Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Koreans take education very, very seriously, yet there are many problems for learners in South Korea. Society deems those who are not good at studying as lazy, and good for nothing, therefore most students study to death. Literally.

Studying until 2 or 3 am has become a cultural thing that shows that the...  [Read more]

This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Kimberley H. M. The most common problem would be pronunciation.
