Description

Not everyone has access to 1:1 Korean lessons or real-time feedback. But that doesn’t mean you can’t improve.


In this week’s episode of TOPIK & Beyond, Eliza shares how to start reviewing your Korean writing and speaking like a native teacher would. Whether you’re prepping for TOPIK or just want to feel more confident, you’ll learn how to spot mistakes, self-edit, and build real progress between lessons.


And yes—Eliza admits this episode is a little risky for her as a teacher 😉 But helping you become more independent is part of her job too.


In this episode, you’ll learn:



  • What native teachers look for first when reviewing writing

  • How to track your personal grammar and vocab mistakes

  • How to “rewrite it better” and build fluency through revision

  • Simple tools and prompts to start self-correcting today

  • How this builds long-term speaking and writing confidence



TOPIK Focus:
🎯 How to improve your score by self-editing in TOPIK Writing Part I & II
🎯 Sentence clarity, flow, and natural tone over complex grammar


Study Challenge:
Choose a short writing sample (5–6 sentences) and apply today’s tips to revise it.
Then:
📩 Email Eliza at [your email] with the subject "Self-Correction Practice" and get a quick tip or suggestion from her!
