The NO-BS guide to learning what you really need to know.
129 Page | 20,000+ Word | 5MB PDF

“But I HATE learning languages!”

I can understand that – it takes too long, there’s too much to learn, or whatever. This e-book will give you several hundred words and phrases you’re definitely going to use. Everything from ordering a beer to telling the doctor where it hurts is here – and logically organized to help you find things later on.

Hi, I’m Chris Backe.

I’m an English teacher living in Seoul, South Korea. When I first moved to Korea, I wasn’t sure I’d ever pick up the language. Why? Every book that taught you Korean did the same thing: they spent like five seconds on the basic parts of the language, then jumped right into full phrases and lecturing about boring points of grammar. Did you really enjoy conjugating verbs in high school? Yawn.

Sure, I ended up learning Korean – and I realized there was an easier way: let’s learn the stuff you’re actually going to use. You will never need to know the phrase ‘I am wearing a green sweater’, so why learn it? You WILL use the phrase ‘Where is the bathroom?’, so you WILL learn that one. It’s that simple. That’s the whole idea here – learn the Korean you’re actually going to use while in Korea.

Here’s the strategy: we’re going to use words and phrases, not dialogues. We’ll going to pair up the words and phrases you’re going to use, show you what it looks like in Korean, then show you how to say it in simple English syllables. It’s as simple as that. Write it on flashcards, say it over and over again until your brain hurts, practice with your significant other, whatever. These are the tools – use them in whatever way works for you.

This e-book is not a dictionary.

It is written specifically for people living in Korea. Whether you’re coming to teach English, serve in the military, work as a businessperson, this is for you. If you’re coming as a tourist, this’ll still help you – but it’s mainly geared towards people who will be around for awhile.

You’ll start with hangeul, the Korean alphabet. You’ll learn the letters, how to put them together to make syllables, and how to make sounds with them. We’ll look at some real world examples – signs from around Korea. Later on, we’ll talk about everything from Korean alcohol to getting off the beaten path.

The biggest difference between this e-book and others: no fancy language terms like ‘fricative’ or ‘nasal consonant’ at you. We’re going to keep this so simple, even a ten-year-old can keep up.

So what else are we going to talk about?

• Getting the pronunciation right – the locals are picky about this.
• About formalities and honorifics – a big deal in this historically-Confucian-based society.
• Getting to know people – everyone from co-workers to your students.
• The holidays Korea really celebrates – including the ones you WON’T find on most calendars.
• Eating – with a special section for vegetarians and those with allergies.
• Korean alcohol – some of the most potent stuff around.
• Curses – the words and phrases that’ll make the old people blush.
• Handling your students (if you’re an English teacher).
• Talking to your boss and co-workers (using the formal tense)
• Traveling around Korea – how to read the maps, get help, and get around without a guidebook.
• What to say when you feel like crap.
• Korean expressions and slang – stuff some locals have never heard from a foreigner’s mouth.

And plenty more.

All this comes to you from a native English speaker, living in Korea, who has worked with Koreans on a daily basis for years. The book has been proofread and edited by a professional native Korean editor – that’s as good as you can get.

So what are you waiting for? Stop messing around, get it now, and START SPEAKING KOREAN.

Questions and Answers:

Do you give real, honest expectations, or do you sugar coat things to make Teaching English in Korea seem like the perfect job for everyone?

WE GUARANTEE NO SUGAR COATING. We tell you exactly what to expect, issues we’ve seen, frustrations others have experienced and always truthful information, not what the recruiter may want you to hear.

I have taught in America/Canada/Europe.  Are the students and classroom behavior standards similar?

In a word, NO! This was one of our biggest surprises when we came to Korea.  Find out exactly what we mean, and read some examples of classroom behavior in the guide.

I did a google search and found recruiters and jobs very easily.  Why do I need your book to help me find a recruiter?

We have talked to many teachers here and have heard some great stories and some horror stories about recruiting companies and the schools they set teachers up with.  We share a list of the best recruiting companies to go with so you can avoid scams.

I just looked up plane tickets to Korea and they cost about $1000 per one way ticket!  How can I get more for my money?

We will explain how to get a tip to Japan or South East Asia on your way to Korea for only about $300 more per ticket as well as how to get your Korean work visa two weeks before your start date, while having three weeks or more to spend traveling before arrival.

I have no idea what to bring to Korea.  Do they have normal everyday things like I can get at any supermarket here?

For the most part, you can usually get anything you need in Korea, but there are a few items that are almost impossible to find here, or are so much more expensive that they are just better to bring from home.  We’ll give you a checklist of these items in the book.

I have no idea what I need to be prepared for and what I will need to do in order to go through the application process.  Can this book help?

We go through the application process step by step, and we will give you an overview of what documents and papers you may need.

I have heard that there are two options for teaching, but it is easier to get into a private academy (hagwon) and they pay more.  Which is better, Hagwon or Public School?

We will give you our opinion, but also the facts.  You get an easy to read comparison chart with some of the finer points of the typical Hagwon and Public School contract requirements and benefits.  We have also included actual Public School and Hagwon contracts for you to read for yourself and figure out what’s best for you.

What if I still have some questions after reading the guide?  How can I get answers?

By purchasing this guide, you are also getting three months of consulting from us.  Have a question about one of the contracts you read?  Need some more information on a topic covered in the guide?  Send us an email and we’ll be glad to provide an answer or find someone who can.

Are you serious about the guarantee?

Yes, buy the guide, read it and if you don’t feel like it has saved you at least 15 hours of online research or it would not help you avoid or anticipate at least five unpleasant surprises when coming to Korea, then let us know and we’ll buy it back from you.  We want this to be helpful and worth your hard earned money.
