**🌍 Korean Chat Lounge: 1:1 or 1:2 Korean Tutor (Daejeon)** **Don't just study Korean. "Train" your tongue.** Most learners know the grammar but freeze when it's time to speak. We are here to fix that. This event combines the social vibe of our **Language Exchange** with the focused intensity of the **Korean Chat Lounge**. **🔄 Why 'Chat Lounge' instead of a Class?** Language isn't just knowledge; it's a physical skill. * **The Philosophy:** We focus on **repetition** and **muscle memory**. * **The Method:** Your tutor acts like a "conversation coach," guiding you to use practical phrases repeatedly until they feel natural. * **The Goal:** To move you from "thinking in your head" to "speaking out loud." **⏳ STRICTLY BOOKING ONLY** * **No Walk-ins:** Due to the private nature of the sessions, we cannot accept participants at the door. * **Pre-reservation Mandatory:** You must book your specific time slot via the link below. **🎟️ Cost & Venue Rule** **1️⃣ Participation Fee: ₩7,000** *(Includes: 1:1/1:2 Tutor Session + Language Exchange)* **2️⃣ Cafe Order: 1 Drink Required** *Please order at least one drink from the café counter upon arrival to support our venue.* **✅ How to Join** **👉 [Reserve your time slot via the link](https://nurio.kr/events/26).** *(Spots are extremely limited. Please book early.)*

Participant fee 15,000won+order 1drink(The participation fee is only paid once — at your first visit. All fees are collected and reinvested into the club to purchase new teaware, high-quality teas, or ingredients for future gatherings.)

**What is a langauge exchange?** A language exchange is a relaxed social meetup where you practice languages through **real conversations with real people**. No textbooks. No grammar drills.
