Language academies and independent Korean tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Korean tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 22 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, ratings and popularity.

📚 What are the requirements for Korean language skill level to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research each program in advance. With personal Korean tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.
🔥 Why is Korean so challenging and are there ways to learn it more effectively?
Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Korean. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Korean fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand everyday expressions, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Korean. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Korean tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.
🤷 How long does it take to master Korean?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Korean will require at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of Korean or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Korean out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Korean classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Korean coach?
In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Korean tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
