Sam K.

Hello! I was born and raised in Seoul, where I also started my career. I've traveled frequently to countries like Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand for work. I love experiencing foreign cultures, which makes me really interested in communicating with people from different backgrounds. Right now, I'm living in Vietnam.

I've taught Korean to company employees here in Vietnam, and after work, I've also taught Korean to Vietnamese university students. This experience made me realize the importance of obtaining a Korean language teaching certification, which I have now achieved. While grammar teaching methods are effective for adults or beginners, once students progress beyond the basics, it's essential to incorporate different teaching methods. Sometimes, I use total physical response to help students understand Korean through movement, and at other times, I integrate assignments that encourage them to solve problems on their own. Additionally, communication teaching methods are also crucial. That's why I believe it's important to apply various teaching methods based on the situation, rather than relying on just one approach. This way, I can keep students engaged and interested, helping them continue their Korean studies.
