You finished the app. You still can't speak.

Find out exactly where your Korean is — and what's actually blocking you — from a certified Korean teacher.

6 minutes · no payment · personal report + week 1 free

It's not that you're bad at languages.

You know 안녕하세요. Maybe you've got a 200-day streak. And then a Korean person actually talks to you — and nothing comes out.

Apps are built to keep you studying. They are not built to get you speaking. And nobody ever checks whether you're actually improving — you just keep going and hope.

Almost every learner I meet is stuck in the same place: they can read it, they can recognise it, but they can't produce it. And the free material online is nearly all beginner content, so once you pass that point there's suddenly nothing.

That gap is what I teach.

01
How it works

Study on your own. Just not alone.

1

Take the free test

Six minutes. It finds your real level — not the one the app told you.

2

Get your diagnosis

A personal report: where you are, what's blocking you, and a three-month plan built for your goal — travel, TOPIK, living in Korea, dramas, or family.

3

Start week 1 free

Week 1 is free — three real sessions, no card. Then it's three short sessions a week, a one-minute progress form, and on Feedback a 20-minute group check-in every two weeks — so somebody actually knows whether you did them.

02
What you actually get

Every lesson, built the same way

I write these myself — the same materials I use with my private students. Here's one, in full.

  • 5

Feedback in the voice you choose

Warm and polite · casual like a friend · bright and excited · calm and precise · teasing but caring. Pick one, and that's how your corrections come back to you.

It isn't a gimmick. Those are five real registers of Korean — the thing learners find hardest to switch between. Reading your own feedback in one of them is practice you don't have to schedule.

12 weeks · 3 sessions a week · 36 sessions. 15–20 minutes each, and every fourth week is review with a checkpoint — so nothing quietly slips away. You never have to decide what to study today.
SAMPLE LESSON
Intermediate · Restaurant
Getting the server's attention
식당에서 직원 부르기
Key expression
저기요, 여기 물 좀 주세요.
jeo-gi-yo, yeo-gi mul jom ju-se-yo
Excuse me, could we get some water here?
Why this matters
Your textbook taught you 실례합니다. Nobody uses that to call a server — it's for squeezing past someone. In a restaurant it's always 저기요. Get this one wrong and you sound like a textbook; get it right and you sound like you've been here.
Grammar point
literally means "a little," but here it just softens the request. Korean requests almost always carry it. Without 좀, 물 주세요 sounds like an order.
Dialogue
You — 저기요!
Server — 네, 잠시만요.
You — 여기 물 좀 주세요. 그리고 메뉴판도요.
Server — 네, 바로 갖다 드릴게요.
Homework
Order three things using 좀
Record yourself saying 저기요 — check the rising tone

Your teacher

Hi, I'm Brisa 👋

I write every lesson I teach. You won't get generic textbook pages from me — you'll get material built around what you actually want to say.

I've taught students who later came to Korea, and I got to meet them in person. That's still my favourite part of this job.

I also spent six months in Colombia learning Spanish from zero. So I know exactly what it feels like to understand everything in your head and still freeze when you open your mouth.

FAQ

Questions

What level do I need to be?

Beginner through advanced. The free test exists to figure that out — that's the whole point of it.

Is there anything I have to show up for?

On Self, no — nothing is scheduled, you study whenever you want, from any timezone. On Feedback there is one 20-minute group check-in every two weeks, at a fixed slot you pick once. Miss it and you can join another slot or just send the progress form — you never have to reschedule anything with me.

What if I fall behind?

Nothing expires. The syllabus waits for you, and every fourth week is review — so you can pick it back up without starting over.

Can I switch plans or cancel?

Anytime. No contract, no cancellation fee. You manage it yourself.

What language do you teach in?

English or Spanish — you choose. Every lesson includes translations and romanization, so you're never guessing at pronunciation.

Is the level test really free?

Yes — no card, no payment. Sixteen Korean questions, eight quick either-or questions, and a few about how you study. You give your email at the end so I can send the report.

Find out where you actually are.

Five minutes. No card. A real answer.
