Today I bring on an old college friend, Steven, who’s been living in Korea for over three years. Fast forward to 2022 and he got married to a Korean woman, had a super cute baby and even started his own businesses in the country! I talked with Steven about how it’s like living in Korea as a foreigner, starting a multicultural family in Korea, and working in the country.

Today I am joined by my former Korean tutor, Baek Jinhee. She helped me improve my Korean essay writing skills last year and we’ve become good friends in the process. She is the type of teacher to go above and beyond for her students and because of her, I’ve become a better writer and learner of Korean.

In this episode, we talk about our experiences meeting online as well as her tips for learning Korean so stay tuned to hear from a real Korean teacher on how to do just that!

Some tips we discuss:

Sanchita started learning Korean in 2019 and when the pandemic hit, she took to the web to find partners to practice her Korean with. This led to her cofounding GLEX2020, a global language exchange community. Their goal is to provide accessible language learning opportunities to people around the world.

I sit down with Sanchita to discuss how it all started, what roadblocks she faced along the way, and how her Korean's been doing.
