My stay at Langsyoung was very good. The managers are super kind and friendly, and the atmosphere with the other volunteers was always pleasant. I really enjoyed the conversations with native speakers , the environment was always warm and welcoming during working hours. Even though my stay was short, I enjoyed every moment! Thank you so much to Langsyoung for the experience, and I hope to come back in the future! <3

Nic!

You brought such a fun, laid-back energy to the group and that laugh of yours still echoes in the studio sometimes 😄

You might be a fake Aussie from New York, but you’re 100% real when it comes to being a top-notch human being. But in all seriousness, you were kind, genuine, and such a great person to have around.

Thanks for all the laughs, good chats, and easygoing vibe. You’ll always be welcome back with tiny Smiski butt✨

I spent the most amazing one month in the studio! I met so many kind and interesting people, shared so many memories with them and the managers (who are absolutely lovely) and I got to share a house with lots of wonderful people ~ The job is easy if you don't mind socializing, the house is small and gets busy but it really depends on the volunteers to keep it clean and livable. The location is perfect as both work and home are closeby. Thank you to the managers for their care and warmth, they made me feel at home. I definitely recommend this place and I just know I will soon come back too :)

Matilda...
Shame on me for not writing this sooner!

You were truly the sweetest soul to have with us. You had this way of making people feel safe and seen, just by being you. Your presence made the house feel more like home, and your absence left a quiet void we still feel. It simply won’t be the same without you.

Thank you for everything you shared with us-your time, spirit, and heart. We'll be counting down the days until you walk through our doors again💛🌷

The language studio is a great workstay that lets you meet tons of people. The managers are super friendly and helpful as well. The work hours and location also allow for lots of chances to explore Seoul.

Maya!
You were the zest of the group—always full of energy, humor, and just the right amount of chaos 😄 You brought life into every room, and your playful spirit made things brighter and definitely more fun for everyone around you.

Thank you for jumping into everything with such enthusiasm and for making every day feel a little more alive. We seriously miss your vibe already!🍋
