Others teach Korean. WouldYouKorean makes you speak it.
K-drama, K-pop, apps, textbooks, YouTube, you understand more than you think.
But when you try to actually speak? Nothing comes out.
Months of studying, still can't order coffee
Group classes where you speak for 5 minutes total
Grammar rules memorized, but your mouth won't move
Tutors with no plan, "what do you want to learn today?"
The problem isn't effort. It's that no one taught you to speak. They taught you to study.
Most tutors freestyle. Maru built a complete system for speaking Korean.
Over 60% of every session is you talking. This isn't a lecture. It's a speaking workout. Every minute is designed to build on the last, so you see real progress, fast.
4 phases from beginner to fluent conversation. Each phase has clear milestones. You always know where you are and what's next.
You think in English, and that's an advantage. This system bridges your English brain to Korean, so you're building on what you already know instead of starting from scratch.

Not improvised free-talk. Every minute is designed to build on the last. You always know exactly where you are in your journey.

Why two prices?
Wise — list price, no extra fees on either side. Pay with card or bank transfer.
PayPal — +5% to cover PayPal's processing fee. Any card works, no PayPal account needed.
Both options — same sessions, same support. Pick whatever's easier for you.
For 5 years, I kept seeing the same wall. Smart students. Months of grammar. Workbooks full. Still frozen the moment they tried to speak.
So I stopped teaching the textbook way. My students speak their first Korean sentence on Day 1, not after months of studying.
WouldYouKorean trains your speaking muscle: every session installs one new pattern, builds on yesterday's, and your brain stops translating.
I built this because I want you to actually use Korean: order food, make friends, watch a drama without subtitles. By your 20th session, you're not translating. You're speaking. That's the deal.
Yes, the system is designed to take you from zero. No prior Korean needed. You'll be surprised how quickly you start producing real sentences.
Language schools teach grammar to groups. You listen for an hour and speak for 5 minutes. Here, it's 1-on-1, and you're speaking from the start, with a curriculum designed around output, not input.
A computer or tablet with a camera, stable internet, and Zoom. Everything else is provided by Maru.
Weekdays (Monday to Friday), 8 AM to 4 PM KST. The booking calendar shows times in your local timezone automatically, so you can pick what works for you.
The curriculum is speaking-first, but covers grammar and vocabulary up to TOPIK Level 6. Speaking-first. TOPIK-ready.
PayPal at checkout (default). Pay with any Visa, Mastercard, or major debit/credit card, even without a PayPal account. Instant confirmation.
Wise transfer (recommended for 20 / 40-session packages). Lower fees on both sides. After booking, email wouldyoukorean@gmail.com and I'll send the invoice with my Wise USD account.
Book your first session. Experience the system. Then decide.
