The Experience

I've been running a kind of cafe where Koreans and foreigners can meet up to learn about their own culture and experience while having a conversation in English. This cafe doesn't actually sell coffee or tea but we do provide them with a great chance to make local friends for those who are from all over the world. As we are a kind of language cafe, it is all spoken in English which means we need someone who can speak good English. Apply! :)

I felt very welcomed in the project. Kayla created a great environment for international volunteers to both engage with local people and share their story while also listening them attentively and help them with their speaking skills. Thanks to these, great friendships and warm conversations are formed and every day in the project is another day to be very excited about who you going to be engage with. Cheongju is a great city with loads of nice food spots, chill parks and shopping districts. Also it is just 1.5 hours away from Seoul which can help you to travel to other big cities when you are off

I felt like at home from the very beginning. the project is a perfect place for those who fancy meeting people from around the world while helping locals improve their English speaking skills. It's a great opportunity to see South Korea from a perspective of a smaller city, truly learn about Korean culture, get to know lovely people and discover delightful places. I genuinely recommend joining the project team, and I hope to go back there soon! ❤️😊

I had an amazing experience! Speaking English with Koreans was so rewarding and helped me learn more about the culture and explore great local spots. Kayla and Brian were wonderful hosts—so welcoming and supportive. The whole experience was positive, from fun conversations with students to connecting with the other volunteers. I'm really grateful for this opportunity and would definitely recommend it!

I had a wonderful time at the project! Helping Koreans to practice their English is the perfect opportunity to learn more about daily life in Korea and everybody has such joyful stories to tell. There was great comunication with the hosts at all time and the work hours weren't that hard. (between 2 and 4 hours per day). Also Kayla is an amazing person! I recommend this position for people that like to talk, share and listen actively to others, and there's no time for being introvert. Also, koreans are curious about cultures worldwide so is a perfect time to share about ourselfs too! :D
