Yappers English Language Studio
The best way to explore a country is to immerse yourself in the culture and blend in among locals!
Our language studio promotes a fun and interactive program in which the volunteers have plenty of opportunities to talk to Koreans either in the conversation sessions or in outside activities.
Our members want to practice English and expose themselves to foreigners from all over the world, exchange cultures, and hanging out to show their side of South Korea!
We have a very mixed cummunity, composed by foreigns from all around the world and koreans who lived overseas for a while, so we are not just only familiar with English and even other languagues, but also with respecting and exchanging cultures throughout your stay! Our place and staffs are very laid back and welcome to have a good relationship with people, we all wish that our volunteers have wonderful memories during their stay in Korea and we enjoy to hang out together, sometimes hosting a party in order to get along with the local Koreans and get to know each other a bit more.

About the experience in: Bundang, South Korea
Russia
I volunteered for a month and here’s an honest review. The work was easy, the students were lovely, and other volunteers were fun and helpful. But the schedule wasn’t fair, some worked 12–16 hours while others did 20. Even with advance notice, days off weren’t guaranteed. The AC was freezing in both the academy and apartment. My bed was 1 meter from AC, I got really sick because Scarlett was turning it on every night. I ended up with bronchitis, and had to go to the hospital. The apartment was okay but a bit messy, but 8 people were living there so thats okey. Students and others were amazing.

Hi Anna, thks for joining us I'm replying to this review to ensure ur false information doesn't mislead our future volunteers:) Everyone in our program does the required hours. If u had any doubts about it, u should've asked in our weekly check-up meeting. AC isn't why u got sick, cause it didn' work during the night since it's not managed by us but by the building. Perhaps the constant drinking, smoking, and clubbing was the real reason & even then we changed your schedule so u could recover.

Working at this English cafe was such a meaningful experience and and one of my best memories from my time in Korea. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity. It allowed me to connect with locals and gain a deeper understanding of Korean culture. I love the location of the academy and the people there are very warm and welcoming. I am so grateful for the friends I made along the way and the memories I have made here. It was truly an unforgettable experience and I am already planning a return trip!

I enjoyed my experience at Yapper’s Academy!
Here is some general thoughts on the experience:
It is located outside of Seoul by around 40-50 minutes, so accessible but, outside the main tourist area.
I enjoyed the opportunity to connect with locals.
Food is like mid priced in the area, and there accessible restaurants all around, I didn’t cook that much but, other volunteers utilized the kitchen and probably saved some extra bread.
I really enjoyed the people at the dorm, there is a good community energy there.
Thanks again!

Had a great time at Yappers-Seoul. Scarlet and her team were wonderful and accommodate each volunteer needs as best as they can. Location is fantastic. A place where you can chill, time to yourself to being a party animal. Close to eateries cheap to expensive, shops and transportation buses and trains.
Sightseeing wise, you are in Seoul. There is a ton of things to do.
But the best thing that I enjoyed the most, was conversing with local Seoul people. Getting to know them in some way small way about their life in Seoul, aspirations, their pressure and anything they wanted to talk about.
