I studied Korean Language under ezSAM teacher Ms Seo Ji Yun for few years.

I first attended ezSAM free trial lesson and liked it. There was no sales talk, just a teacher (Ms Yom then) sincerely showing us the fun of learning Korean Language. The study center though small, was cozy and quiet. There is even a cupboard of books which you can buy then, but now can take for free. I like the environment. Ms Seo and Ms Yom can also speak English. I recently got to know another teacher who speak good Chinese too!!

When I first came to ezSAM, the intent was just to learn some Korean language so that I can understand Korean dramas better and hopefully able to read some books. But after studying here, I am inspired by Ms Seo to want to know even more about Korea, not just the language, but also the culture and history. I also have more desire to travel to different parts of Korea to see beautiful scenery.

Ms Seo is really a very kind, thoughtful and giving person. She also has a lot of passion in her teaching. She is always sharing with us different aspects of Korea, be it history, culture, dramas, politics, news, traditional games and even food. We don't just hear from her, but we experienced these together with her. Like making Kimchi, Gimbap, Tteokbokki Hotteok, Korean pancake, playing traditional games, watching Korean movies, going study trips, etc.

Ms Yom too, is a very helpful teacher. Though she is not teaching me directly, in my recent pre-placement oral tests for my Korea language study in Seoul, she spent time guiding me how to prepare for the oral tests.

One of the best things I like about ezSAM is their study tours. Every year, Ms Seo and Ms Yom, both co-founders of ezSAM, will organize 1 or 2 study trips to Korea. I always look forward to joining them whenever I can. The trips were always very well planned, very fruitful and fulfilling. We got to visit places with beautiful scenery, interesting and historical places, learned their history onsite, ate nice local traditions food, watched Korean plays, climbed Mt Hallasan, etc, etc, experiencing Korea culture in many different ways.

All these are made possible because both teachers are very committed in wanting their students to learn and experience the most of Korea in a fun and enjoyable way. It is through their selfless giving, generosity, sincerity and passions that make me want to continue my Korea language study. To the two of them who have invested so much of their time, effort and love in their teachings, the little I can do is to continue my study and repay them with good results hopefully.

I am very glad indeed I managed to score full marks in my first TOPIK I attempt and achieved grade 2. Really thanks to Ms Seo, who has inspired me a lot with her teachings and make my Korean language learning experience an interesting and enjoyable one. Thanks to ezSAM too, the center that made all these possible!
