🌍 One World Korean Club 🇰🇷
Learn Korean, Meet New Friends & Share Cultures

# 🇰🇷☕ Korean Starter Club – Apprendre le coréen autrement
Bonjour à tous ! 😊
Je m'appelle Sohyeon et je vis actuellement en France.
J'enseigne le coréen depuis la période du Covid et, comme beaucoup d'entre vous, j'adore apprendre les langues.
Je parle et j'apprends actuellement :
🇫🇷 Français
🇬🇧 Anglais
🇷🇺 Russe
🇨🇳 Chinois
🇯🇵 Japonais
En apprenant et en enseignant différentes langues, je me suis souvent posé plusieurs questions :
🤔 Comment apprendre une nouvelle langue lorsqu'on manque de temps ?
🤔 Comment aider les enfants ou les personnes qui ont des difficultés avec la lecture ?
🤔 Comment créer un environnement où l'on peut réellement parler la langue étudiée ?
🤔 Comment gagner en confiance lorsqu'on apprend une langue ?
🤔 Est-il possible d'enseigner uniquement dans la langue cible tout en restant compréhensible pour tous ?
---
✨ C'est à partir de ces réflexions que j'ai créé mon propre programme.
Un programme différent de ceux que l'on trouve dans les manuels classiques.
L'objectif est simple :
🇰🇷 Apprendre le coréen en utilisant le coréen dès le premier jour.
💬 Comprendre naturellement grâce au contexte, aux images, aux gestes et aux interactions.
🤝 Créer une communauté où chacun peut progresser ensemble.
---

📢 Les possibilités de poursuivre l'apprentissage après ce programme seront présentées directement pendant les meetups.

# 🇰🇷☕ Korean Starter Club – Learn Korean Differently
Hello everyone! 😊
My name is Sohyeon, and I currently live in France.
I've been teaching Korean since the Covid period, and like many of you, I love learning languages.
I currently speak and study:
🇫🇷 French
🇬🇧 English
🇷🇺 Russian
🇨🇳 Chinese
🇯🇵 Japanese
While learning and teaching languages, I've often asked myself several questions:
🤔 What if someone wants to learn a new language but doesn't have much time?
🤔 How can children or people who struggle with reading learn a language effectively?
🤔 How can we create an environment where people can actually speak the language they are learning?
🤔 How can learners gain confidence while learning a language?
🤔 Is it possible to teach entirely in the target language while making sure students understand everything?
---
✨ These questions inspired me to create my own learning program.
A program different from what you usually find in traditional textbooks.
The goal is simple:
🇰🇷 Learn Korean by using Korean from day one.
💬 Understand naturally through context, visuals, gestures, and interaction.
🤝 Build a community where everyone can learn and grow together.
---
# 🌱 Korean Starter Club

---
# ☕ Tea Time After Class
After class, we'll spend some time together over tea or coffee.

💬 Chat freely
🤝 Get to know each other

We hope to see you in Café Marktzicht!
In the last year we had tables for the following languages:
* Dutch
* English
* French
* Italian
* Spanish
* Turkish\*
* German\*
* Portuguese\*
* Danish\*
* Norwegian\*
* Russian\*
* Arabic\*
* Chinese\*\*
* Japanese\*\*

*
* Most likely, but not every week present.
\*\* - Rather rare ;-)
If your language is not in this list, please let us know! We have a large database of Language Cafe visitors speaking 56 different languages! We might be able to connect you with a person that does speak the language you want to practice.
In case you are not in our database yet, please use this form: http://goo.gl/forms/oSCn9Dn8m8
Coding Wednesday @ NOVI
**In het kort:**
💻 **Wat:** Live workshop @ NOVI Hogeschool
👥 **Wie:** Studenten van NOVI én iedereen die coderen wil ervaren
🧠 **Onderwerpen:** Git, GitHub , HTML, CSS, React en samenwerken
📅 **Wanneer**: Woensdag 10 juni 2026, 14:00 uur (tot uiterlijk 17:00)
📍 **Waar:** Op locatie! Newtonlaan 247, Utrecht (4e etage)
**Welkom bij Coding Wednesday!**
Samen duiken we in de creatieve wereld van programmeren. Elke maand is er een challenge of workshop gericht op coderen.
**Wat doen we deze keer?**
We bouwen een portfolio webpagina met HTML, CSS en React (Javascript framework). Een begin hebben we al. We werken samen aan dezelfde codebase om componenten toe te voegen en te verbeteren. Dit doen we met een versiebeheersysteem -> Github.
**Heb ik voorkennis nodig?**
Het is handig als je al wat code hebt geschreven hebt in eerdergenoemde programmeertalen en Git hebt geïnstalleerd en een Github account hebt. Zo niet, geen probleem. Je kan ook alleen meekijken, of samenwerken met iemand uit de groep.
**Wat heb je nodig?**
* Je eigen laptop met WiFi aansluiting
* Installeer een **code editor**. Novi studenten kunnen Webstorm, Pycharm of IntelliJ gebruiken. Anders is [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) een prima editor (gratis).
**Is er een minimum aantal aanmeldingen?**
Coding Wednesday gaat door als er 5 aanmeldingen zijn of meer. Dus vergeet vooral niet om je aan te melden :)
Mocht het niet doorgaan, laten we dit een dag van tevoren weten

**WHO ARE WE**
We're a group of locals and immigrants/expats intending to stay in Amsterdam long-term. We keep the number of attendees low to create a more intimate atmosphere.
We aim to create a small, close-knit, and welcoming environment where it's easy to make friends / good conversation, and you're always looking forward to the next event. As such, we do not tolerate any sexism, racism, homophobia, harassment or creepy/inappropriate behavior at our events.

Please remember that the waitlist exists for a reason. **If you're on the waitlist, please don't show up unannounced**. Thank you!

\- Ceremonial cacao
\- Journaling

Or contact me directly.
🫶🏼 About me:
My name is Pati, founder of RAIVIDA Circle. I am a certified cacao ceremony facilitator and a Sound Healing Practitioner Level 1, 2 & 3, trained in Bali.
During my travels, from learning about meditation while living with monks in Thailand to discovering the power of cacao, sound and women’s circles in Bali, I felt how healing it can be to gather, soften and support each other as women.
RAIVIDA Circle was created from that same feeling. A warm and intimate space where women can connect, feel held, return to themselves and rise from within.

I’m looking forward to sharing this space with you.
With love,
Pati

National Park De Maasduinen 20 km
We’re heading out for a beautiful 20 km loop hike from Afferden through the gorgeous Nationaal Park De Maasduinen.
This route takes us through a striking Limburg landscape of forest, sandy paths, open heathland, river dunes, and wide views.
Along the way, we pass the ruins of Kasteel Bleijenbeek and climb an uitkijktoren for a panoramic view over the Maasduinen landscape.
One of the special features of this hike is that we cross the Maas river twice by small ferry. These crossings give the route an extra sense of adventure and connect the Maasduinen landscape with the village side of the river.
After one of the crossings, we continue to the village of Vierlingsbeek, where we’ll take our longer break for a drink. After the break, we make our way back toward Afferden, completing a varied loop through forest, heathland, castle history, river scenery, ferry crossings, and quiet Limburg countryside.
A hike with forest energy, open heathland, castle ruins, a lookout tower, two Maas river crossings, and a relaxed village drink stop.
**📍When and where to meet?**
We’ll meet at 11h15 at Busstop "Afferden, Veer naar Sambeek" https://maps.app.goo.gl/kcg4hBvRsHoUjBSa6
⏰ **We start walking a few minutes after meeting up**
We don’t wait for latecomers, as we have a long route ahead and want to enjoy the full day properly.
**🚗 Coming by car?**
Please check your parking options beforehand so you arrive on time.
**⏸️ Planned Breaks**
After **4 km:** break at watchtower (5 min)
After **7 km:** Having a lunchbreak at ruins of Castle Bleijenbeek (25 min)
After **13 km:** Ferry over the Maas
After **14 km:** Drinks at bar in Vierlingsbeek (50 min)
After **20 km:** Ferry back over the Maas
(bring small change to pay the ferry)
I still need to confirm or make a reservation at the bar.
**💸 Payment**
Please pay as soon as you sign up: To keep things fair for everyone, if we don’t receive your payment within 48 hours, we will need to remove you from the participant list. If there’s a waiting list, this will happen sooner (in less than 48 hours). If that happens, no worries — you’re always welcome to sign up again if there’s space.
🌟 Early Bird Deal! Join now for just €4 — available for 3 days (72h). After that, the price will be €5.
Please pay here: [https://tikkie.me/pay/hn1r44v9kl99o9agck71](https://tikkie.me/pay/hn1r44v9kl99o9agck71)
