Korean Speaking Mentorship

Have you been studying Korean for years but still can’t speak?

Join the MEK Speaking Mentorship - Start using what you already know instead of just collecting more.
It's a 3-month, 1-on-1 mentorship with Seunghee where you receive daily feedback and speaking practice personalized to the Korean your life needs.
I'M READY TO SPEAK

What people are saying:

Student reviews
Not a do-it-yourself course. Not a grammar class.
Daily training with me on the sentences of YOUR life, until they come out automatic.

What you’ll get inside the mentorship:

Students’ Perspective

Real students, in their own words. Nothing edited out — they say it better than I can.

Daniella (17 min) — watch this if you already study with someone once a week

Daniella runs a business in Switzerland. She came in WITH a tutor. Good teacher, good materials, a new topic every day. Around 90% of it never stuck.

“…For the first time, I feel like the language is really starting to stick instead of constantly slipping away…”

Sita (16 min) — watch this if you keep starting over, or the price question is in your head right now

Sita is a doctor. 19 months of apps, YouTube, structured courses. The apps were too simple. The courses felt like school. So she was never consistent.

“It is a commitment, but I was looking for a commitment that would hold me accountable financially, but also time-wise as well. Every day, there’s something that I have to do. But that’s what I wanted.”

Richard (14 min) — watch this if you live in Korea, or you cannot make yourself study alone

Richard moved to Korea in 2022. Group lessons, courses, apps. His problem: “there’s only so much passive learning that I can do by myself.” Now he handles the phone calls, the insurance company, the car repair. In Korean.

“It was completely customized. Exactly the kind of situations you would find yourself in, in real life, living in Korea. We did so many role plays based on real situations, using real structures and phrases that people really do use. That gave me the confidence.”

Rebecca (10 min) — watch this if you grew up around Korean and the shame of not speaking it is familiar

Rebecca grew up hearing Korean from her parents every day. She understood almost everything. She could not speak back. Three years of textbook tutoring did not change that.

“I could really understand Korean quite well. I was really frustrated. I couldn’t speak back. I was really limited in being able to say what I really wanted to say.”

Josielyn (20 min) — watch this if you are having classes and still not speaking

Josielyn was already in two group classes, tutoring, and a weekly language exchange. Grammar was coming in. Speaking was not.

Then one day in a bakery she gave up her seat to a young mother and the Korean came out on its own:

“I just said that to her without even thinking about it. It just came out.”

Dina (12 min) — watch this if you have a Korea trip on the calendar

Dina is a product manager in New York. Apps since November, then a weekly group class. Grammar once a week was too slow, and her Korea trip is in October.

“I still, of course, freeze. But not with everything. So it gets you past that hump. You understand things I’m interested in, and you make that the focus of what I’m going to be practicing, because that’s what I would be talking about. And that repetition is what gets me unstuck.”

Jamelah (13 min) — watch this if you studied with apps but your speaking didn’t improve

Jamelah did years of apps. Repetition, yes. Feedback, none.

“When you want to actually start to speak, the apps cannot tell you, oh, this is how you speak. Only the correct human will tell you, no, this is how you’re supposed to say it.”

Frequently asked questions

HOW MUCH TIME DOES THIS TAKE?

15 to 30 minutes a day.

No desk. No free evening needed. The audios are made so you can do them during a walk, in the car, while cooking. The weekly calls you book whenever suits you best.

And honestly: time is rarely the real problem. The little decisions around picking what and how to study are.

My current students: a doctor, a business owner, a product manager. None of them have much free time.

IS MY LEVEL RIGHT FOR THIS?

If you are not a beginner, have studied Korean for a while, understand a bit, and still freeze when it is your turn to speak: this is exactly for you.

How can the same mentorship fit different levels? There is no curriculum to fit into. Every sentence is built from your life, at your level, and we move at your speed. A student one level below you is simply training different sentences.

One exception: if you are starting from absolute zero, this is not a fit (yet). Start in my free community — the challenges and shadowing there are made for you. Come back when you understand more than you can say. You will recognize the feeling.

WHAT IF I FALL BEHIND?

You cannot be behind. There is no class.

The plan is yours alone. If a week goes sideways, we slow down and your struggle sentences carry forward into next week until they are automatic. Nothing is skipped. You never start over.

The only thing I ask: do not disappear. A 5-minute day beats a zero day, and the time it takes to tell me “this week is crazy” could have been used to send in the recording for the day.

And here is the thing: I am on your team. I will not leave you by yourself.

I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE COST

It really depends on where you are, where you want to get to, and what you need.

That is what the call is for. We build that understanding together.

You are not bound to commit to anything if you do not absolutely love it.

WHAT IF IT DOESN’T WORK FOR ME?

Do every daily task for your first 30 days. Your recordings and your feedback. Every one of them.

If you do that and you still do not feel yourself speaking more freely, I give you your entire money back and you will not have to continue.

I only want to keep your money if you think it’s worth it.
