This course is really a great start to learn Korean language. It taught me Hangul, particles used, vocabularies and how sentences are made. Thank you to Professor Seung Hae Kang and Yonsei University.

This is a very useful course with a complete base for a very beginner like me. This course coveres all the basic topics that you need to start making a conversation with more than a simple guide, I mean, ir has it but it goes beyond expected and that's what it makes it very useful. I'm really thankful.

This course has a lot of great information for both language and cultural insight. This class has helped me to learn to introduce myself and my family; something I wasn't able to do from learning on my own. Definitely a great start for those you are trying to learn Korean and don't know where to start!

This course is easy to learn and understand. As I've already learned the Korean language, this course seems so easy. But I hope that there should be a practice session for vocabulary along with the quizzes on grammar. I think that there should be more questions in the quizzes. Thank you for the course.

Otim贸 curso, com um design simples de entender, as atividades ap贸s cada aula ajudam a fixar a mat茅ria. Professora nativa que nos explica a maneira correta de pronunciar e como escutaremos um coreano nativo falar. Muito bom! Vi coisas nesses curso que nunca tinha ouvido falar em nenhum outro. Obrigada!

I was fascinated by the course, I learned a lot, my expectations of the course were beyond what I thought, Professor Seung Hae Kang, her methodology is incredible, very clear and understandable. I am more motivated to continue studying the Hangul language. I hope one day to study at Yonsei University.

Very helpful! However, may I give a suggestion regarding the vocabulary part? I personally think it would be better if there is one lecture note that contains only the vocabularies used (with illustrations for visual memory). I believe it would be helpful in memorization and familiarization. 鞝曤 臧愳偓頃╇媹雼!

This is a great course! Definitely pick this course if you want to learn Korean, but you are a total beginner and you don't know where to start. The teaching methods are really good, and I recommend this to everyone beginning to learn Korean. The teacher is so nice, and she makes you feel comfortable.

The instructor for the course made the new language so easy and interesting to learn. I attribute my success in finishing this course to my passion for hangul and the teacher. She made the lessons fun and highly effective while being precise and comprehensive. I would take another course with her.馃憤馃徎

For Spanish speaking person, and first time seen Korean, it is difficult to understand.
nevertheless i am committed to keep learning, in order to be fluent Korean speaking.
the Course is very well organize and the teacher speak very well English, so at the end you can catch the main idea of the lesson.

Me gusto mucho el curso e aprendido mejor el idioma Coreano y me a ayudado bastante.. solo me gustar铆a que mejoren los subt铆tulos en Spanish ya que hay algunos Cap铆tulos que no los tienen o est谩n mal traducidos.. es mi sincera opini贸n, pero todo lo dem谩s esta incre铆ble... Muchas gracias por el curso

The course was extremely helpful in learning the Korean language. The discussions and lessons were brief, concise, and complete which made it easier for learners to understand. What I liked the most was the vocabulary because most of them were unfamiliar to me and it was exciting to learn new words.

Muy bueno, la profesora explica muy bien. Realmente es un gran curso para las personas que reci茅n empiezan con el coreano. Y para las personas que ya tienen conocimiento b谩sico, tambi茅n los refuerza y hace que practiquemos con situaciones del d铆a a d铆a, lo cual hace que el aprendizaje sea m谩s ameno.

The course was easy to follow and the professor gives a lot of good vocabulary to know as well as offering simple and easy to understand breakdowns of how certain sentences are structured. I also liked how she provided help with pronunciation! Really good beginner class to take to know the basics :)

Que incr铆vel! Nunca imaginei que tivesse tanto conte煤do num curso inicial. 脡 de facto muito interessante e riqu铆ssimo a nivel de gram谩tica, vocabul谩rio, exemplos. Fiquei fascinada e assoberbada com ele. Para quem quer come莽ar aprender coreano pelas suas bases 茅 muito bom. Gostei imenso :) Obrigada!

Muy bien explicado y f谩cil de entender.
La semana 5 ha sido la m谩s dif铆cil porque no ten铆a la traducci贸n en espa帽ol y algunas cosas no las entendia, pero eso no es por el curso sino por no entenderlo yo bien en ingl茅s.
Muchas gracias por ense帽arnos. Pronto seguire con otro curso.
Saludos desde Espa帽a.

A nice introduction to Korean sounds and basics, thank you! I am a beginner and appreciate how each sound is made comprehensible and is repeated on multiple occasions. The method of review and quizzes is useful because it makes the student practice reading Hangul letters and syllables many times.

This course takes you through the most important basics and gives you the necessary basic vocabulary needed for learning how to introduce yourself, tell time, and how to count in the two number systems. Easy to follow and low-effort course for the ones that do not have much time to spare in a day.

Simply presented, love it! I can't believe I finished a course, which was so unlike me...it was very motivating to test myself through quizes, and see the 'completed' sign for every week. I'm so happy to have done something fruitful, and I highly recommend it to others as well. Thank you so much.

As a Korean who moved to the US when I was very little, I had no chance to learn Korean. Although my parents spoke it all the time, I was more comfortable with English. This course helped me understand the basics and allowed me to communicate more freely with my parents. thank You so much!!!!! :D

Prof. Seung Hae Kang really explained every meaning and use of each word. Before, I only use applications in my phone to learn Korean. Thankfully I learned about this course. I am now more eager to learn more about the Korean language. Thank you so much and may you help more people in the future!
