I’m Naina, a matcha and iced coffee lover. I enjoy travelling, trying new food, and of course K-pop and K-dramas. I believe learning a language is a two-way journey, because we learn from each other along the way. Let’s learn, explore and grow together while having fun with Korean!

What Level 2 students say

4.9/5 850+ reviews on Google

I went from slowly reading Hangeul and half understanding K-drama dialogues to writing movie reviews in Korean! The pace is not hectic: 4 hours a week over 2 days, which leaves time to revise.
Netra KLevel 2 student · Google review
Having speaking classes right after learning a new concept was a really good way to remove the hesitation of speaking, and that too with a native Korean teacher.
Aadhar JainLevel 2 student · Google review
