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!

The job was pretty easy and the hours were usually 2 to 3 per day so actually very covenient. Some of the students have a basic level of english tho, so sometimes it requires a bit more patience to try and understand each other. The accomodation is not big but it was never a burden to share space with other people. It's basic but provides all the essential, even though the beds could be a bit better. Seoul can be reached within approx 1 hour of subway which is very close to the accomodation. Oscar is kind and always available for any request. Definitely recommended!

The language cafe was a really lovely experience. The hours were good and the people in the cafe were nice, conversation was often easy and the people were friendly. The people staying at the apartment (the colleagues) were all very nice and easy to get along with. The apartments AC wasn’t the best so during the hot summer it was quite difficult and the beds were less than ideal. The facilities is the apartment and close to the apartment were really handy and it was about an hour to get into Seoul.

I’d love to come back again, just hope that the beds were better.

This is a great experience, we stayed for 6 weeks and really enjoyed the work - we got the chance to meet and interact with local people and were able to share parts of our culture! I would recommend however the apartment that is provided can be cramped if fully booked, and the AC currently isn’t working

I was there for a very short time, only 4 days, but Oscar was a very kind and understanding host! I left due to personal reasons and he was very understanding with me and willing to work with me to adjust dates. All the other travelers were nice as well and welcomed me as I came in ^^
