Learn Korean with us!
Annyeonghaseyo! Life expands when you can speak an extra language. Why not have fun learning a language you like? As we talk together, the difficult Korean language will become fun. The important thing when study-ing a language is the experience of actually speaking it. Let’s be confident and have fun studying Korean together!

Support for international exchange!
I came to Japan as a high school exchange student and ever since then I’ve believed in the importance of international exchange. I teach English lessons and support those learning English. If you need support or you just want to talk, come to me anytime!

We will support you to make this a comfortable HOME!
I know it can be very unsettling at first to leave your family and the country you are accustomed to in order to study abroad. I also have experience studying abroad, so I under-stand how you feel. We will support you to make the university a comfortable home for you, so please don't worry. Through interna-tional exchange, please share your country’s language and culture with us!
