Korean Language Hangul

Drop everything else you are using to learn Korean and sign up with Suebeet. She can get you through the basics of learning Korean at a steady pace and is very professional with beginners. Highly recommended.

I am Korean-​American and have grown up with a life long desire to speak Korean. My parents tell me that I spoke mostly Korean up until the age of 5 at which point sadly, (for whatever reason) my parents decided not to speak Korean to me anymore because they did not want me to have an accent. I ended up losing all of the language and could barely speak a few words. I had developed a feeling of paralysis — my tongue became lame when it tried to speak the language that was so intimate and comforting to me as a young child. I was absolutely incapable of speaking it. I even became afraid of speaking the few words I did know because I had been teased for having terrible pronunciation. The embarassment of not being able to speak one’s native tongue has been tremendously painful for me. I tried hiring a private korean tutor for a year. I spent another year listening to audio CDs in the car. Finally, I decided I needed someone to speak with me for me to learn it. I found Sue on craigslist. Even though it’s only been a few months with her, I can already see a big difference in my pronunciation and my understanding of the language has deepened. I have achieved more in three months with Sue than I have after a year of traditional tutoring and audio CDs. Sue has tailored the lessons to suit my needs for conversations and she listens and corrects me without judging me which was so important for me. I am so glad I found Sue and I can’t wait to progress further! Just regarding technical details, she is organized and reliable. It is easy to pay her and she provides coursework to follow so there haven’t been any additional costs beyond the price of the lessons. It’s been so convenient since we just connect over the phone. With two young children and working full-​time, I wouldn’t even be able to attend a course at a school or college. Luckily, with Sue as my phone tutor, I can learn even better than I would in a classroom setting and it’s more convenient! There is nothing better than a win-​win situation if you ask me!

I have been learning Korean for over a year with another private tutor before Suebeet. While my previous tutor helped lay the foundation for my Korean language skills, Suebeet has really brought out a new level of speaking from me that I had not anticipated being able to accomplish.
She has a really good way of explaining things. She makes sure to explain both fundamental learning as well as modern abbreviations and slang so that when we speak to Korean speakers our age, we won’t sound out of date or weird. :)
I hope to continue taking classes with Suebeet. :)

Suebeet has been so incredibly helpful! As someone who’s spent a few years in Korea and is looking to keep increasing my fluency, she’s been incredible. She’s friendly, knowledgeable, and explains concepts well. I plan on continuing my education with her for the foreseeable future!

I’ve been learning Korean for several months with Suebeet and it’s been great! She is super friendly, helpful with all kinds of questions, and tailors the lesson to the student’s needs whenever provided with feedback.
