LTL Language School || Learn Korean in Seoul

I just concluded a two-week stay in Seoul with 40 hours of 1:1 Korean language instruction at LTL Korean Language School. My instructor was excellent: a clear communicator, well-prepared, adjusted to my personal learning style, and always positive and encouraging. She not only taught the language with an emphasis on speaking as I had requested, but also discussed the culture of Korea in which this language exists. This enriched the experience perfectly.

What I most appreciated about the school was the flexibility to meet my needs. With my husband in tow as we traveled and because we had made many plans, I did not participate in extra activities arranged by the school, although they looked like fun. The length of my stay, being able to learn 1:1, which is a priority for me as an older learner, and the ability to go my own way after class every day, was just the right situation for me. So, thanks to LTL for allowing these differences and providing options for students. I hope to return again to continue my journey in the Korean language.

Please Note: I cannot evaluate housing as I made my own hotel reservations in Seoul.

If you are looking for an experience living in Seoul, taking classes at LTL is an excellent choice. I studied Korean at LTL for six weeks, and it was an unforgettable experience. Manuel and Esther go above and beyond to make the students feel welcomed and included. We would often go to lunch after class to enjoy delicious Korean food!

My Korean teacher, Hyunyeong, made learning the Korean language so fun and engaging. She always made learning Korean exciting and is clearly passionate about teaching it.

I couldn’t recommend LTL Seoul more, I would definitely take classes again if I find myself in Seoul again.

Do you want to enjoy studying Korean surrounded by a very professional and friendly team? You have never studied Korean before and you wonder if you gonna be able to do it? ... then it is not a problem cause you can start from the bottom. And if you are more advanced in your Korean then the team will put you through the appropriate level class.

Also if you want to experience the cultural food, you can join the other students every day for lunch with Manuel and discover new restaurants and feel the 'local atmosphere'.

Also, there are events organized outside the class, in the evening, if you want to join such as going to a karaoke, looking at the Lantern festival, going for a drink, .. And you can also make suggestions.

But remember that you also gonna have home work, cause you are here to progress in Korean :-)

I personally take at the moment a 5 weeks program with 4 hours of collective class in the morning and 2 to 4 hours of one-to-one class. It is intense (but I am here for that :-)) but it is also so much fun.

The collective class is not crowded at all. We were 4 students like week in my class and this week we are only 2! So if you have any questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact Manuel who speaks English, and French as a native speaker, and also Spanish obviously!

My experience at LTL Seoul was fantastic! My teacher was incredibly understanding, always going the extra mile to teach me what I specifically asked for, in addition to the material from the LTL-provided textbook. The location in Hongdae is perfect—such a vibrant area, full of cafes and even nightlife! There’s also a cool terrace where I could study after class. Manuel and Esther were always checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. They also organized fun lunches and dinners with other students, which made the experience even more enjoyable!
My homestay family was so lovely and supportive, helping me with my Korean and creating unforgettable memories together. I can say that a Korean family now.

The best things about studying with LTL Korea is:

1- They are serious and take your safety and that of minors very seriously.
2- their homestay families are amazing - we get to eat local every day, get to watch TV with them and communicate in Korea all day every day - what more can one ask when learning a new language?
3- Their teachers are fantastic - they are fun and adaptable - I had a lot of needs and they were all met!

I'll come back most definitely - loved the events in the evenings too and the staff - Keep working hard you guys - YOU ROCK!

Located in the vibrant Hongdae district, LTL impressed me from the very beginning with its exceptional service. Their prompt, personalized responses to my emails, online phone calls, and chats addressed all of my questions and concerns before I even enrolled. This attentiveness was one of the main reasons I chose to join. The second reason was the location. Easily accessible by metro or bus, LTL is surrounded by a wide variety of affordable, delicious restaurants, all nestled in the lively and beautiful Hongdae area—making the location itself a significant draw.

During the month I studied there, I participated in an intensive 4-hour-per-day course with outstanding teachers. These instructors not only guided me through my learning process, addressing any difficulties and doubts I had, but they also fostered a supportive atmosphere where I quickly gained confidence and improved my language skills. I left LTL with a strong sense of accomplishment and progress, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the teachers. Moreover, they provided a solid learning foundation that has made it easier for me to continue building my knowledge independently.

One important point to mention is that I have very strict dietary requirements. The staff at LTL went above and beyond to help me navigate these challenges when dining out, even assisting me in selecting appropriate menu items. This level of care exceeded my expectations, and I am deeply grateful for their support.

Additionally, both the teachers and administrative staff went out of their way to help me explore the city, find and enjoy fun activities, and make the most of my time in South Korea.

In summary, I highly recommend LTL not only for learning Korean but also as a place to meet great friends and enjoy your time in Seoul.

Really nice people at the school and fun activities! The ppl here are always super kind to help if i have any question! Love the Korean barbecue night the school arranged! The teachers here are very thoughtful and the classes are fun. Even if I only stay here for a week but I feel like I learned quite a lot from both of my teachers, Eunjin and Seonyong! Manuel and Esther here are super friendly. Will definitely come back again and suggest to my friends if they consider coming to Seoul to learn Korean!

The summer camp was amazing! Activities were so fun I made a lot of friends here, classes were great too the teachers explain everything amazing in an understanding and interactive way, they explained grammar and gave homework that helped memorized the vocabulary reviewed in class. After the school we went to different restaurant with tradicional Korean food, and we even got to emblematic places and museums to know more about Korean history, also went to funn places such as Nami island, zoo, and amusement park. I truly regiment the one month experience!
