Guide to Apartment Hunting in South Korea

A Guide to Apartment Hunting in South Korea: Tips and Apps to Make it Easier

So, you’ve landed a gig teaching English in South Korea—congrats! Now, onto the next big hurdle: finding a place to call home. Trust me, I’ve been there. Navigating the housing market in a foreign country can feel like solving a puzzle, but fear not! With a bit of know-how and the right apps in your arsenal, you’ll be kicking back in your own Korean flat in no time.

Let me level with you—I’ve been through the ups and downs of the apartment hunt myself. It took me quite some time of searching and living in less-than-ideal accommodations before I stumbled upon a building that felt like home. After exploring numerous options and enduring a few less-than-pleasant living situations, I finally found a building that caught my eye.
Determined to make it mine, I visited their real estate office and had a chat with the agent. Despite no available flats at the time, I left my number, hoping for a stroke of luck. And guess what? A couple of months later, I received the call I’d been waiting for—a perfect flat was opening up, and to top it off, it was on the side of the building I preferred. You can actually find it on KOLARIS’s social media channels–check it out when you get a chance!

Getting to Know the Lay of the Land:

Alright, first things first, let’s talk about what you’re up against. Before diving into the apartment hunt, it’s essential to understand the housing market in South Korea. In major cities like Seoul, Busan, and Daegu, you’ll find a variety of housing options ranging from studio apartments to larger flats. Prices can vary significantly depending on factors such as location, size, and amenities.

Apps That’ll Be Your New Besties:

Now, let’s get down to business. Here are a few apps that’ll be your trusty sidekicks on this apartment hunting adventure:

Zigbang: Think of Zigbang as your personal real estate guru. It’s one of the most popular real estate apps in South Korea and it’s got everything you need to scout out the perfect apartment—location, price range, housing type, you name it. Plus, it provides detailed listings with photos, descriptions, and contact information for landlords or real estate agents.

Dabang: Similar to Zigbang, Dabang is another useful app for finding apartments in South Korea. It’s got a slick interface, tons of listings, and handy filters to help you narrow down your search. Bonus points for providing info on nearby hotspots like supermarkets and eateries.

Airbnb: Yep, you read that right. While Airbnb might be known for short-term stays, it’s also a goldmine for ESL teachers on the hunt for a more permanent spot. Many hosts offer sweet deals for long-term stays, so don’t overlook it as a potential option. Trust me, I speak from experience. When I found myself in between apartments, Airbnb came to the rescue, offering a range of short-term rental options at affordable prices.

Tips to Seal the Deal:

Now that you’ve got your apps locked and loaded, here are a few insider tips to help you snag that dream apartment:

Crunch Those Numbers: Before you dive headfirst into the apartment hunt, figure out your budget. Factor in things like utilities and transportation costs so you don’t end up in over your head.

Location, Location, Location: You know what they say—location is key. I had my heart set on being close to the beach, as well as near a metro station for easy commuting. Thankfully, my apartment checked both boxes. When choosing your neighborhood, prioritize what matters most to you—whether it’s proximity to work, amenities, or favorite spots. The right location can make all the difference in making your new place feel like home.

Get Up Close and Personal: Once you’ve found a few contenders, don’t be shy about scheduling viewings. If you’re dealing with agents who don’t speak English, no worries! Just fire off a message using apps like “Papago” for smooth communication. During the viewings, keep an eye out for cleanliness, maintenance, and the neighborhood vibe. These little details will help you decide if it’s the right fit for you.

Work Your Charm: Last but not least, don’t be afraid to negotiate. Landlords are often open to haggling over rent, deposit, and lease terms, especially if you’re willing to commit to a long-term stay.

So there you have it, folks. Apartment hunting in South Korea might seem like a daunting task, but armed with the right tools and a can-do attitude, you’ll be living your best life abroad in no time. Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy studio or a spacious flat with a killer view, there’s something out there with your name on it. Happy hunting!

Coming Full Circle: My Journey Back to Teaching English in Korea

This article is part of a series. To see the other articles in this series, click the links below:

Facing the Decision: Saying Goodbye to Korea

When the end of my second year was approaching and the hagwon I was working at asked me if I would be staying for a third year, I had to take some time to think about it. I loved Daegu, I loved my coworkers, and I had had a couple of years with great students. However, I hadn’t seen my family in three years (we lived in different provinces and couldn’t visit each other during the Covid-19 pandemic), and most of the close friends I’d made were leaving Korea that same year, too. Going home just seemed to make sense as the next step for me, so I booked my plane ticket and left at the end of my second year.

(Leaving my friends was one of the hardest parts…)

Navigating Reverse Culture Shock

I find that no one really discusses the intense reverse culture shock that can come with moving home after living abroad. I’ve lived in multiple places in Europe before, but never felt as out of place when coming home as I did when I returned from Korea. Though I had missed Canadian comfort food, the snow and the ease of my native language while I was away, I felt strangely out of place. I missed the friends that I had met (who became some of my closest friends for life), I missed my students, I missed my apartment. I missed the food, the Dancheong-colored traditional buildings, the hustle and bustle. I missed Korea.

(Cherry Blossom Season – aka the best season)

Missing Korea: The Place That Had Started to Feel Like Home

While living in Korea, I progressed quite well in learning the language. I began by self-teaching, but in my second year, I started to take one-on-one lessons. By the end of my second year, I was able to hold longer conversations, read signs and know where to go without asking, and even joke around with the ajummas at the grocery store. When I returned back to Canada, I continued my lessons, and found that I really missed hearing the beautiful Korean language around me all the time. I missed the traditional Korean roofs or “giwa” that could be found on both modern and older buildings, the green spaces that were spread throughout the city, the ease of calling a taxi or renting a Kakao bike.

(Traditional Korean giwa roofs)

Charting a Course: Exploring Career Options

I struggled for the first half of the year, telling myself that it was natural to miss the place I’d spent the last two years in. I pushed through it, trying to figure out a plan for the next few years in Canada. I looked into everything: getting my Early Childhood Education degree, going back to school and getting a Masters in Education, and some other options completely unrelated to teaching. For about six months, I worked at a seasonal cafe that opens for tourists in the summertime as a way to make some money. I didn’t mind being a barista there; my coworkers were great and the job wasn’t hard. My favourite part about it all, though, was meeting people who were visiting from all across the world.

Through these interactions and practicing my French language skills (since French is abundant in Canada, I studied it in school and love to speak it), I came to realize that what I love the most, what makes me the happiest, is being able to understand other people and cultures through language. And I love that through teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), I can help students grow their abilities to thrive in what’s swiftly becoming a multilingual world. Being able to communicate opens so many windows of possibility, and I love being able to teach that to young, curious minds. With this new revelation, I began to look at other countries I could possibly teach in across both Asia and Europe, but none of them seemed as appealing as Korea.

Embracing Change: Making the Bold Decision to Return

After my birthday in August, I knew I had decided where I wanted to be. I knew what job I enjoyed, and I knew that, simply, I missed being in Korea. Why did it have to be any more complicated than that? My whole life, I had always been told that I should be settled down by 30, but I never understood that mindset. There’s so much world out there, so why not go where you want to go and do what you want to do, regardless of age? It’s just a number!

In light of this revelation, I booked a couple of interviews, found a school that works for me, and signed a contract – all within a matter of weeks. Off I go! I’m so excited for this next chapter, and can’t wait to meet my new students, make new friends… and eat Korean BBQ straight from the source.

Teaching Tales from Daegu: Embracing Life as an English Teacher

This article is part 2 of a series. To read part 1, My Journey From Canada to South Korea, click here

My first two years in Korea were spent working at a hagwon in Daegu. The school’s six-hour morning classes ranged from the ages of five to eight, which were followed by two-hour afternoon classes where the students ranged from the ages of nine to fourteen. From March 1st to February 28th (the Korean school calendar year), each teacher kept the same homeroom class every day in the morning, and I really enjoyed getting to spend that much time with the same class, because I got to bond with them and see them grow. The afternoon classes varied between each teacher; some had beginner level classes while others had advanced academic classes. The hagwon I worked at was much more geared towards English immersion and discussion rather than book work and intense writing. My hours were Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm (though I often ended up arriving earlier or staying a bit later), and my apartment was a mere seven-minute walk from the school.

Morning Routine: Building Bonds with Kindergarten Students

In the first few months of my first year, I arrived at 8:30am and stayed until 6:30pm almost every day in order to catch up and finish prep for the following week. Since I was working as a kindergarten teacher in an immersion school, there was a lot of craft and activity prepping that had to be done alongside the lesson plans. However, in my second year, I hardly ever had to stay late to do that. I understand the workload can feel overwhelming at first, but once you get into your own rhythm, you’re set! (Pro tip that worked really well for me: lesson plan for two weeks ahead, even if it’s not required by your head teacher or boss; you can always edit or add things to it later, but the hard part will be done!)

Both years, my morning homeroom classes consisted of 14 four year olds. They were all in school for the first time, which came with its own challenges! Every morning, they would start to arrive around 9:10, and class officially started at 10:00am. Class began with circle time, where we sat on the carpet and went through our daily routine of good morning songs and discussion time. This was followed by milk or snack time, before we started our first lesson of the day. As the year progressed, these lessons shifted from me teaching them, to having the students write on our whiteboard themselves and helping to present the lessons with me.

(Gym Time!)

After lesson time, we headed to our allotted hour of “special activities” for the day. This rotated every day between gym, library, and media time. After this came lunch (which I ate in the classroom with the kids, which I’ve heard can be common at schools in Korea), and after lunch came our center time, where the students split into groups to participate in lesson-themed interactive activities, simple worksheets, writing practice, math, and more. And when we finished center time, it was already time to go home!

Different Teaching Styles and Challenges

As I mentioned, the school I worked at was very focused on immersion and getting the kids to learn not just proper grammar and writing, but to pick up on colloquial English as well, so my day could vary from other hagwons. While I understand the value of hitting the books, I really loved this style of immersion, and I found that my students learned incredibly quickly from it. Within the first few weeks, they were already starting to speak back to me in English. It was incredible!

My schedule after morning class is where things differed between my first year and my second year. In my first year, I had an hour-long prep time between my morning class and my afternoon programs that began at 3:30. In my second year, I worked straight from 9-5:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and had from 3:30-6:00 as prep time on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Obviously, the first schedule was preferable! Another tip: don’t be afraid to ask about your schedule and how much prep time you’ll get before you arrive. Often, they won’t be able to tell you your exact schedule until a few weeks before you arrive, since they won’t know which teachers you will be replacing until a certain date. However, they should be willing to let you know when they can. Never be afraid to ask questions!

In both my first and second years, I had afternoon classes that I enjoyed, and others that were much harder. I had a lower-level class of all ages that had students with both physical and mental disabilities; an out-of-control class of six-year olds who stayed after their morning class and just wanted to leave by the time they got to me; and two more advanced English classes with two different groups of the funniest, most clever nine and ten year olds. Honestly, it’s the same as teaching in any country (including back home in Canada) – you never know what cards you’ll be dealt. You just have to do your best!

(Leslie Teacher preparing for an elementary-level class lesson on why Jimin is her favourite member of BTS)

Conclusion: Thriving in Korean Work Culture

In summary, I loved my first time teaching in Korea. While it’s true that in Korean society, they say it looks good if you work extra hard, my philosophy is that as long as you know you worked hard, that’s all that matters! Just make sure to practice time management in a way that works for you, and know your boundaries, even if it feels weird to do so in a country that prioritizes work culture. Once I learned this, I thrived, and I didn’t find that work in Korea was any harder than teaching anywhere else. I’m even going back for a second round!

Your First Day as an English Teacher in South Korea: What to Expect

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hey there, future English teachers gearing up for your big move to South Korea! So, you’ve landed the job, packed your bags, and now you’re ready to take on your first day in the classroom. But what exactly can you expect? Let me walk you through it.

Preparing for Day One:

Before diving into your first day, you’ll likely already be in touch with an English teacher from your school. If not, I highly recommend reaching out and asking for some contact information. You might even be living in the same building, so why not suggest grabbing a coffee or walking to work together? It’s a great way to get some insider tips and tricks from someone who’s been there, done that.

Getting Acclimated:

Once you arrive at your school, you’ll be introduced to the staff and shown to your classroom. Don’t be surprised if you spend the first few days shadowing another teacher and making trips out with the staff for administrative tasks. You’ll be setting up your life in Korea, from getting your ARC card at immigration to setting up a Korean phone plan and bank account.

Ready, Set, Teach:

After all the admin and shadowing, you’ll finally be ready for your first day as a teacher. You’ll put all that training to use, but trust me, nothing beats the real thing. That’s why I recommend asking a coworker for a daily checklist of tasks to keep you on track. From taking attendance to grading assignments, having a routine will be a lifesaver.

Classroom Management 101:

One key to a successful classroom is establishing clear rules and expectations from day one. Print out a set of rules and hang them on the wall for easy reference. Make it a habit to have students recite the rules daily before starting the lesson. This will help you maintain order and address any misbehaviour quickly and effectively.

The Name Game:

On your first day, make sure to introduce yourself multiple times and ask your students for their English names (and make sure you’re saying them correctly!). Trust me, you don’t want to be like me and accidentally call a student “Hyena” for an entire term before realizing her name is actually “Hannah.” Lesson learned!

Establishing Relationships:

Finally, don’t stress too much on the first day. Focus on building a good relationship with your Korean coworkers—they can be invaluable resources and mentors. I was lucky to have a coworker who understood the challenges of being new to a country and was always there to lend a hand. So, there you have it—your guide to surviving your first day as an English teacher in South Korea. Remember to breathe, take it one step at a time, and most importantly, enjoy the adventure! Cheers to new beginnings and unforgettable experiences. You’ve got this!

My Journey From Canada to South Korea

This article is part 1 of a series. To read part 2, Teaching Tales from Daegu: Embracing Life as an English Teacher, click here

In December of 2019, after graduating from university, I moved out of my family home and settled in Ottawa (the capital city of Canada) – six hours from where I had grown up. I was working at a bilingual French cafe as a manager while I prepared to start a Masters Program at the University of Ottawa, when Covid-19 hit in March of 2020.

When my workplace (and most other businesses) inevitably closed for a month, I began to take socially-distanced walks with my Korean friend, Changa, who I had met at work. Through chatting, I learned more about where she came from, what her life was like back home, and became super intrigued with Korean culture and history. These walks and her friendship became a lifeline for me during the pandemic, and when she had to cut her work visa short and return home, I missed her dearly.

Another lifeline for me during these times was, yes, K-Pop. BTS’ Life Goes On was one of my most-played songs of 2020. K-Pop was simple fun, and made me so incredibly happy. When work opened back up, BTS’ Dynamite was the first song I played every Saturday morning before our busiest shift to hype up my workers. I began to study the history of K-Pop alongside the history of Korea itself. As an undergraduate history major, the history of South Korea was new and incredibly fascinating

I became more and more curious. I had previously taught in France and Italy, so the concept of teaching overseas wasn’t new to me, but I had never so much as visited anywhere in Asia. I had heard of people teaching in places like South Korea, Japan, and China, but had never looked into it before. I messaged Changa, who was now living back home in Korea, and asked her tons of questions. What was life like in Korea? What was it like to teach there? What was different for her in Canada when she was here? I discovered soon after that an old classmate of mine from university was living and teaching in Korea too, and I didn’t hesitate to reach out and ask him about it. He raved, on and on, about how much he enjoyed it there, and I was getting more and more convinced.

First visit to Gyeongbukgung Palace with Changa! (During the pandemic)

The pandemic had changed a lot for me in terms of realizing what I wanted, the direction I wanted my life to go in, and the things I cared about. I had decided to rescind my Masters Program acceptance to study History, and while trying to figure out what my next steps were, I couldn’t stop thinking about Korea. My roommates at the time were so supportive; I distinctly remember one of them simply saying, “Why wouldn’t you go?” and I realized that they were right. What was stopping me? Why not try? I decided to start looking, browsing through countless online forums, applying to multiple recruitment agencies, and setting up some interviews. When I got offered a job at a school in Daegu that fit all of my requirements, I snatched up the opportunity and didn’t look back.

Don’t get me wrong – I was terrified. I didn’t speak the language, I didn’t know much about actually living in Korea, and I only had a couple of friends there. I would also be leaving my family and friends in Canada, many of whom I hadn’t seen in over a year because of the pandemic. That was another big factor: the pandemic was still ongoing at the time, and travel was only just beginning to be normalized again. But I knew what I really wanted to do despite all of that, and had everyone’s support to go for it.

I began to take Korean lessons a few months before I went to learn the basics, joined all the expat communities I could find on Facebook, and did as much research as I could. It appeared that the coronavirus situation was being handled well in Korea, and I felt reassured by all of the country’s immigration protocols. However, I also knew that the only way to truly understand what Korea was like was to just do it: to pack up and go. So I did.

On my way!

In conclusion, there wasn’t one single reason why I decided to move to Korea. It all kind of happened randomly for me, and I’m so grateful that it did. I left Ottawa after preparing for months, packing and repacking my suitcases about 20 times, until the day of my flight came. I said goodbye to my brother at the airport, and off I went. 17 hours of travel later, I landed at Incheon Airport with no idea what waited for me in the next two years.

Choosing the Right Age Group to Teach ESL in Korea

Welcome future ESL teachers to this guide on choosing the ideal age group to teach English in Korea! Deciding which age group to work with can significantly impact your teaching experience and overall satisfaction during your time in Korea. Let’s explore the different options available and help you make an informed decision.

Kindergarten:

Teaching English to kindergarten-aged children can be a delightful and rewarding experience. Young learners are enthusiastic and eager to absorb new knowledge, making each day full of energy and excitement. However, it requires a lot of patience, creativity, and energy to keep them engaged. If you have a passion for early childhood education and enjoy using interactive activities and songs to teach, kindergarten might be the perfect fit for you.

Elementary School:

Elementary school students in Korea are typically between the ages of 7 and 12 years old. Teaching English at this level offers a balance between the energy of younger children and the ability to have meaningful conversations and activities. You’ll have the opportunity to help students develop their language skills and foster a love for learning. If you enjoy working with children and want to make a lasting impact on their education, elementary school could be a great choice.

Middle School and High School:

Teaching English to middle and high school students provides a different set of challenges and rewards. These students are more independent and capable of engaging in deeper discussions and academic tasks. You’ll have the chance to explore complex topics and help students prepare for exams and future academic pursuits. If you have a passion for language and literature and enjoy working with older students, middle and high school could be a fulfilling option.

Adult Learners:

Teaching English to adult learners offers a unique experience and allows you to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and professions. Adult students are often highly motivated and committed to improving their language skills for personal or professional reasons. You’ll have the opportunity to tailor your lessons to their specific needs and interests, whether it’s conversational English, business English, or exam preparation. If you enjoy building relationships with learners and facilitating their language development, teaching adults could be a rewarding choice.

Ultimately, the best age group to teach depends on your interests, personality, and teaching style. Consider your strengths, preferences, and goals when making your decision. Remember that each age group offers its own set of challenges and rewards, so take the time to explore your options and choose the path that aligns with your passion for teaching English in Korea.

We hope this guide has been helpful in navigating the decision-making process. Good luck on your teaching journey in Korea!
