Language Exchange Cafe in Bucheon City

Hi there!
I"m Oscar and I"ve been running a kind of cafe where Koreans and foreigners can meet up to learn about their own culture and experience while having a conversation in English. This cafe doesn't actually sell coffee or tea but we do provide them with a great chance to make local friends for those who are from all over the world. As we are a kind of language cafe, it is all spoken in English which means we need someone who can speak good English. This cafe is for Koreans who want to practice English with foreigners and build good friendships. We welcome whoever is open-minded to the diversity and various cultures. Respecting each other is really important since we have all different nationalities. It doesn't really matter though you're not from English-speaking countries as long as you have a good English speaking level because you will have a conversation with Koreans in English about many interesting topics and share your idea with them. It's normally 18 hrs a week sometimes less than that. There will be 1-3 Koreans with you for maximum 4 hrs a day and on each hour you will have a 10-minute break in between. If you talk to the same person/people for 4 hrs straight, that might be very boring so we always rotate to meet new people. We would like you to try to help them talk and practice English with you. Meanwhile, you can learn how Koreans think, act, and live and also can make good friends. When you have your time off, you can travel around and out of the city with people from the cafe together.

The cafe is located in central Bucheon which is just next to west Seoul here in Korea. It"s very close to a very well-known Department store LOTTE which you can look around and chill. Of course there are a lot of good restaurants, cafes and shops which can make your staying here better. Moreover this city is crowded like Seoul which means there are many things and chances you can look around and learn the real Korean city life style.

We are also close just 10~15mins distance to Seoul where you can go by subway whenever you want and it only takes around half an hour by bus from Incheon airport.

At the cafe, I can guarantee you that you will have a plenty of chance to meet locals who are interested in sharing the different cultures and experiences. You can also go out with them for meals, picnic, day trip, coffee, seasonal party and so on whenever you both meet the time convenient for you.

《Accommodation》
We have a nice 2 room condominium apartment which has 1 bathroom, kitchen and the living room.
I'm sure you guys would be satisfied with it. It is just 3~4minutes away from the cafe on foot which means you don"t have to spend your money for travelling to go and come.

It's a condominium including nice city view.
Everything is shared in the accommodation including 2 rooms (2-4 ppl), bathrooms, kitchen and the living room. In there, we also share the laundry machine, refrigerator, air condition, dining table, water purifier machine, toaster, microwave, hsir dryer, free-wifi and all the cooking utensils. We provide you with enough food and ingredients at the accommodation. Here are what we provide: rice, bread, ramen, eggs, oils, sugar, salt and almost all of the kitchen utensils.

As we are a kind of language cafe, it is all spoken in English, so we need someone who can speak good English. This cafe is for Koreans who want to practice English with foreigners and build good friendships. We welcome whoever is open mined to the diversity and various cultures. Respecting each other is really important since we all have different nationalities. It doesn't really matter though you're not from English-speaking countries as long as you have a good English speaking level because you will have a conversation with Koreans in English about a lot of interesting topics and share your idea with them. Our staffs including me care always you guys and listen to your voices :) I'll try to adapt your guys' needs!

I stayed there for two weeks and I had a really good time. The work is absolutely doable and fun. You get to know different people and cultures. Oscar is very friendly and provides a nice accommodation. The only negative thing for me are the beds. They are broken and it’s hard to get a good sleep

Overall a good experience. We got in touch with some locals and they were quite friendly, their English was mostly advanced beginner to intermediate, though some were not engaging in the conversation and so you just had to keep coming up with questions to ask them. The “provided meals” are just ramen, rice, toast and eggs so the rest you have to buy yourself. The beds are not really nice as they are broken and we were only provided zip ties to fix them, worked out alright but they should be replaced!
I would recommend this place, it’s doable even if English is not your native language.

This was my first time volunteering and it's the best decision l've ever made! I met amazing people, made new friends and got to connect with locals. The apartment where we stay is near the metro station, and Seoul is just and hour away. The only downside is the food, it’s mostly ramen, eggs, and rice. But overall, it was a great experience !!
