Learning Korean Language ( K-pop / K-Drama / K-Literature)

From 79.98 C$ /h

I am a South Korean poet and actor.
I currently live in the Netherlands.
Last year, I taught children at a Korean language school in Eindhoven.

Because I was an actor, my Korean pronunciation is very accurate and can be of great help in developing your Korean conversation skills.
Also, since I am a poet, I can also teach classes on Korean literature.
In the Netherlands I make a living as a musician. So, it is possible to take classes to learn Korean while learning K-pop.

I express my gratitude to all of you who love the Korean language and love Korea, and I will be ready to experience the beauty of the Korean language with you and actively help you!

Please write about why you like Korean and your goals in learning Korean.

Vocal Training (Jazz / K-pop / Pop / Theater / Vocology )

79.98 C$ /h

- LINA / Jazz Vocalist/ Composer / Musical Actress / Pop vocal trainer /

The voice is our greatest means of expressing ourselves. I have been teaching people as a vocal trainer for over 10 years. The most important thing in my class is discovering ‘your own unique voice.’ The focus is on understanding your body, discovering your own unique voice, and using it freely. Recognize the information contained in your own voice and work together to find out what you want to express through your voice.
It could be jazz/improvisation, a theater song or a pop song. The goal is to be able to sing with your own voice without any genre restrictions.
Be yourself! Let me help you!

In the Poetry workshop you will learn the basics of writing poetry. The form, the content and the theme are widely discussed.
But we also discuss the history of literature, we pay attention to reading, and we analyze poems.

After this workshop you will be able to write poems in a convincing way.

For my poetry, below is a review by Hans Franse in Meander.

EXTENDED

The sun so exuberant and the people
the nakedness of the trees and the thaw
the coming of spring and the prey

of a seagull in the shining river
boats in the harbor and a wind keyboard
under a deck of steel-grey clouds

the people delighted and the trees
on melodious streets and the quay
the glamorous sparkle of the glass

in blue storefronts God's grace
the people one on their exuberant terrace

Somehow this poem reminds me of Marsman in music and rhythm 'and in the floodplains / the horses gallop / with billowing tails / over billowing grass'. Every now and then I seem to recognize JC Bloem's gloomy outlook on life, but those are compliments.
In summary, I think this collection is very readable. They are well-constructed and musically formed poems that sometimes conceal a strong social feeling through a mild irony. It seems to me that the poet suffers from this world, that he seeks the "entrance of heaven." Perhaps the poet also suffers as a Brabander in Amsterdam: no greater contrast than a warm Brabant village pub and the Hoppe café on Spuistraat. A beautiful book, beautifully arranged. After an initial hesitation about a melancholy that I mistakenly regarded as negativity, which I recognized too late, I read it with great pleasure and sometimes emotion.
