Hey folks,
so I got a trip planned for South Korea in December, and I kinda want to get a grasp of the language. I have 0 expectations, other than being able to read it a little, know some words and be able to hold up a very basic conversation. Anything more than that i'd consider a win.
I'm currently taking my time the next few days to learn the Korean Alphabet, Hangul, but I kind of want to take some online classes with an actual tutor. Unfortunately there's currently no class running in the city i live in. It starts in October and lasts about 8 online sessions for a little over 400 euros. I could try and self study by reading up on books about vocab, grammar, or other materials, but having to go through that proces solo just doesn't work for me unfortunately.
So I've been looking around online and first ended up finding Preply, which seems to offer a ton of tutors in different price ranges. The few introduction videos seem alright, and I like that they seem to offer a guided structure to their material, and Preply allows for the whole syllabus thing through their site.
Having said that, last night i also got word of Italki, a similar platform for tutors and students to connect. But one of the downsides that i can see with Italki is that it doesn't necessarily uses a subscription system, but requires you to plan each individual class. My fear is that by doing that, the chance of me skipping a class or eventually just dropping the system completely is fairly high knowing yself.
Are there any specific reasons to pick one platform over the other? (other than a preference for a specific tutor).
