Language Exchange Cafe in Bucheon City

Hi there!
I"m Oscar and I"ve been running a kind of cafe where Koreans and foreigners can meet up to learn about their own culture and experience while having a conversation in English. This cafe doesn't actually sell coffee or tea but we do provide them with a great chance to make local friends for those who are from all over the world. As we are a kind of language cafe, it is all spoken in English which means we need someone who can speak good English. This cafe is for Koreans who want to practice English with foreigners and build good friendships. We welcome whoever is open-minded to the diversity and various cultures. Respecting each other is really important since we have all different nationalities. It doesn't really matter though you're not from English-speaking countries as long as you have a good English speaking level because you will have a conversation with Koreans in English about many interesting topics and share your idea with them. It's normally 18 hrs a week sometimes less than that. There will be 1-3 Koreans with you for maximum 4 hrs a day and on each hour you will have a 10-minute break in between. If you talk to the same person/people for 4 hrs straight, that might be very boring so we always rotate to meet new people. We would like you to try to help them talk and practice English with you. Meanwhile, you can learn how Koreans think, act, and live and also can make good friends. When you have your time off, you can travel around and out of the city with people from the cafe together.

The cafe is located in central Bucheon which is just next to west Seoul here in Korea. It"s very close to a very well-known Department store LOTTE which you can look around and chill. Of course there are a lot of good restaurants, cafes and shops which can make your staying here better. Moreover this city is crowded like Seoul which means there are many things and chances you can look around and learn the real Korean city life style.

We are also close just 10~15mins distance to Seoul where you can go by subway whenever you want and it only takes around half an hour by bus from Incheon airport.

At the cafe, I can guarantee you that you will have a plenty of chance to meet locals who are interested in sharing the different cultures and experiences. You can also go out with them for meals, picnic, day trip, coffee, seasonal party and so on whenever you both meet the time convenient for you.

《Accommodation》
We have a nice 2 room condominium apartment which has 1 bathroom, kitchen and the living room.
I'm sure you guys would be satisfied with it. It is just 3~4minutes away from the cafe on foot which means you don"t have to spend your money for travelling to go and come.

It's a condominium including nice city view.
Everything is shared in the accommodation including 2 rooms (2-4 ppl), bathrooms, kitchen and the living room. In there, we also share the laundry machine, refrigerator, air condition, dining table, water purifier machine, toaster, microwave, hsir dryer, free-wifi and all the cooking utensils. We provide you with enough food and ingredients at the accommodation. Here are what we provide: rice, bread, ramen, eggs, oils, sugar, salt and almost all of the kitchen utensils.

As we are a kind of language cafe, it is all spoken in English, so we need someone who can speak good English. This cafe is for Koreans who want to practice English with foreigners and build good friendships. We welcome whoever is open mined to the diversity and various cultures.

Our staffs including me care always you guys and listen to your voices :) I'll try to adapt your guys' needs!

In general, it was a very good experience. But the beds were horrible and we all had strong back pain. Some people even sleep on the floor. 3 meals are not really provided. It is just raw rice, instant ramen and eggs. You need to buy the other food by yourself. And eating healthy is very expensive in Korea! The students are really nice and friendly but sometimes it’s hard to talk to them for an hour. Working hours were amazing, just in the evening. All in all I would recommend this host if you’re comfortable with bad beds and „three meals a day“. Bucheon is cool and Seoul is also near!

I stayed for 4 months and for me it was a great experience! but a big part of it is made by the other volunteers who live with you so be mindful that you’ll have to share food (eggs, rice and ramen - which is so nice to have!) 1 bathroom, kitchen, etc. That means cleaning after yourself and just being kind with one another. The job is so easy and fun sometimes you might need to adapt to beginners or advanced students, make them feel comfortable and welcomed rather than confused or frustrated 🥺 The bed situation is somewhat solved as we have 2 mattresses so it’s not as uncomfortable to sleep.

The experience in the language cafe was amazing. I made friends, built beautiful memories. Oscar is a very nice boss, he's always in a good mood. The flat is perfect too. Another extra point are the students. They are gentle and trying their best to improve their language skills. Thanks so much for these unforgettable weeks!

It has been wonderful experience.

Oscar is a chill guy and he manages the schedule and students well.

We are only assigned few hours per day and that leaves plenty of time to explore Bucheon or even Seoul, Incheon and Suwon.

It does not feel like work at all. I truly enjoy conversing with the students.

Overall, I would recommend this place and would love to come back some day.

Thank you so much Oscar for the opportunity. I left with a lof of good memories.

Oscar was great, the schedule is comfortable and the location of the apartment is great.
It was great to meet with the locals and the work was fun and more than fair.
The food that you get is very basic and some of the beds need to be fixed but i will definitely recommend on this experience.
