The Chicago Korean Language Meetup Group

How it works:
We meet via Zoom for conversation practice (link provided upon RSVP). After quick introductions, we alternate between 15 minutes of English and 15 minutes of Korean—for up to 90 minutes.

👉 Beginners are welcome! We also have a separate breakout group focused on Korean vocabulary and basic grammar.

When: Second Friday of every month
Where: Online via Zoom (DM us for this month’s link & passcode)

Because we’re online, we often have participants joining from Korea and other countries in their own time zones—so it’s a great way to meet people from around the world!

Pro tip: Bring a notebook to jot down new vocabulary you learn—you’ll see these words come up again and again in real conversation.

💬 Beyond language exchange, our group also hosts dinner parties, K-drama discussions, karaoke nights, and more!
