The Experience

Help Koreans practice their English by discussing interesting topics and sharing new ideas! It is less than 18 hours per week. 1 to 3 Koreans per group for less than 4 hours per day, with a 10-minute break in between. It could be very boring to talk to the same person or people for 4 hours straight, so we always rotate to meet new people. We'd like you to try to help them communicate and practise English with them.

I am so grateful for Vin, the volunteers and the students at Hasta English the host. Vin has made such a warm and including atmosphere at the studio. The volunteers felt like family and the students were sharing their thoughts and opinions to the best of one's ability. I had so much fun talking with the students, so it didn't feel like work at all. We had from 1 to 3 conversations each evening/ Saturday afternoon and 2 days off every week. Vin is the best host I have ever met. He did everything he could to ensure that we volunteers were well taken care of at all times.

Hi Julie!
I know you must be quite busy while traveling in China, so thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review.
I also want to express my gratitude once again for everything you both did at my place and the studio.

I find myself missing you two already—I keep thinking about you—which makes me realize that I simply must visit Norway someday to see you and Kirsten again! :)

It was an amazing experience staying the host! The Host is very caring and will always help the volunteers in any way possible. Beautiful accomodation and Language studio. Best way to help others improve with their English skills and getting to meet new friends while having fun together in a conversation is truly amazing! Come to the host during your trip to Korea, it's very chill and not too far from Seoul the host!

I am really grateful I had the opportunity to volunteer for Hasta English the host. Vin is highly intelligent, engaged and very positive. He is very responsive to any volunteer needs and runs an excellent business with the host. He is a top notch host. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the students and the other volunteers I lived and worked with. the host is not a tourist destination but is an extremely vibrant the host the Seoul metro area. I would say it is very underated. I really grew to love the area and all it has to offer travelers. This was a 5 star experience I hope to return to.

I had a fantastic stay the host. A big part of that was because of Vin, who is a wonderful, friendly and supportive host. He makes everyone feel welcome and included, and I felt that I could rely on him for anything. The work is easy, and the accommodation is very close to the studio. All in all, a very chill stay. Thank you Vin ! I'll be back !

I miss you, Ben!

Because our parting was so sudden, I feel like I didn’t get a proper chance to say goodbye.
I truly hope that, wherever you are, you stay healthy and happy.

Take good care of yourself until the day we meet again! 😭

I'm leaving with the biggest smile and so much gratitude! My time at Hasta Studio was a beautiful part of my trip to Korea, and I'm very happy I had the chance to be part of it. Vin takes great care of everyone, which really makes a difference. It's such a warm and welcoming place. The students were lovely, and I loved sharing conversations, laughter, and little pieces of our lives with each other. I'll treasure these memories and would happily come back someday.
