LTL Language School | Learn Korean in Korea

I really enjoyed my time studying at LTL Seoul. My teacher was patient, encouraging, and created a comfortable classroom environment that made learning Korean enjoyable. The staff were also very kind, welcoming, and friendly, which made the school feel like a great place to learn. One of my favorite parts was the weekly activities, especially the lunches after class. They were a great way to get to know other students and made it much easier to feel comfortable meeting people from different countries. My Korean definitely improved during my time at LTL, and overall I had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend LTL to anyone looking to study Korean in Korea.

I have been here in LTL South Korea for about 2 months and it has been a really great experience. When I first chose to join LTL over a standard Korean university, I was worried about the quality of teaching that I would received because honestly I have had mediocre experiences before. I think good teachers can be really hard to come by. But my teacher 고민지 선생님, was honestly perfect for my learning styile and has really helped me improve my Korean. She always puts in the extra effort to make sure we understand the material. In the past, I have taken Korean courses both in America and in Korea, but I have never learned as fast as I have with her so I am really grateful. In our small group setting she talks to each student and makes sure that we all get our speaking practice in. She is always attentive to her students and I always feel that she is super passionate and about teaching. Even if I am slacking on studying or low energy class is still really fun. In the past my Korean courses never really provided speaking practice. But because of the small groups, we are able to do it very well. She also explains the nuances of Korean which I feel as a foreigner is a really difficult concept to grasp.. I really truly think that is such a great teacher. Actually at first I also wondered about the length of the classes because I thought 4 hours would be long. But time really goes by fast. I was also pretty worried that I wouldn’t be in the right level for learning Korean. But the staff were really accommodating in our Korean to ensure that we were getting the right teacher for our levels. I personally was put in the level fit for me, but I’ve seen a lot of students change levels a lot of they needed. Which I think is great because my other programs never let us switch levels.. and that was really frustrating for me in the past. With the LTL program every monday, wednesday, and friday we are able to eat lunch together as a group. One of the first staff I met was 최지은 (we call her Violet) and she was so kind! I felt really welcomed and she is usually the person who takes us to lunch. We both bonded over our love for K-pop (haha). We always go somewhere nearby the school for lunch. There are also many activities after morning classes. A lot of the activities are tourist activities, so these days I don’t really join as often as I used to, but in the start of the program I was a little shy so it was fun to join and make some friends. Everyone is from somewhere different so I always had fun conversations. Another nice thing I have been able to do is just stay in the building a study in an empty classroom. My teacher recommended it to me after I told her I had a difficult time studying at my place. I love the location of the building as well because its in Hongdae, so theres just so many things I can do after class. I would definitely come back again and hopefully I am able to next summer. It is definitely more affordable compared other schools and while other programs offer all day excursions and such, personally I don’t have a strong interest in that. So I would definitely recommend this program if anyone is considering it especially if you have been to Korea before.

I spent a total of 6 weeks of small group classes at LTL Seoul in May and June and I words cannot describe how much fun I had. The school itself is very nice, all the staff were really kind and helpful. I asked to change classes a couple of times and they were very happy to help me do so. Minji's lessons were so fun and engaging and she was the best teacher so I was able to really improved my Korean so much during my short time there. I also really enjoyed all the activities which were organised by the school every week, where I was able to hang out with my friends I had made there while also exploring the city. It was a good mix of both cultural and fun activities so thanks to Sebastian for organising those! Overall I really recommend of you are considering a language school in Seoul as you will not regret it!
