Welcome to the 41st episode of the Hagwon Startup Podcast. Today I will be addressing the competitive nature of the private school system here in South Korea.
I am an Expat with close to a decade and a half of ESL experience. I operate a private language school franchise in the city of Ulsan, South Korea and know a thing or two about starting and operating an ESL business in South Korea. In this podcast I share some of my ideas and knowledge with a wider audience and also hope to learn new things along the way. I hope to provide our viewers with insights on how to start a Hagwon in South Korea, discuss some pitfalls and success stories, and bring an overall awareness to the beginning and running of innovative companies.
Teaching English in Korea comes with a lot of challenges for both the teachers and owners. In discussions with our guests I try to cover as many topics related to Hagwon Startups and teaching English in Korea as well as globally as our combined experience of this field allows.
As the Living Korea channel matures, and the Hagwon Startup Podcast chugs along, my goal is to include more episodes, in which I get to talk to interesting people doing exciting things in South Korea, outside of their regular teaching professions.
Do expect the unexpected though, as we do not shy away from off-
topic conversation.

Thai restaurant in Onyang near Busan is a small family oriented place, although we were the only family there, really. For the most part it seems the place was visited by either couples or pairs of people who may not necessarily have been romantically involved.
In any case, this place is a rabbits hop away from the Jinha beach which you can make a stop at once done with your grub to work off the energy.
You can find the restaurant here:

Today, Korea experienced one of the worst level of air pollution since I arrived here in 2005. That and other news on Korea.
About me:
I am an Expat with close to a decade and a half of ESL experience. I am the Franchising Director for Shane English Korea based out of Uslan, South Korea and know a thing or two about starting and operating an ESL business. I have also lived in South Korea since 2005, and although far from an authority figure on the cultural intricacies of the South Korea culture, I have some basic understanding of why things are the way they are, which I hope to share with those willing to liste. In this podcast I share some of my ideas and knowledge with a wider audience and also hope to learn new things along the way. I hope to provide our viewers with insighlts on how to start a Hagwon in South Korea, discuss some pitfalls and success stories, and bring an overall awareness to the beginning and running of innovative companies.
The most recent focus of the podcast has been on interviewing expats who reside in South Kroea and spend their livelihood doing things beyond teaching. With that I hope to bring some insight into the possibilities open to expats living and working in South Korea, beyond teaching.
Over the past 99 episodes, I have had the pleasure of sitting down with some pretty interesting individuals and I hope to continue this for the foreseable future.

Lucy and I visit the IKEA store located in Gijang, Busan. We also make a quick stop at a coffe shop along the coast on the way to IKEA.
It's not very often that we get to go out on a date of sorts, so this was a rare occasion. A date without kids, as someone called it. That's precisely what this was.

Welcome back to the 23rd installment of our Hagwon Startup Podcast. Tonight's episode will focus around Jack C. Richard's "Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching".
I have had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Richards over the weekend at the National KOTESOL conference in Jongju South Korea, which prompted me to review some of his texts I have used in the past for my M.A. dissertation in Applied Linguistics.
