I have a really good time at this experience! Is nice to talk to the student because you can learn a lot and they give you recommendations for your trip❤️ and Hoon is a really great host. Me and the others volunteers had always a good time hanging out together (and drinking Soju🤭). I learn a lot about Korea so of course I want to come back and you will have plenty of time to travel around Seoul🇰🇷

I stayed at the language studio for a month, and time flew by… they say it does when you're happy. I'm so grateful this was my first Worldpackers experience and that Hoon gave me the chance to work with him. He's kind, funny, and always open to talk. I was lucky to share a room with amazing coworkers, and the teachers were great too. Some of the students truly stayed in my heart. I felt at home here and didn't want to leave at the end. I'm a bit jealous of the next volunteers, it's such a wonderful experience!

My experience at the studio was really amazing! The whole team is so kind, welcoming, and supportive — I couldn't have asked for a better place for my first volunteer experience. The schedule is well balanced, which gives you plenty of time to explore and enjoy Seoul. I'm really grateful for everything and would definitely recommend Language Studio to anyone!

I really enjoyed my experience in the language studio. The shifts were scheduled in advance, were 4 hours a day including weekends, but you have two days off. We had food for breakfast and all the facilities life wifi and good location, the apartment is located in Gangnam a very expensive area of Seoul. Unfortunately, there is not free laundry in the apartment you have to pay for it. Thank you MJ, Sam and Kim for the opportunity I would love to come back some time. They made our job and stay to work smoothly for the volunteers so we could even choose our free days. Thank you Korea!:)

This has been the best way I could have experienced Seoul, seeing the city through the eyes of the coliving having the chance to chat with them at the language studio made it all really special. Im really grateful to the host for being kind and flexible, and for giving me the opportunity to be part of something so unique. The neighborhood is full of cool places to discover and well connected. Would definitely recommend it for a medium or long-term stay. 🫰🏼
