MaruIn person

Once a month, in the same room.

마루 is a floor you sit on, not a place you log into. So once a month we use a real one — the same conversation, in person, for however long it runs.

The first Thursday of the month, 7pm, in Yongsan.

  • Thu 7 January 202719:00 – 21:00Table

Two kinds

Sometimes there’s a subject. Sometimes there’s just lunch.

Both are the same group of people. Come to whichever one sounds easier — nobody keeps count.

Table

One subject for the evening. I teach a few Korean expressions that fit it, and then everyone talks.

Evenings, 7pm

Lunch

No subject, no plan. We eat, and the conversation goes wherever it goes. Easier if it is your first time.

Daytime

How a Table evening goes

So you know what you’re walking into.

  1. 7:00We introduce ourselves. If we have met before, it is just catching up.
  2. 7:20I teach a few Korean expressions you will actually use that night.
  3. 7:40The subject. Everyone says what they think — nobody is asked to perform.
  4. 8:50We wrap up, and whoever wants to stay, stays.

No Korean required. Most of the evening runs in English.
