If you’ve ever felt nervous about traveling in Korea because of the language barrier, this experience is for you.

In just 3 hours, you’ll learn the basics of Hangul and practice essential Korean expressions with my custom workbook.

We’ll start with a fun indoor session, reading Hangul, writing your name, and saying useful phrases. Then we’ll head out to practice in real life.

Once you can read Hangul and say a few key phrases, Korea opens up to you and it gets a lot more fun.

Hangul Lesson

We’ll start in a conference room near Jonggak Station. I’ll introduce you to the basics of Hangul using my own easy-to-follow workbook. You’ll learn to recognize Korean letters, sound out words, and write your name in Korean. We’ll also practice key travel phrases that you can use right away.

Real-life Hangul Practice Around Jongno

Time to apply what you’ve learned! We’ll take a short walk through the neighborhood and practice reading real signs, on shops, restaurants, and street signs. You’ll build confidence by recognizing actual Hangul words in public spaces.

Try Taking a Korean Bus

Let’s take public transportation like a local. We’ll board a city bus together and follow the route while reading station signs and announcements in Korean. You’ll learn how to use your T-money card, where to tap in and out, and how to track your stop using an app or Hangul signs.

12:20 PM

Practice at a Local Market

We’ll arrive at a traditional local market, where you’ll use your new Hangul skills to understand prices, and order something in Korean. This is a fun and supportive way to try speaking with locals and experience the real vibe of Seoul.

About Tour Guide Jeeseon C.

Hi! I’m Jeeseon.

Over the past several years, I’ve been working as a licensed guide, leading travelers from around the world through palaces, temples, hanok villages, traditional markets, and Seoul’s hidden local neighborhoods. I especially enjoy introducing guests to off-the-beaten-path gems and sharing the city’s authentic local atmosphere. Many of my guests say it feels like exploring the city with a thoughtful local friend.

I design every tour with care, balancing history, culture, and everyday life, so each guest can experience Seoul in a personal and memorable way. Guiding is more than a job to me, it’s a way to connect people with the heart of Korea.

My tours are ideal for curious travelers who want more than just sightseeing. I specialize in:

Korean history and culture storytelling

Practical Hangul learning experiences

Hidden gem exploration for repeat travelers

An orientation tour for first-time travelers to Korea with a Hangul learning session
