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!

Level 3 has been just as rewarding as Level 2! Mr Satish explains grammar clearly, often going beyond the textbook with real-life examples. Ms. Yeobin focuses on speaking and pronunciation, which builds our confidence.
Lyn NganLevel 3 student · Google review
This was my third course with LKI, after Levels 1 and 2. The learning environment is very encouraging, and mistakes are treated as another step towards fluency. Notes and recordings help with topics that need a second look.
Swati NawaniLevel 3 student · Google review
Learning Korean has not been a cakewalk, but the mentors at LKI, Satish Sir and Yeobin Ma’am, made it much easier. The class environment is always positive and keeps us motivated.
