1. What made you start learning Korean?

Food, food, food. I like food. I like recipes. I like Korean culture, but mostly because of the food. Cooking and eating Korean cuisine has led me to want to study Korean as a language.

2. How was your experience with Seoul X On?

My experience with Seoul X On was very positive. The classes felt supportive, and the tutors were always patient and clear. Tutor Mark was especially helpful because he taught me how to read in Korean and made the lessons feel simple and achievable. His guidance kept me motivated and confident throughout the program. Overall, the structure of the classes and the connection with the tutors made the learning experience enjoyable and meaningful.

3. What's the biggest change in your Korean?

The biggest change in my Korean since I started is my ability to identify sounds just by looking at the characters. In the beginning, Hangul felt unfamiliar, but over time I started recognizing patterns and connecting each letter to its sound. Now I can read simple words and understand how the sounds fit together, even if I do not know the meaning yet. This has made Korean feel much more approachable and has given me a lot more confidence to keep learning.

4. Who would you recommend Seoul X On to?

Everyone! I think there's not much more to be said!
