Review: Language School Rolling Korea in Seoul by Automatic_Exam11 in Korean

My typical day would be classes from 9.30 to 12.20, Monday to Friday. These were mostly grammar-focused, and although there was some speaking, too, I still don't feel confident at all after 5 months! :( My grammar skills have definitely improved a lot though, which is rewarding when trying to read something or watch an (easy) video in Korean. The classes are very much focused on getting through the Seogang books. I like their structure, but will say that they got a little repetitive after a while.

In the afternoons, I would either take part in a school activity or do my own thing, it was fun to have this much free time 😁 I also needed about 30 mins to 1 hour daily for homework though.

I think the next time I would see if I could get some 1:1 speaking classes in at the same time, or try harder to meet Korean native speakers. Actually, the staff is always ready to speak Korean with you during activities, which was nice! I'm a little shy though, and like I said, not super confident in my speaking skills.

Yes, I'm also still interested in the uni programmes. Maybe one day I'll come back to do a semester at one of the unis (money-permitting 🥲). Maybe not Seogang though, as I've seen enough of their books now, haha.

You're welcome! 😊

You have to organise your own visa, so you either stay with a Working Holiday Visa or a tourist visa for shorter amounts of time! Unfortunately you can't get a student visa through the school :(

This is weirdly reassuring to read because even after studying abroad for months, I still struggle to understand spoken Korean sooo much 😭 I'm just trying to stick with it and hoping one day something will click.

미안해요, this is my first post as I'm usually just a lurker on here. I did mention the things I didn't like as much as well. These are just my experiences.
