Full sentences from lesson one

You always know what's next

1:1 with Maru

Every minute is about you

Sound familiar?

You've spent hundreds of hours with Korean.

K-drama, K-pop, apps, textbooks, YouTube — you understand more than you think.
But when you try to actually speak? Nothing comes out.

Months of studying, still can't order coffee

Group classes where you speak for 5 minutes total

Grammar rules memorized, but your mouth won't move

Tutors with no plan — "what do you want to learn today?"

The problem isn't effort. It's that no one taught you to speak — they taught you to study.

The difference

In your first lesson, you will:

Say a full Korean sentence

Not "hello" or "thank you." A real, complete sentence. Within 30 minutes.

Make it negative, ask a question, and answer it

One grammar point = 4 usable sentences. That's how the system works.

See the complete roadmap ahead of you

160 lessons. You'll know exactly where you are, where you're going, and how long it takes.

Actually speak more than you listen

This isn't a lecture. You'll be talking from the start.

The Method

A system, not just a teacher

Most tutors freestyle. Maru built a complete operating system for learning Korean — from zero to fluent conversation.

The Core System

3 sentence patterns that cover all of Korean

Every Korean sentence you'll ever need falls into one of 3 patterns. Learn the structure once — then fill in any vocabulary. It's not memorization. It's a framework your brain installs and keeps.

Sentence Sets

1 grammar point → 4 usable sentences

Every grammar point is immediately practiced as positive, negative, question, and answer. You don't just "understand" it — you can use it in a real conversation the same day.

4 Phases

Beginner to fluent — the entire journey mapped

160 lessons across 4 Phases. Each Phase has a clear milestone. Phase 1 alone gets you ordering food, introducing yourself, and holding basic conversations.

Honest comparison

You have options. Here's how they compare.

We're not saying other methods are bad. We're saying if your goal is to speak, the approach matters.

Meet Maru

I watched hundreds of students study Korean for months — memorizing grammar, filling workbooks — and still freeze the moment they tried to actually speak.

So I built a system. Not a textbook. A speaking engine that installs patterns in your brain so sentences come out automatically.

I teach Korean the way your brain works — not the way textbooks are organized.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?

Yes — that's exactly who the Core System is designed for. You'll speak full sentences from lesson one. No prior Korean needed.

How is this different from a Korean language school?

Language schools teach grammar to groups. You listen for an hour and speak for 5 minutes. Here, it's 1-on-1, and you're speaking from the start — with a curriculum designed around output, not input.

Is this better than a $15 italki tutor?

Different purpose. Cheap tutors are great for free-talk practice. But if you want a structured path from zero to real conversation ability — with a complete curriculum, progress tracking, and a proven system — that's what WouldYouKorean is built for.

What do I need for lessons?

A computer or tablet with a camera, stable internet, and Zoom. Everything else is provided by Maru.

What times are available?

Mornings and late evenings (KST). Maru will find a time that works for your timezone — whether you're in Europe, the US, or Asia.

Can this prepare me for TOPIK?

The curriculum is speaking-first, but covers grammar and vocabulary up to TOPIK Level 6. Speaking-first. TOPIK-ready.

How do I pay?

PayPal or Wise (bank transfer). You'll receive a payment link after booking. No complicated sign-ups.
