probably looking in Korea would be a good place to start!
Word around the campfire is a lot of people speak it there.  |

| My wife is an excellent Korean teacher. She hasn't had any lessons in a while because we just had a baby a while back, but she is looking to start up again. Where do you live? |

I disagree. Getting a Korean girlfriend totally made me lose the incentive to learn. Instead, I just started letting her do everything for me that involved Korean. |

I hired a wonderful Korean tutor at www.koreanlesson.net. She's been tutoring me for the last 5 months and I've had a great time learning from her. I'm almost finished the Sogang 1B textbook after 2 months with her.
Unfortunately, it's kind've pricey, but it's worth it as she does come to your house on time and is very focused at what she does. |

They're charging almost as much as native English teachers  |

Also agree that it is not a good idea. YOu won't see your gf as a teacher and will thus be lazy around her. SHe will also probably get annoyed if you are asking her questions all the time. As much as the "get a gf/bf" solution gets thrown around, it isn't as effective as one thinks UNLESS, a korean girl/guy that doesn't speak nor have one inkling of interest in learning English is willing to date you. Maybe it it is just me but I don't think that happens very often. |

Language exchange.
http://www.hanlingo.com
Your partner usually wants to practice speaking. In exchange they teach you Korean. In general your partner won't be a professional Korean teacher, but many of the people you find on this type site are language students at university.
If nothing else, you can make a local friend who is in no way connected to your school. |

| Language exchange for a beginner? No. That will be like 80% English and 20% Korean, if that. Get enrolled in a class or get that private tutor you're asking for! and study for real~ |

If the K GF/BF doesn't speak English good, then it would be ideal.
Mine speaks better than me, and crushes me grammar-wise. Embarrassing really. |
