Welcome to the first episode of KoreaTalk! This mini-series is about two former expats' experiences living in South Korea. My American co-host Wesley and I share our EPIK (English Program in South Korea) adventures back in 2016. We talk about why we decided to teach abroad, the application and interview process, and what to expect during orientation week. Tune in as we share our humourous stories and practical advice for those interested in teaching and living abroad!
