Who we are
Simply put, we love everything Korean. We have over 20 years experience in writing and instruction, are fluent in Korean and English as content creators, and live and work in South Korea. Our unique position allows us to provide the most accurate colloquial expressions and cultural tips in a Korean language learning series.
Series
The Easy to Learn Korean series was published four times a week in the Korea Times English newspaper in Seoul, South Korea and ran from 2009-2019, often as the most visited story of the day. Today, the series has over 150,000 daily views across social networking sites.
We also contribute periodically to the Gangnam News newspaper. And starting in January 2020, you can find us in Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s Monthly Newsletter.
Book
An updated version of the series’ content is available as a second-print, 308-page book titled, An Illustrated Guide to Korean: Essential Words and Phrases.
