I will book 15 lessons next time. 25 hours is very, very demanding and the afternoon lessons didn't suit me personally.

Positive aspects of school

The teachers were really great and the classes were a lot of fun. I regret that 2 weeks was not enough. I wish I could have asked more questions if I could have spoken English!

Negative aspects

In the first morning class, the explanation was in English, so I thought that Japanese students with poor English skills would have a hard time understanding the explanation. Students also asked questions in English, so I often had a hard time catching the conversations. Sometimes it was more understandable for me to listen if they spoke in Korean.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

For the beginner level, it is tough to keep up with the class if you do not have English ability. Many students in the beginner class may not understand Korean, so both teachers and students speak only in English.

Other comments

Anyway, the teachers explained clearly and my language skills were improved. They were all great teachers.

City/place

I felt the warmth of the people in the city, who were rather nosy and at the same time really friendly. I could not get used to the dirty toilets for two weeks. Gyeongbokgung Palace was a lot of fun.

Accommodation

I am afraid it is impossible for the Japanese to stay in "Gosiwon". The school arranged a hotel for me on short notice, but it was too expensive and I gave up staying there. I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights from Friday, but it was a pity that it cost me an additional 800,000 won because of the high season. It would be nice to have a more clear picture of the rooms. The owner was very nice to me, but I had never lived with a bathroom in front of my living space, so I had to eat out and study in a cooler cafe where I stayed until closing time. I was able to eat an onigiri (rice balls) made of freshly cooked rice once outside, but the rest of the food was discolored, so I could not eat it. The cost of food was also quite expensive. But I was glad to get the knowledge of how to choose a room for the next time when I attend school.

The staff are very nice and helpful. The teachers are absolutely great. They teach mainly in Korean, but as soon as you don't understand something, they explain it in English until you understand it. The lessons were very informative and easy to understand. Intensive but great.

Quality of teaching / language progress

Highly recommended if you want to combine a language course and a holiday. Studying in the morning and exploring the city the rest of the day.

Accommodation

A mini-studio is only recommended if you really have no demands. Neither in terms of hygiene nor cleanliness.

The rooms in the residence are a bit run down, although newer units have been added but I didn't visit them.

The studio!!!! It's a shame to give such a room. Whether it's disgusting that it stinks of mold that the air conditioning doesn't work I don't mind but the bed!!! Was disgusting and so hard that sleeping on the floor would have been more comfortable but unfortunately I couldn't lie on the floor due to lack of space. It was DISGUSTING!

Positive aspects of school

The teachers and staff have been friendly and helpful. The location of the school right next to Gangnam Station is good. The lessons are quite demanding and intensive. I really liked that the lessons were varied. Besides vocabulary and grammar, there were also opportunities to practise conversation. I found it neither good nor bad that there were a lot of German-speaking students there (at least when I was there).

Negative aspects

The afternoon course was a bit too low for me in terms of level, but unfortunately there was no higher level offered. I personally thought it was good that the course progressed so quickly, but I can imagine that it can also be a bit overwhelming in some circumstances. Especially for people who haven't been learning for that long.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

A trip to Incheon is worthwhile.

City/place

The people are mostly friendly and helpful, but as a foreigner you are sometimes looked at or ignored. Many people here speak little English, so it is helpful to know a little Korean. The public transport is great. The city is really huge and there are unfortunately few green spaces or larger parks. Shopping is very expensive compared to eating out. There are lots of nice cafés.

Quality of teaching / language progress

The course is 5 hours per day Mon-Thu. The lunch break is 1 hour. There is also homework from time to time, so the course is really work-intensive.

Even though I felt like the lessons progressed slowly (only one grammar point per 3-hour class), going every day really helped my Korean listening, and I started picking up words and phrases outside of class.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

I felt like my first placement was too easy and the teacher said so too, and since I was only there for a week, I asked the staff to change my level, and they did.

Other comments

The course was called “intensive” and while the classroom hours were long, I felt that the lessons progressed quite slowly and that the teachers were often talking/showing us YouTube videos just to kill time. But the quality of the teachers were great, and they explained everything very thoroughly.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

Once you are assigned a group, your teacher is your contact person for everything, and the one that signs you in for activities, gives you your final certificate and sees you off on our last day. You don't really get to have hardly any contact with the rest of the staff.

Other comments

In general, everything was correct and as expected, although my first day was quite chaotic at first. I want to think that it was because sudden heavy rains on the way to school caused many new students to arrive together and with less anticipation than expected as transport was affected due to the rain. So it was all a bit confusing and chaotic at reception but it was solved in a few minutes.

Tuition is only in Korean. It is hard to recognize the meaning of a word when no basic knowledge is available. It should be placed more emphasis on the explanation in a common language especially in the first classes.

The school is located near the Gangnam subway station in a neighbourhood with lots of restaurants, cafés ... So very well. The teachers are really nice and we learn Korean but also talk about their country, society ... we can discuss everything. We all shared our experiences and it was great. The courses are very intensive. The first level lasts for a week with a test to reach the next level which ends after 4 weeks. So be careful about the time spent at school and the targeted level.

I loved the group size, which was reasonable. The teachers are really nice and they are also at your disposal to help solve some problems that you can meet at your arrival. But once in the classroom, not a word of English is spoken, everything is in Korean! If this can be confusing at first, it is actually a great way to learn and teachers still manage to make themselves understood one way or another. I did not stay very long bit this gave me the feeling of progressing rather quickly. This school is also a great way to meet other people travelling alone and doing things together that you wouldn't dare doing by yourself.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

The school organises regular meetings with Korean students from the same school (they study English). The activity itself is not amazing but often ends up in a bar, restaurant or karaoke and this is where the real meeting takes place.

Other comments

I have not done a lot of activities but from those that I've made and returns that I've had from others, they are really not essential. Most are included in the price even when booking half-time courses (except entrance fees of a museum for example). Apart from this the school was really great and I'll come back there on my next visit.

The teachers! They became not just teachers for me but also good friends! Unfortunately I couldn't take part in all the activities because I have many friends in Seoul and I wanted to spend some time with them too :) I took part only in two activities: a cultural exchange with Korean students, we met up in a cafe on the ground floor where we drunk coffee and just talked about various things, of course in Korean :) You may want to speak English as almost all Koreans at the school could speak English. And some of the students spoke English with them, but if you speak English, there will be no progress in Korean. For example, I am very glad that I do not know English :) so I had no choice but to speak only Korean with them , they certainly do not know Russian :) the second activity, which I visited was watching the movie Raning man :) all the students from different levels and group got together and watched the movie on the big plasma :) The advantage: the movie was in Korean without subtitles :)

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

My advice: if you live 4 ~ 7 metro stops from school, on the first day of your course you should leave the house 1.5 ~ 2 hours in advance as Korean subway is very slow. as when'll go to the first day of the exam, take the exit for the .... Korean subway :) sooo slow especially in the morning. And do not believe the metro's timetable, in the morning it can be delays up to 5 ~ 30min ... I lived close to the station Hongik University Station and went to school at Cannes. The first day I was late 45 minutes for my level test.... and I was placed in a group with the lower level because I didn't have time to finish it. but then I didn't regret it because we studied a lot of grammar which I didn't know very well and the vocabulary which you can't normally find in the standard textbooks. You should also try to speak only Korean, the result will be much better. And it is better to take a course for no less than a month. I attended a course for 2 weeks, and I regretted than it wasn't a month.

Other comments

In the men's toilet, there was no soap in the 2 weeks and no (paper) towels. But was present in the school kitchen. Tables in the classrooms rather flat (for large people).
