Korean with Chaeeun

I am Chaeeun Lee from South Korea.
I have a strong interest in languages, and I have experience participating in an educational volunteering club during my time at a Korean university, and I also conducted mentoring for middle school students. I hope that my past experiences and my genuine interest in this field will be of great help in participating in and running the Language Cafe. In the Language Cafe, I plan to generally cover Korean culture as well, focusing on the Korean language through diverse fun content such as games and songs. I would like to exchange practical knowledge rather than theoretical concepts.

Korean with Seongeun

Hello everyone!
My name is Seong-eun Lim, an exchange student from Kyung Hee University in South Korea, majoring in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. I love meeting new people and have experience as a student council president, where I learned how to create a fun and friendly atmosphere.
At the Language Café, I want to share my passion for Korean language and culture through engaging topics like K-pop, dramas, and movies. Depending on your level, I’ll prepare interactive and enjoyable sessions to help you learn Korean naturally while exploring Korean culture together.
Join me for a relaxed and fun time — let’s learn, laugh, and connect through language!

Polish with Pawel

Cześć! My name is Paweł and I'm an exchange student from Poland studying law in Osnabrück this semester. I come from Kraków, the beautiful city of Polish kings. I love foreign languages - learning a new language is an amazing chance to meet new people and connect with them on a different level. I want to put the time I'm spending in Germany to good use and share some of my love for languages and Poland with you!
If you want to learn about Poland, its culture, cuisine and, above all, language, you should definitely visit the Language Café. Polish might seem very difficult at first, but I promise it isn't as hard as you would think. 
Looking forward to meeting you at the Language Café! Do zobaczenia!
