🏫 I Started Teaching Korean History to Kids — Here’s Why It Matters
Hi friends!
I’m so excited to share a personal update with you:
👉 I recently started working as an afterschool teacher at a Korean public elementary school!
Every week, I meet with bright young students and help them explore something deeply meaningful: Korean history.
Yes, it’s just one classroom in one school…
But it already feels like a big step toward something even bigger for Easy Korean Chat.
📖 Why Korean History?
You know how much I love sharing Korean food, language, and culture — one small bite at a time. 🍱✍️
But Korean history is a huge part of that story, too.
From the meaning behind lunar holidays to why certain foods are connected to ancestral rites, there's always a deeper layer worth exploring.
Now that I’m teaching it to kids, I’m learning how to explain those deep, sometimes complex topics in the simplest, friendliest way possible.
🧑🏫 What I’ve Learned So Far
Teaching children in Korean schools is humbling and energizing.
Kids ask the best questions. They notice the smallest details. And they always surprise me with what they already know — or don’t know yet!
It’s helping me see Korean culture through fresh, beginner-friendly eyes again — which is exactly what I want to bring back to Easy Korean Chat.
I’m not just teaching — I’m learning how to make Korean history feel alive and accessible for everyone.
🌱 What This Means for Easy Korean Chat
As I build more classroom experience, I’ll be using what I learn to bring you:
- Simple, fun blog posts about Korean history
- Easy-to-understand videos about cultural traditions
- Classroom-tested tips and activities to help you learn Korean naturally
My dream is to make Easy Korean Chat not just a language blog, but a space where anyone — young or old — can feel curious, confident, and connected to Korean culture.
💌 Let’s Grow Together!
If you’ve ever been curious about Korean history, or how kids in Korea learn about their culture — stay tuned.
I’ll be bringing stories straight from the classroom, and finding ways to make history easy, bite-sized, and fun for you too.
Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
Let’s keep learning — one small block at a time.
