Full Membership Introduction

👥 Welcome to TingSsam’s Membership

What do you get as a Decoding Korea member?

Basic ($14.99/month): for vlog episodes, a members-only clean-screen video, a study workbook PDF and the full-episode MP3; for podcast episodes, a study workbook PDF with the complete transcript and the full 3-round MP3; plus the members-only Discord community and, for episodes with a real conversation, the Full Conversation uncut video. Plus ($24.99/month) adds personal feedback on your workbook once a month from Tingssam.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve taught Korean to learners all over the world.
Through online lessons, YouTube, and real-life meetups in Seoul, I’ve connected with thousands of students.

And here’s something I truly believe:

Learning lasts longer — and is more fun — when we do it together.

That’s why I created this membership.
Not just for lessons, but for real connection.
To learn, share, and grow with a community of people who love the Korean language and culture.
