Welcome to EKLL (Esther's Korean Language Lab)
EKLL is a premier online institute dedicated to teaching Korean to adult learners from diverse backgrounds and proficiency levels. Led by Esther, an experienced and certified Korean-language instructor, EKLL delivers structured, communicative, and culturally grounded instruction in a live virtual format.
All Winter courses are designed as a 10-week program, meeting once a week for 2 hours per session, to ensure steady progress and meaningful language practice. Our classes emphasize practical usage, reading and listening comprehension, grammar in context, and personalized feedback to help each student progress with confidence.
