SUMMARY:SIWA Korean Speaking Club
DESCRIPTION:If you are a foreigner\, living in South Korea\, for sure it has its peculiarities and perks. You might be allured into Korean culture by the catchy K-pop songs and romantic or action-filled K-dramas and movies. Or you just simply fell in love with the tasty food\, the unique traditions and history\, the buzzing life in the cities and the serene landscapes of the mountains and seaside. \nWell no matter what brings you here\, probably you have quickly noticed that some level of Korean language knowledge can be useful to get around in everyday life. Yet to acquire a foreign language is a hard skill to master\, let that be Korean with its own alphabet\, writing system and 7 verb paradigms and speech levels. \nBut no better way to take on that challenge than among friends\, a supportive community and an attentive native instructor. \nIf you are familiar with Hangul symbols and reading goes okay\, but you feel you could boost your speaking skills\, come and join our K-Speaking meetings. We offer sessions every fourth Wednesday of the month which you can attend as your busy life allows. \nWe promise to keep it simple and fun with focus on daily topics that you can use to make your life easier in South Korea. \n  \nLevel: any level \nParticipants will be grouped according to their level with native Korean. The aim is to have small groups with max 4-5 persons. \nEvent date & time: 2025.8.27. 10:30 am – 12:00 pm \nEvent host: Michelle Seungjoo Han (SIWA Member & Coordinator) \nVenue: Cafe Promise\, Bonguensa-ro\, Gangnam-gu // 카페프라미스\, 서울 강남구 봉은사로 113\, 지상1층 \nNaver map: naver.me/5HSEpf42 \nNr of participants: 15 \nTicket price for SIWA members: Free for SIWA members \nTicket price for NON-SIWA members: First trial session is free. Following sessions are 10\,000 KRW/session. Cash-only event. \nThe payment of non-members goes to the SIWA social impact projects supporting local charities. \n  \nBy attending this event\, you consent to use of photography from the event in marketing and promotional materials.
