Mainly for things like motivational stickers, posters, planners and such in English as well.
Thanks for the help! |

Good luck with that search.
Either I am becoming far sighted, or there just isn't any. |

am not sure exactly what you're looking for but most bookstores carry an assortment of English teaching supplies; some more than others.
are you in or near Seoul? Kyobo is the biggest, there's also bandi and luni (or something like that), and another one
also the larger office stores, ABC Mart is good - some of them, they vary in size
the larger stationary stores sometimes
Emart and other large dept stores - Lotte Mart |

There is an excellent supply chain store all over the city called Kidari. I think their website is www.ikidari.co.kr.
Ask a Korean for help with locations. I only know of the one by Nowon Station in northern Seoul (lines 4 and 7).
They only stock English learning material- textbooks, storybooks, posters, tapes, flashcards, etc. Has materials for all ages and levels.
It's marvelous! And the staff speak English too ^^ |

I managed to find ikidari after two weekends of trying to find it.
I went to address on their website in Balsan (West Seoul) which is the office and doesn't have a shop.
So found out that there is one shop in Mokdong (Exit 7) and the one at Nowon which scamps was talking about. Not the easiest place to find so I took pics to help.
Take exit 7 from Nowon station. Walk straight ahead past the Kyobo Insurance building on your right.
You want the building in the far background of this photo.
To the left of the GS25 (on the ground floor) is a doorway which you go through. Take the lift up to the 6th floor, and you're there.
Really good selection of books, tapes and games. Really nice. They even have a lounge for you to sit and read the books. I might have to go back next week because they had 'Monopoly' the board game. The phone number for that shop is: 02 3391 0515. You will hear an automated message, press #3 and that'll put you through to the shop. |

Do they have mystery teachers like in gift shops. You know? The kind where they're wrapped in brown paper bag material? |

| Are those pictures both of Nowon, or is one Mokdong and one Nowon? Is the Mokdong one easier to spot? |

Both are Nowon. The second photo of the building is the one in the far background of the first pic. Just for reference.
After being unsuccessful last weekend in Balsan (finding the office) I followed Scamps advice about the Nowon one. Still took me a good three hours to find it, and my co-teacher phoning around to their central office, who said there was ONLY ONE in Mokdong. So as I started to make my way to Mokdong, they phoned her back and said there WAS actually one in Nowon as well. That's why I posted pics so it'll be a lot easier for others to find.  |

Right from what my co-teacher told me, was that it was near Exit 7. Their phone number was 02 2690 3695. Probably the same thing by pressing #3 on the automated system. They speak English as well from what she said. Hope this helps. |

Thanks for the offer Scamps. I was walking round thinking 'now scamps said it was right next to station'. Coupled together with never really learning that Seoul is actually quite big and that you really need to have some idea where you need to go. Still I got to walk round Nowon a bit and marveled at just how many noraebangs there are are near the station. I also saw a soju'ed up man kissing a poster of a western man. How was it for him? I've no idea. I imagine he woke up very happy thinking he'd made out with a western guy.

I've been marked down 70% due to brain damage.  |
