Alien registration assistance.

Once you’ve arrived in Korea, you’re required to make two trips to your local immigration office to file for and then pick up your alien registration card. Depending on your school location, LiveEnglish will personally accompany you there to translate and help you with the paperwork.

Dealing with official, government business can be daunting and, let’s be frank, a major hassle—especially in a foreign language! Whenever possible, we want to be there to help you get this important paperwork processed so that you can focus your attention on other more entertaining things!

Practicalities assistance.

You probably will be interested in getting a cell phone, internet service, and cable TV to make your stay in Korea more convenient and comfortable. We will help you get what you need set up so that you’ll have those creature comforts taken care of. In recent years, Korea has become more foreigner-friendly—that is, it’s increasingly easier for non-Koreans to purchase cell phone plans, for example—and a lot of foreigners are able to sign up for wi-fi without difficulty. We’re still here to help you do all that, though, if you’re still feeling timid.

Cultural information.

Any time you have questions about life or work in Korea, feel free to ask us and we’ll answer to the best of our knowledge! We want you to be prepared and well-informed so you won’t be caught off guard in any situation while living and teaching in Korea. If something happened and you’re left scratching your head and baffled, by all means, feel free to ask us so we can help you understand what went on and how, if necessary, to avoid finding yourself repeating that experience.

Korean lessons.

Let’s face it—getting around in a foreign country can be tough when you don’t speak the language. LiveEnglish offers weekly classes that teach you practical phrases you can use on a daily basis. It’s just our way of making sure you’re able to get by just fine—after all, we don’t want this adventure abroad to turn into an ongoing struggle when it comes to something as simple as ordering a meal!
