Friday I just signed up for another month with the class. I love it. I go Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7-9pm. The small class size is amazing because you can't hide and let someone else answer. I have two teachers, one on Mon. and Wed. that teaches from the book, then another teacher on Fri. to teach conversation. Also, starting at such a low level is great because I understand everything very easily and it lets me focus on picking up the vocabulary and not be stumbling over grammar while trying to do that too. It's really reinforcing the vocabulary that I know I've learned, but never gotten a chance to use. I feel so smart too, because the other student in the class only just came to Korea 2 months ago and had no experience whatsoever with Korean before he came here. But... he is an exchange student and he needs Korean in his daily life much more than me.... he is picking it up at an unbelievable rate... and starting to make me look slow.... hmmmmm....
Anyway, I highly recommend Metro Korean Academy if you're looking for a good Korean hagwon in Seoul. It's located right near Gwanghwamun Station, and is a 10 min walk from City Hall station, so you can reach it easily from line 1, 2 or 5. All classes look very small, and they may even create a class if there is none at your level of Korean. They also offer intensive courses and Saturday courses too. I highly recommend them!

ReplyDeleteI guess Metro Korean Academy rocks!!
hey thanks for the positive note, I applied to them today
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the info. I've just found them online. I had intentions on heading to Japan in October. But because of the recent natural disaster, I may have to turn my attention to Korean for the time being. I wanted to do 3 months in Japan 3 months in korea anyway. This school seems legit, but the only querry I have is accomodations. It seems way too expensive to stay in a hotel. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate the help.
