Jeongmi
Korean Teacher
How long have you been teaching for and how long for Cactus?
I have been teaching for 10 years and have been with Cactus for 5 months.
Where were you born and what is the city famous for?
Seoul, the Capital of South Korea, is a very modern city but you can also see old palaces that are hundreds years old. Seoul is also one of the most dynamic cities in the world. So it is really fun and interesting to visit or to live.
What is your degree and teaching experience?
BA in Korean Language, MA in TESOL. I have taught all age groups.
Have you worked in another field ?
Yes, I have worked as an interpreter and translator as well.
What is the typical food of your native country and is there a special occasion where most families eat it?
Kimchi is eaten at almost every meal. On birthdays, we eat Miyeokkuk (seaweed soup) to celebrate.
Do you have specific language learning tips?
If you really focus on listening practices you will have a better understanding of the language. It is important to pay attention to pronunciation practice as well. If you can pronounce properly then you will understand the words too.
I am looking forward to seeing you in my Korean class!
안녕히 계세요.

Frequently asked questions
What will I learn?
Our Course Outlines give an overview of the content and learning framework of Cactus courses. Includes themes, grammar and vocabulary you can typically expect to cover. These are intended as a guide only. Language teachers may at times adapt the course content to suit the specific level, aims and interests of the class.
How do I know what level I am?
Are you unsure where to start or progress to? Then take our level test and read our level descriptions for guidance.
Do I receive a qualification or certificate?
At the end of your course you receive a certificate of participation. You will be able to be download it from your MyCactus account. This confirms the language and level of course you have taken. Our course levels are based on two internationally recognised systems. You will have a universally accepted reference for your studies. (Important: Please note that you must complete the end of course questionnaire sent to you to be able to get your certificate! You will receive the course questionnaire by e-mail at the end of your course.)
Do I need a course book?
You will need a course book to attend your course. Course books are not included in the course fees. We recommend that you buy your own course book separately before your course starts. We will let you know which course book you will require and advise where you can purchase this. Please note that a course book often covers more than one level. So if you progress to the next course, you may not necessarily need to buy a new book. Again, we will advise you of this at the time. The course book is chosen by our teachers and academic team. This is based on which book is most suitable for the level of the class whilst offering the most communicative approach.
