Description:
What Kind of Lesson Is This?

The best way to learn to speak Korean is through repetition. By practicing common phrases and the building blocks of the language over and over again with a native speaker, you’ll be creating a solid foundation for mastering spoken fluency of the language.

Classes are 1 on 1 with a student and a teacher, although if there’s another student on your level you’ll be able to take part in a 1 to 2 class, giving you even more exposure to the spoken language.

▶️LEVEL: We offer nine distinct levels, spanning learning the Korean alphabet right the way up to studying advanced news articles.

▶️TEXTBOOK: Talk to Me in Korean textbooks are provided, while you can also bring your own learning content to the class.

▶️TEACHERS: All our teachers are Korean natives. Think of them as your personal language trainer, pushing you further and further to reach your goals.

Our Philosophy:
This class isn’t just about learning the Korean language. It’s about training your skills, just like you would in a dojo. That’s why it’s called the Korean Gym. It’s a more hands-on approach to tackling the language, giving you the chance to start practicing right away.

Our teachers are more like personal trainers than lecturers, adept at pushing you to start learning the language immediately rather than spending hours buried in books. You don’t need any prior Korean to join this class: it’s open to everybody. We have nine different levels, ranging from the basics of the alphabet to advanced news articles in Korean.

Because of the practical nature of our Korean gym training sessions, our students are able to jumpstart their Korean education. We prioritize practical use of the language so you’ll be able to get talking with Korean people sooner rather than later, which will give you a massive advantage when it comes to learning the culture and familiarizing yourself with your new home.

How the Lessons Work:
Your job is to show up to the class and read the opening paragraph of the lesson. From there, your trainer will guide you through quizzes and drills, designed to build a firm understanding of the language from the very first minute.

The best way to learn a new subject is to take an active part in the lesson — that’s why we train our students to ask questions proactively, rather than sit and passively listen. As far as we’re concerned, there’s no such thing as a bad question. This can be quite a difference from the previous language classes you may have taken, but our students tell us all the time what a fantastic way it is to learn.

Training yourself to ask questions even when you feel nervous or self-conscious is a vital skill. Although it’s not easy for everybody, being able to practice it in a safe environment is the single best way to pick up the habit. The skills you learn in our Korean gym sessions will make all the difference down the line, and adopting a proactive approach to learning will help you in any other educational opportunities you want to pursue in the future.

Our trainers know how overwhelming the Korean language can seem to people trying to pick it up for the first time. An entire new alphabet can be terrifying, not to mention the structure of the grammar and the extensive vocabulary. They keep all this in mind as they walk you through the lessons, which means that you’ll be able to expose yourself to the Korean language in a friendly, open environment.

Post-Workout Language Meet-Up
After your Korean gym session, you’ll be able to join us in a social language exchange. Between 30 and 70 people will meet up and bond together over drinks, typically speaking either Korean or English, though there are Spanish, Chinese, Japanese among other languages offered. It’s the perfect way to get your feet wet in Korean culture and make some new friends — and best of all, it’s included in the Korean gym ticket price!

How Do I Join?
Taking part in the Korean gym program couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is find the date and location most convenient to you, and then pre-book with the Korean trainer who will be the best match for you. If there aren’t any trainers currently available, there’s no need to worry: you can book anyway, and we’ll pair you up with one of the many friendly & experienced trainers we have on standby.

Komm vorbei! 😊

—————————————

My name's Jon :) I've been coming to this group since the summer of 2025. I've indeed been studying German for a bit before joining here.

But surely my German speaking started from the absolute basics ("Hallo Ich heiße Jon…") to now, where I can have conversations to some degree, thanks to the German Meetup group here in GSM!
So yes, my German speaking is not so fluent yet, but I'll continue to learn and practice German, hopefully reaching to the point as good as my English & Korean! 🇩🇪

Herzlich willkommen zur GSM-Deutsch-Meetup-Gruppe!
Ich heiße Jon. :) Ich komme zu dieser Gruppe seit Sommer 2025. Vielleicht ist es richtig, dass ich, bevor ich dieser

Gruppe beigetreten bin, Deutsch zu lernen begonnen habe.

Aber mein Deutsch hat sich ganz schnell verbessert, nachdem ich hier angekommen bin.
Vielen Dank für die GSM-Deutsch-Meetup-Gruppe!🇩🇪

—————————————

Here are some of the things that you could expect from coming to the German Meetup group!

🌟 Amazingly Supportive People
- Probably my main reason for continuing to study German would be this. The newcomers coming here, and those who become regular members, are very friendly and supportive. Supportive of what? Perhaps German & Korean Learning would be the first answer, but in general, we support each other's goals and ideas :) ✨
Es gibt viele gute Gründe für deinen Besuch!

🌟 Sehr hilfreich und freundlich, Leute
Vielleicht sind diese freundlichen Leute hier jetzt mein wichtigster Grund für das Deutschlernen. Wir helfen uns gerne gegenseitig :) ✨

🌟 It's not just about German & Korean Language Exchange!
I would usually see people coming here, getting to know each other more than just "studying" German & Korean. The combination of getting to know German & Korean languages, and cultures surrounding them, is definitely fun and interesting to talk about. 🤩

🌟 Es ist mehr als nur Deutsch-Koreanischlernen!
Wir reden normalerweise über mehr als das lernen der Sprache. Mit anderen Kulturen kann man sich über viel interessante Geschichten austauschen.🤩

🌟 Sometimes, Spontaneous Fun Events!
- The pictures of me that I have posted here are actually the pictures taken from the 2026 New Year Celebration Party! As friends from the German Meetup group, we had such a great time! We also had a Christmas Party, so you could definitely look forward to those kinds of spontaneous events! ✨
The meeting takes place every Wednesday at 7 PM at GSM Tables.
Let's learn German and Korean together and make great friends! 😄
Hopefully I'll see you guys there! Thanks :)

🌟Spaß-Events!
Hier sind auf dieser Seite einige Fotos von 2026 Neujahrs Party! Mit Freunden von dieser Gruppe habe ich ganz gut und glücklich meine Zeit verbracht. Wir hatten auch eine Weihnachtsparty. Also kannst du mehr Spaß-Events erwarten.
Das Treffen findet jeden Mittwoch um 19 Uhr bei GSM Tables statt.
Lass uns gemeinsam Deutsch und Koreanisch lernen und tolle Freunde finden!😄
Ich hoffe, euch zu treffen.
Bis bald! Danke :D

Gangnam 강남 International Pub Party 🇰🇷🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇺🇸

15,000 KRW entry includes any drink (cafe or bar) and the meetup.
Inclusions

• ☕🍹 Any drink from our menu (cafe & bar menu)
  🌍🍻 5-hour International Pub Party
  👥 Can accommodate up to 100 people
  🚫🅿️ Sorry, no parking available

✅What Is This?
Welcome to our International Pub Party! Every Friday and Saturday night, we host a big party for all of our expats, travellers, locals, students, teachers and anybody else who wants to come along. We’re happy to be able to say that we have our own space, meaning that every single person you’ll meet in one of our parties is primed to become your new best friend!
It’s a huge event that has really taken off since we started launching it. The party itself brings in around 100 people every Friday and Saturday night.
Whether you’re a traveler, a local, or an experienced expat who knows all about life in Korea, you’re welcome to come along, meet up with old friends or new pals, and let loose.

✅What Can I Expect at the Party?
Every single pub party we host is a fantastically good time, so above all you can expect to have a ton of fun. And, with so many people turning up to each event there’s no end of new people to meet and connect with.
The pub parties are a great chance to get yourself warmed up for a big night out at the club, but they also work as a standalone night out if you’d rather hang out with new people and make some new friends.

Generally people tend to be seated throughout the evening, but you can feel free to move around and visit other tables. Koreans are an especially friendly bunch — just like the travellers and expats who flock to the nation — so you can count on being made to feel welcome at any table, whether you already know everybody sitting there or whether they’re complete strangers.

It’s a fun, safe, and friendly International environment, and you’ll be presented with the opportunity to meet like-minded people from all over the world. What could be better?

At our Gangnam location the pub parties tend to get very busy, and it’s not uncommon for some of the participants to get up and throw in some impromptu dancing, all of which is facilitated by the fun-loving, easy-going staff members.

✅Who Turns Up?
The types of people who turn up to our pub parties tend to be your working professionals, teachers, students, and travellers. We typically get around 30% foreigners and 70% local Koreans, which is the perfect balance for injecting a bit of global culture into the party while maintaining a specifically Korean focus.

✅How Can I Join?
Simply turn up in the right place at the right time. Prebook your attendance online in order to take advantage of some great savings.
Show up and get down at one of our international pub parties: guaranteed to be a night to remember!

### ✅어떤 파티인가요?

인터네셔널 펍 파티에 오신 것을 환영해요!
주로 여행자, 국내거주 외국인, 지역주민, 학생, 회화 선생님들이 참여하고, 누구나 환영합니다. 잠깐 대관한 공간이 아닌 우리만의 멋진 공간이 마련되어 있답니다. 인터내셔널 파티에서는 외국인들과 함께하기 때문에 더 새롭고, 외국어를 활용하기 때문에 유익하고, 맥주나 칵테일 한잔 하기 때문에 흥이 돋는 파티입니다. 일상에서 만나는 친구들만 만나왔다면 새로운 친구들을 많이 만날수 있는 기회입니다.

### ✅파티에 가면 무엇이 있나요?

정말로 멋진 시간을 보낼 수 있도록 최선을 다하는 사람들이 모여서 주최를 한답니다. 오시면 정말 즐거울 거예요. 매 이벤트마다 많은 새로운 사람들이 오가기 때문에 새로운 사람들을 만나고 접할 수 있는 멋진 시간이 될 거랍니다.
외국인 친구들과 그동안 친근하게 대화를 나누고

추억에 묻어놨던 외국 경험, 해외여행 이야기를 나누어 볼수 있습니다. 맥주, 칵테일도 한잔 하면서 흥이 돋고 나면 술게임, 댄싱 등도 하게 된답니다. 클럽이나 다른 펍과 연계된 공간이 아닌 우리의 인터내셔널 펍파티 멤버들만을 위해 준비된 공간입니다. 영어회화도 맘껏 할수 있고 새로운 친구들과 자유롭게 소셜라이징 할수 있습니다.

보통 사람들은 아는 사람들과만 한 테이블에 앉아서 시간을 보내곤 하는데요. 여기서는 돌아다니셔도 좋고 다른 테이블을 방문하셔도 좋아요. 외국인들은 한국인들에게 친절하답니다. 그러니 어떤 테이블에 가도 환영받을 수 있을 거예요. 알고 지내던 사이여도, 모르던 사이여도 환영받을 수 있어요. 재밌고, 안전하고, 친근한 분위기에서 전 세계에서 온 사람들 중 마음이 맞는 친구를 만날 수 있겠네요. 한국에서 경험하기 힘든 분위기랍니다.

강남에 위치한 펍 파티는 시끌벅적한 분위기로, 가끔 직원들이 분위기를 띄워서 참가자들이 춤을 선보이기도 해요. 룰렛, 비어퐁, 다트 같은 게임이 준비되어 있고, 매주 스폐셜한 테마에 맞춘 행사가 기다리고 있으니, 절대 지루할리가 없죠.

### 누가 참석하나요?

펍 파티에 참석하는 분들은 보통 전문직, 선생님, 학생들, 여행자분들이 많은 편이랍니다. 30%가 외국인이고, 70%는 한국인들이 참여해요. 한국적인 요소에 중점을 두면서 글로벌한 파티 문화를 가져올 수 있는 완벽한 밸런스죠. 한국인 친구를 찾든, 외국인 친구를 찾든 펍 파티에서 만나고 싶어하는 좋은 친구를 만날 수 있을 거예요.

### 어떻게 참여하나요?

파티 가입은 간단해요. 정해진 시간과 장소로 와주시면 됩니다. 혼자 오셔도 좋고 친구랑 오셔도 좋아요.
일찍 와도 늦게 와도 좋아요. 그냥 오기만 하면 돼요. 온라인으로 선예약을 할 경우, 혜택이 있어요.
갈까 말까, 혼자인데 가도 될까 이런 고민보다는 소셜라이징을 하는 공간이니까 일단 온다면 쉽게 어울리며 즐거운 밤을 보낼수 있답니다!
