Learning Korean has never been easier.

How it works
uBitto Meetup by Yoon Ssam
Learn online with Yoon Ssam and participate in an interactive virtual environment with a group of equally passionate learners.
It’s time to get the language skills and grasp the confidence to open up your world, this time from wherever you are.
Designed for experience
Upon 16-week completion, you will be able to join us for our seasonal farmping trip to practise what has been learnt!

Weekly fun tasks
With each class, there will be highly stimulating paired tasks which allows you to recap and practise on what has been learnt.
Time is on your side
No one likes braving the jam after working hours. Have some me-time before tuning in for your favourite language class! Not available? Replay anytime!
Location, location, location
Gain flexibility by joining the class from anywhere - be it from a hotel room during your work trip, your favourite cafe, at home - you name it!
Dedicated attention
With online class, you get a close session with Yoon Ssam whilst also being a part of a learning community! Questions will be addressed on the spot by Yoon Ssam himself.

From the uBitto community
I’ve been learning for almost one year with Yoon Ssam. He is a passionate, fun and interesting Korean teacher. I was a person who was unable to speak fluently and couldn’t construct proper Korean sentences. Now I’m able to listen to songs and watch movies with less subtitles needed. I’m also able to form proper Korean sentences! 한국 수업을 진짜 재미있어요! 대박! 정말 고마워요 선생님! 옛날에 제가 아무 한국어도 못 했어요. 지금 제가 한국어를 들고 보고 쓰고 읽고 말했어요. ????
Shuen Lim
A fun place to learn Korean ?. We are learning the language in an activity based lesson which incorporated with activities like quizzes, applying vocab into lyrics of songs and pictures or posters, as well as discussions or thought sharing with other friends using only Korean language. We also did our homework in WhatsApp groups instead of paper works. The learning pace in Yoon Ssam’s class would help slow learner to really understand the structure and usage of Korean grammar

Have FUN time attended last Saturday MOVIE OUTING! Love the plan of bonding session out of usual study class ? It made the Korean study more interesting and fun! #pkcexperience

I’m newly joined for about 3 months (13 lessons). From Zero background until able to recognise Korean words, able to speak simple greetings. This is really awesome! After joining his class, you will automatically build your interest to study and learn the new language! This is the power of passion from him. He is not a textbook teacher, he will find out what is the easiest way for us to learn. Any activities that could help us to improve and

If you want to have an interactive and non boring Korean class, Yoon Ssam class is the best choice to go with it. Almost 2 years with the class and never felt boring. It’s suitable for working group and learn a language in a leisure and comfortable way. From a zero knowledge person to now can build sentence in Korean language, thanks to Yoon Ssam. 쌤, 거의 2년 동안 진짜 감사합니다. 저는 한국어를 계속 열심히 배워요…
Joanna Tan
Best language class I’ve ever attended. Have been enjoying myself so far. Mr Yoon does makes a lot of effort to really help you learn the language with fun activities, group chats, FB and even recorded class sessions uploaded on Youtube. I hope I can speak & write well one day.
Jennifer Lim
Learning a new language is like learning maths, but I survived! Thanks to my dedicated teacher Mr Yoon. In 3 months, I can now read n write basic Korean, communicate a little in Korean, sing in Korean as now I can pronounce the words correctly. The class is always fun and exciting, it’s my favourite time of the week .

선생님의 수업은 타 수업과 달리, 게임이나 토론, 한국 드라마에 접목시켜서 한국어를 더 재미있게 연습 할 수 있기 때문에 재미있습니다. 또한, 여러가지 정보, 뉴스 및 문화와 심지어 한국에서의 자신의 이야기를 공유하는 방식등등.. 이렇게 몇 개월 동안 수업을 듣고 난 후, 저는 한국인과 이야기를 나눌 수 있고, 한국어로 생각과 감정을 공유 할 수 있게 되었습니다.
Janice Tan
I am fortunate to meet such a great 선생님 between my 2 years working life in Penang. Attending the class is always the funniest moment to me. Ssam did not only teach me Korean, but I have learnt that “learning is all about fun”.
John Teh
Languages class should be very boring, but out of expectation, Mr Yoon make it very interesting and fun learning with games, jokes, fun activities and etc…every classes come with surprise. Mr Yoon is very patient in teaching his students. Due to the class conducted in small number of students, he is able to follow up with all his students.
