Then, why should you take my lesson? Simple.
I've analyzed everything about the Korean language. Just tell me the topic you want to master, and I'll give you the most useful vocabulary, collocations, grammar, and personalized corrections for that topic. If you can't decide, I'll recommend the best topic based on your level. Most importantly, always ask for collocations instead of single words.

📍The curriculum is strictly confidential. I will explain it in more detail during the trial lesson. Until you become fully independent, frequent lessons are really important for studying, practicing, and correcting everything properly. In the beginning, I strongly recommend at least 3 to 4 lessons per week, and then you can reduce the number later. However, it always depends on your passion and situation. The more lessons you book per week, the bigger the discount and the faster your improvement.
Most of my students take lessons at least three times a week for the fastest progress (40-minute or 55-minute sessions). That said, everything depends on your passion and your schedule. If you are serious about improvement, I strongly recommend the 20-lesson package, which is significantly cheaper. (All lessons must be booked immediately to receive the discount.)

📍If you truly want to understand everything about the Korean language, you can purchase my customized encyclopedia and use it by yourself forever. It is almost like taking my lessons forever because even when I cannot personally teach you, this encyclopedia can guide you like I do. It includes countless grammar patterns, word connections, exceptions, pronunciation rules, real Korean expressions, and detailed analysis that even AI and many teachers cannot properly provide. This is the system that allows you to truly master Korean naturally and systematically by yourself. You will never need to waste money on random additional materials again.

🔍More details about dictionary.
Are you still at the same level — or even regressing?
Are you unable to recognize even simple words without subtitles?
Are you still wasting money on countless textbooks that do not actually help?
Do similar-looking words keep confusing you and getting mistranslated again and again?
Do textbooks, apps, university teachers — and even AI — still leave you wondering why your Korean does not work naturally?
"If so, unfortunately, you have probably been learning Korean the wrong way from the beginning. It's not your fault, and it's not their fault either. Korean language is just for language-talented people. But even if you don't have talent for this language, there’s always a way to master Korean."
"Imagine if you cook with trash, the food will never become a perfect, delicious meal no matter how much time you spend making an effort. Isn't it unfair? In the same way, if your foundation—grammar, pronunciation, and study methods—is wrong, your Korean will regress and stagnate, never improving or helping you accomplish your goal."
"Below is the Korean level of someone who studied at university for three semesters. Is this person the only one like this? In my trial lessons, more than 90% of students are at this level. I am sorry, but this person realistically needs to start again from the beginning."

💡💡💡💡💡
Isn’t there any solution? Unless you are someone with extraordinary talent for languages, this is realistically the only place where you can learn hundreds of thousands of words, grammar patterns, exceptions, and real-life expressions together in one fully connected system. This dictionary is the only one that can help you overcome all of these problems and eventually study completely on your own. I can say that while putting my entire career on the line.

"Before, one of my students learned Korean through apps such as Talk To Me In Korean, Duolingo, and Go Billy, as well as through teachers on Italki who focused more on flattery than real progress. However, after studying with my encyclopedia and taking my lessons for eight months, the student was already able to discuss economics with a Korean taxi driver, and after one year, the student had developed strong writing skills as well. Your dream starts with my lessons and dictionary."

“This student is now living in Korea and is married to a Korean woman. Before coming to Korea, he lacked confidence and couldn’t even handle basic conversation. However, with my customized, carefully analyzed materials and strategies, he was able to successfully place an order by himself at a café in Hongdae after just one lesson. It’s possible because role-playing and free talking are different. But role-playing also helps you remember words and grammar more easily because you analyze them while practicing.”
