YOON SSAM'S KOREAN VIRTUAL LEARNING
Learning Korean has never been easier.
- First collaborative language learning
- Using uBitto Meetup
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!
Highly focused
Being able to speak in Korean isn’t based on how extensive your vocabulary or grammar knowledge is. Only learn and practise what you need.
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.
Brought to you by Yoon Ssam
Yoon Jung Hyun (Yoon Ssam) is the founder of uBitto and principal teacher of Penang Korean Class. As an experienced Korean language teacher of close to 10 years, he has extensive experience teaching Hangeul to learners of all age groups – ranging from 10-65 years.
He is best known for his teaching methods – incorporating active learning and participation in his classes as well as bringing learning out from the classroom, in this case, making learning accessible from everywhere.
Uniquely designed lessons based on 4S Approach
One of the main reasons why learners fail to pick up Korean is aimless learning. The 4S Learning Approach gives you a big picture on where you are and where you would like to be.
We use LEVS GRW to help you practise.
uBitto’s 7 Pillars of Language formula – LEVS GRW (Levels Grow) is the backbone of our lesson design as we know there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to language learning.
With LEVS GRW, learners can identify which aspect of learning they excel in or needed improvement.
