Positive aspects of school

"The location is great and very convenient since it's so close to Gangnam Station. I was in the Pre-Intermediate class, and the teachers were excellent. I also had amazing classmates, so I really enjoyed my studies."

Negative aspects

"During the week I was there, there was an event on Friday afternoon instead of a regular class, so I couldn't study as much as I wanted. Also, I originally hoped to go to the Busan campus, but they didn't have a class for my level due to a lack of students, so I couldn't study at my preferred location."

Positive aspects of school

"The school offers plenty of activities outside of class, so you naturally get to know other students, even if you come alone. You can also choose optional afternoon classes, so it’s a great environment for studying intensively. The school is located underneath the station, so getting there is incredibly easy."

Negative aspects

Positive aspects of school

"Quiet location. Air-conditioned. I enjoyed the restaurant evening. The weekly coursebook structure meant that students could enter at any point."

Negative aspects

"Repetitious exercises and boring classes. Showed little imagination or appreciation of modern language teaching methodology (though this depended on the teacher). Studies have shown that the average person cannot focus on one task topic for more than 20-25 minutes. Yet our lessons went for 3 hours with exactly the same drills. There needs to be a variety in the teaching and presentation of the material. The exclusive use of hangugo to explain the grammar makes little sense for an elementary class. Often it would have been much more efficient for the student to read the explanation in a textbook in his native language. But most of all, there was an overwhelming concentration on written exercises. After all, the reason students come to Korea is to practice speaking and listening. The pictures in the course book were at times hard to interpret, and the examples were unrealistic: how often will I want to say: "The ball is between the two boxes"? That said, there was a marked difference in the competence of the teachers in our class. If this is how English is taught in Korean high schools, it is no wonder that so few Koreans speak English."

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

"Bring a grammar/course book of the Korean language in your native language."

Other comments

"I had two teachers who varied greatly in their ability. There was one pleasant teacher, but she showed little imagination beyond writing drills on the board. The other showed much more imagination in making use of the material at hand. The textbook had far too many drills of the same kind. The classes were mostly so boring I rarely stayed for the full 3 hours. I did learn to practice reading hangeul. But students could have worked through the course books on their own at home, without coming to class; it would have made little difference on the whole. No attempt to bring students together or to set up common areas for social activities (tea and coffee)."

Positive aspects of school

"Please note, that my course was an on-line course, so the location does not really matter. I do have to say that I appreciate the fact that an on-line course was available. The teacher and the course material was excellent, and the classmates were great. I was offered to jump to a higher class in case I wanted to, but I preferred to stay on a lower level in order to improve my speech ability rather than learn a lot of new grammar. I feel that the course has enforced my knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, and given me a lot of confidence to speak Korean. Before the course, it felt like I was unable to say anything at all."

"The teachers were really great and the classes were a lot of fun. I regret that 2 weeks was not enough. I wish I could have asked more questions if I could have spoken English!"

Negative aspects

"In the first morning class, the explanation was in English, so I thought that Japanese students with poor English skills would have a hard time understanding the explanation. Students also asked questions in English, so I often had a hard time catching the conversations. Sometimes it was more understandable for me to listen if they spoke in Korean."

"For the beginner level, it is tough to keep up with the class if you do not have English ability. Many students in the beginner class may not understand Korean, so both teachers and students speak only in English."

City/place

"I felt the warmth of the people in the city, who were rather nosy and at the same time really friendly. I could not get used to the dirty toilets for two weeks. Gyeongbokgung Palace was a lot of fun."

Accommodation

"I am afraid it is impossible for the Japanese to stay in "Gosiwon". The school arranged a hotel for me on short notice, but it was too expensive and I gave up staying there. I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights from Friday, but it was a pity that it cost me an additional 800,000 won because of the high season. It would be nice to have a more clear picture of the rooms. The owner was very nice to me, but I had never lived with a bathroom in front of my living space, so I had to eat out and study in a cooler cafe where I stayed until closing time. I was able to eat an onigiri (rice balls) made of freshly cooked rice once outside, but the rest of the food was discolored, so I could not eat it. The cost of food was also quite expensive. But I was glad to get the knowledge of how to choose a room for the next time when I attend school."

"In general, everything was correct and as expected, although my first day was quite chaotic at first. I want to think that it was because sudden heavy rains on the way to school caused many new students to arrive together and with less anticipation than expected as transport was affected due to the rain. So it was all a bit confusing and chaotic at reception but it was solved in a few minutes."

Positive aspects of school

"I loved the group size, which was reasonable. The teachers are really nice and they are also at your disposal to help solve some problems that you can meet at your arrival. But once in the classroom, not a word of English is spoken, everything is in Korean! If this can be confusing at first, it is actually a great way to learn and teachers still manage to make themselves understood one way or another. I did not stay very long bit this gave me the feeling of progressing rather quickly. This school is also a great way to meet other people travelling alone and doing things together that you wouldn't dare doing by yourself."

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

"The school organises regular meetings with Korean students from the same school (they study English). The activity itself is not amazing but often ends up in a bar, restaurant or karaoke and this is where the real meeting takes place."

"I have not done a lot of activities but from those that I've made and returns that I've had from others, they are really not essential. Most are included in the price even when booking half-time courses (except entrance fees of a museum for example). Apart from this the school was really great and I'll come back there on my next visit."

Positive aspects of school

"The teachers! They became not just teachers for me but also good friends! Unfortunately I couldn't take part in all the activities because I have many friends in Seoul and I wanted to spend some time with them too :) I took part only in two activities: a cultural exchange with Korean students, we met up in a cafe on the ground floor where we drunk coffee and just talked about various things, of course in Korean :) You may want to speak English as almost all Koreans at the school could speak English. And some of the students spoke English with them, but if you speak English, there will be no progress in Korean. For example, I am very glad that I do not know English :) so I had no choice but to speak only Korean with them , they certainly do not know Russian :) the second activity, which I visited was watching the movie Raning man :) all the students from different levels and group got together and watched the movie on the big plasma :) The advantage: the movie was in Korean without subtitles :)"

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

"My advice: if you live 4 ~ 7 metro stops from school, on the first day of your course you should leave the house 1.5 ~ 2 hours in advance as Korean subway is very slow. as when'll go to the first day of the exam, take the exit for the .... Korean subway :) sooo slow especially in the morning. And do not believe the metro's timetable, in the morning it can be delays up to 5 ~ 30min ... I lived close to the station Hongik University Station and went to school at Cannes. The first day I was late 45 minutes for my level test.... and I was placed in a group with the lower level because I didn't have time to finish it. but then I didn't regret it because we studied a lot of grammar which I didn't know very well and the vocabulary which you can't normally find in the standard textbooks. You should also try to speak only Korean, the result will be much better. And it is better to take a course for no less than a month. I attended a course for 2 weeks, and I regretted than it wasn't a month."
