Not everyone has access to 1:1 Korean lessons or real-time feedback. But that doesn’t mean you can’t improve.
In this week’s episode of TOPIK & Beyond, Eliza shares how to start reviewing your Korean writing and speaking like a native teacher would. Whether you’re prepping for TOPIK or just want to feel more confident, you’ll learn how to spot mistakes, self-edit, and build real progress between lessons.
And yes—Eliza admits this episode is a little risky for her as a teacher 😉 But helping you become more independent is part of her job too.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What native teachers look for first when reviewing writing
- How to track your personal grammar and vocab mistakes
- How to “rewrite it better” and build fluency through revision
