shuenI would like to recommend YoonSsam Korean class.. I’ve been learning for almost one year with YoonSsam. He is a very good, fun and interesting Korean teacher. He use his heart to teach every students. During the lesson, I was a person who was unable to speak in a fluent or even couldn’t construct a good Korean sentences. Now I’m able to listen songs and watch movies with less sub-title needed.
joannaIf 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 feel boring. It is suitable for working group to 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...
natalieliew86From having zero background till being able to recognise Korean words in few weeks, this is really awesome! Ssam 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 get in touch. I'm 200% Salute on his teaching passion! I have never met a teacher like you, Yoon Ssam! 감사합니다!
engMr Yoon is a very experienced and talented language teacher. He knows which way works the best for student to learn a new language efficiently. His class is interactive and fun, not typical “go by the book” style, I have never once feel sleepy or tired in the class even though im learning after work. A really cool teacher! 감사합 니다!
Hoong YipI like the pace of each weekly class. It gave me plenty of time to revise and master a topic. Ssam always try to make the lessons more fun, interesting and enjoyable for the students. Aside from learning the language, we also get to learn about the Korean culture. Highly recommend to those who are interested in learning Korean!
