This was now my second time with this host. It felt like coming back home🤣 I would recommend the language studio to anyone. It is a great place to make local friends and learn about the culture. The managers always try their best to help us and make our stay worthwhile. I'm really thankful to them and even when I leave the studio I will come to visit whenever I can!

An incredible experience! It's a great way to meet locals + other-like minded volunteers. The work is easy but very rewarding. MJ, Harry and Jason are excellent hosts who are very fun + accommodating. Would highly recommend!

My 3-week volunteering experience at Langsyoung was wonderful and unforgettable. An impressive Korean phrase that I learned from my volunteer at the studio is "커뮤니티화" (commoditization), which means providing a community for students there to improve their English through interaction and being involved in a community. Through well-organized conversations (managers and staff were all so kind), you will not only get the chance to utilize your English and personal insights to help and inspire the students but also get brilliant traveling and living tips and true interactions with the locals.

I had an unforgettable experience. I got the chance to speak with so many interesting people and make long-lasting friendships along the way. The atmosphere in the cafe is friendly and makes you feel super comfortable from day one. The hosts have a very good organisation and take their job seriously. They were always there for us, helping and making sure we had everything we needed. I wish the best for the studio! Thank you for this time shared, it was a beautiful experience !! :')

This is a priceless opportunity for you to help Koreans learn English, meet locals and people from all over, and forge friendships with everyone that opens up your perspective on the world. I had an absolutely great time taking part in this language cafe. I would highly recommend it to someone with an eagerness to speak to others, a curiosity about the world, an open, optimistic mind, and an above-average social battery. My only regret was not staying longer :) thank you Harry and MJ for allowing me to share my knowledge and skills with the people in your language cafe!

It was really fun to be able to participate in the studio! Harry and MJ are really nice and friendly, they helped me a lot when I had problems :) The apartment is packed but fully equipped, they provide basics and always make sure that we are comfortable. I really had the best time in Seoul, the chance to talk with the locals, making friends with them as well as with other volunteers from around the world. Truly unforgettable!! I hope the studio will continue to help Koreans to learn english better. 💖💖

Lavie, thank you so much for your kind words! Sorry that we've missed out on leaving the review within the given time window. Again, thank you so much for being so flexible and accommodating during the stay. Flexibility and proactivity are much appreciated in our community. It was a little bumpy towards the end due to other personal issues - none of us are to be blamed - but it's so great that it all worked out at the end of the day.
Hope you can come back for another language learning opportunity and have even more amazing experiences next time! You'll be missed :)

My experience in the language cafe has been better that whatever I had imagined. I was supposed to stay 1month and ended up staying 3 months, it speeks for itself. I met volunteers that that period became my family and friendships that I will always cherish. I made very close friends among the locals I met in the cafe, who I am still seeing today. I am very grateful to the hosts who made this trip possible. They took care of our schedules, of our problems, of the mood of the group,... Today I consider them as close friends ! I really recommend this language cafe with all my heart ! <3

My time at the language studio was a great volunteering experience. The task was perfect for finding yourself in a completely new culture, as I was helping the locals with practicing their English by talking about any subject of our choice. Because of that I was able to learn about their lifes, values, or just recommendations on visiting new places in Seoul :) The organizers are really nice (and huggable!) people, always with smiles on their faces that makes a newcomer feel comfortable immidiately. If you are fine with sharing a small living space - I highly reccomend this experience!

This was my first time in Asia and the language café was a fantastic place to learn and meet with the Korean students. It's a great opportunity to truly learn about the place by speaking with locals. Harry and MJ were friendly, warm and accommodating. The apartment was quite small while the Wi-Fi would be down at times. However, the experience makes up for this 100% 😅

My experience with LangsYoung the coliving was awesome and I would come back right away! It's a great place to make many friends and learn about the culture. Many different kinds of people come to the language cafe, so you can have very interesting conversations every time you come. The managers at the studio always try their best to help us if we need anything. Also if their ever might be a problem between the volunteers they try to help us solve it. The best thing about the language cafe are Harry's hugs and Mj's smile and obviously a big thank you to Young for your peace signs!
