1:1 With Maru
Sound familiar?

You've spent hundreds of hours
with Korean.

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.

The Method

A system, not just a teacher.

Most tutors freestyle. Maru built a complete system for speaking Korean.

You speak more than you listen

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.

  • Speaking from your very first session
  • Structured drills that build muscle memory
  • Natural Korean check in every session
60%+ You Speaking

The entire journey, mapped out end to end

4 phases from beginner to fluent conversation. Each phase has clear milestones. You always know where you are and what's next.

  • No random sessions, no guessing
  • Clear Phase milestones
  • Progress tracking built in
Phase 1 Launch 40 sessions
Phase 2 Connect 40 sessions
Phase 3 Express 40 sessions
Phase 4 Flow 40 sessions

Built for how your brain already works

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.

  • English-to-Korean thinking bridge
  • No awkward translation step
  • Instinctive sentence building

There's a system behind every session

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

  • Not just a teacher, a system
  • Designed for output, not input
  • Speaking-first. TOPIK-ready.
× Memorizing grammar charts
× Translating word by word
× "What do you want to learn?"

Maru, Korean speaking coach
Your Instructor

Meet Maru

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.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?

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.

How is this different from a Korean language school?

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.

What do I need for sessions?

A computer or tablet with a camera, stable internet, and Zoom. Everything else is provided by Maru.

What times are available?

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.

Can this prepare me for TOPIK?

The curriculum is speaking-first, but covers grammar and vocabulary up to TOPIK Level 6. Speaking-first. TOPIK-ready.

How do I pay?

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.

50 minutes.
That's all it takes to see the difference.
