This experience was absolutely amazing! I got to meet several other international travelers and SO MANY locals. My favorite part of the experience was gathering recommendations on what to do around Seoul from my students. The experience is very laid back and gives you more than enough time to explore every part of Seoul and even other parts of Korea if you wish to. The hosts are so nice and fun to talk to. I’m so glad this was my first impression of Korea because it was unbelievable!

My stay at Langsyoung was truly one of the best decision I’ve ever made. It was my first time volunteering, and I genuinely enjoyed every part of it. MJ and Sam were really nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere among the volunteers was always warm and fun. I had the chance to meet many locals and engage in meaningful conversations, all of them were kind and friendly.
The accommodation was well located and the working hours were reasonable, I got plenty of time to explore and enjoy Seoul.
It was a fulfilling experience overall, and I’m already missing all the people I met there😭💜.

I had a great time volunteering at the language studio! All the students were amazing and I was able to learn a lot about the Korean culture through our conversations. The managers made me feel welcome from the very first day and I really appreciated the familiar atmosphere in the studio. Thank you for having me :)

Really enjoyed my time here. I was able to connect with both local Koreans as well as fellow international travelers. Mj is the best, even booked my bus ticket to Busan! I appreciate her so much!
Workload is reasonable and overall vibe is chill and relaxed. 100% recommend.
