Andrew Lee was born in Korea and spent 13 years living in the U.S. and 8 years in Canada before returning to Korea. He’s a cross-cultural expert with firsthand experience in adapting to new cultures. Andrew holds a TESL certification and has extensive experience teaching English and helping people overcome culture shock.

During his time in Canada, he worked with international students to support their integration and community-building. Now, in Korea, he’s focused on creating multicultural communities through language exchange programs, cultural events, and language education. His mission is to help people from diverse backgrounds connect and thrive together.

The MAC Program is designed for internationals in Korea, including English teachers, international students, working professionals, multicultural family members, and anyone looking to learn Korean and make local friends.

The Learn-Apply Cycle is perfect for you! This method focuses on practical, real-life language use, making it easier to learn and remember. You’ll be practicing Korean in fun, low-pressure situations, so you don’t have to worry about struggling with traditional language learning methods.

You’ll spend a few hours each week learing through Mini Class and participating in the activities. The program is designed to fit into your busy schedule while still providing effective learning and social integration.

Yes! The MAC Program is specifically designed to help you connect with locals. By participating in group activities with both Korean and non-Korean participants, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to build meaningful relationships.

It’s normal to feel nervous, but the MAC Program is all about creating a supportive and encouraging environment. You’ll be practicing with others who are also learning, and you’ll receive positive feedback and guidance to help build your confidence.

Absolutely not! The MAC Program combines learning with fun, real-life activities. You won’t be stuck in a classroom—this is about applying what you learn in the real world, with real people, in enjoyable and interactive settings.

No special materials are required. Just bring yourself, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn and participate!

We strongly recommend the mini classes because they’re very effective. However, we understand that some may already have high language skills and don’t need the extra help. In that case, we allow up to 2 people per circle to join activities only. For this option, we offer an activities-only plan for 100,000₩ per month. If you’re interested, please contact us via chat or phone.

Learning a language for real-life communication takes time, so it’s best to be patient and enjoy the process. Here’s what you can generally expect: after 1 year, you’ll be able to form basic sentences and express yourself, even if you stumble a bit. After 2 years, you’ll start speaking with more ease and confidence. By the 3rd year, you’ll be able to have deeper conversations on simple topics.

On the other hand, making local Korean friends can happen right away through our activities! Once you connect with them, you'll gain access to a wealth of language, cultural, and local knowledge. Plus, having friends to practice with helps you improve your language skills even faster. So, just take it step by step, and enjoy the journey!
