This language studio was truly such an incredible experience. I'd never been to this type of place before and was nervous about going. When I arrived I was greeted with an amazing vibe in the studio, from both the students and the volunteers. MJ and Tiger are great host! They try their very best to make sure all the volunteers feel welcomed. The hour's at the studio aren't bad and leave a lot of time to explore the beautiful city. I truly enjoyed my time here, getting to know the students, and even the other volunteer's. I've made great friends here. I'll definitely be coming back! Very soon!

I participated in this program for 3 months and I loved the experience!I would highly recommend it for anyone looking forward making international friends and getting to know a new culture and city from the locals themselves!The schedule at the cafe is kinda flexible, so it will allow you do other activities around the city. Everybody, staff and students are very nice and kind. The accommodation is near the cafe, it might seem a little small but is actually comfy. The hosts will provide basics such as rice, water, soap… I would definitely come back, I will never forget all the people I met!

It has been a really good experience for me, I've found really good friends not just in the café but also with the volunteers. I would recomment to others to come here if they are looking for a sharing culture travel, to get in touch with korean locals and also volunteers from all around the world. I'm very grateful, my time there has been amazing.

This experience was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had! The hosts were all super nice and the people at the cafe were amazing as well. I will say though that the highlight of this experience was meeting the other volunteers! Made some amazing friends staying there and the environment was very friendly and fun. It was the best way possible to travel and truly learn about Korean culture.

It was fun and nice to talk to locals and to find friendships along the way, both in the locals and the other volunteers. I genuinely enjoyed my time spent there. The 4 hours of work a day were definitely more tiring than I expected and there were some issues with the hosts providing us groceries as they were supposed to, but I wouldn't change my time there for anything

This was the perfect place in the community! Volunteers had the chance to talk about and learn all sorts of things from the students at the café. Being able to talk to many locals and natives made the trip so much more valuable to me. the community is an amazing place to try a huge variety of fun and bustling things, and you're not far away from sightseeing, tradition, or must-have experiences! Also, one of the highlights was definitely the other volunteers. I made so many good friends that were just amazing people.

Ammon has been a great plus to our community!
He sincerely enjoyed sharing his experiences and cultural background with the locals. Always being approachable and kind to others and willing to lend a hand to anyone in need.
We were in trasition and things were quite spontaneous at times but he was always so accommodating.
We were very pleased to have him with us here and are positive that he would make a great fit anywhere he goes.

The hosts themselfs were one of the greatest people, kind and always lending a helping hand. They are usually busy, but never failed to help out when i needed something . The work area is pretty cozy and the people that you had your conversation with were all nice and it was lovly to have a talk with them. After talking so much with so many people you also start to understand more about the korean culture but also about yourself. As an introverted person this helped me be more confident but also have proper conversations with all kinds of people. A truly live changing experience.

Pros -MJ, Tiger, and Dae are so kind! -The cafe was a fun place to meet Koreans / learn about the culture :) -Work is only 4 hrs/day so there's lots of free time! Cons -Didn't get any rundown when I arrived; found out a lot of things in later on by chance. It felt like a game of telephone between the volunteers -Many amenities listed (3 meals a day/language lessons/etc) are NOT offered! Ask them for details -10 volunteers share a 2bd/1 bath apt. and it got VERY messy and gross. Was hard to live in for long The living space was a let down but the experience in Seoul was wonderful!
