•It is a very good course for everyone to learn basic of Korean. For me who have learned Korean by read Korean lesson book somehow this course not give much thing to learn.
GRAMMAR (5/5)
This course is good because it give me more insight about Korean grammar (difference between normal. formal, and informal speech; the using of 예요/ 이에요, 이/가, etc).
THE TEACHER (5/5)
She explain clearly and give some exercise in the video to make us practice. I like the method.
VOCABULARY (3/5)
There were not much vocabulary in the course. I hope Yonsei University would add more new vocabulary in the course.
TEST/ ASSIGNMENT (3/5)
I've taken another language online course at another site that similar to Coursera. That site's assignments more complex than this course's given. This site only test our reading and listening but there were not speaking aspect that scored here. And I wish you will add writing aspect to the course.
LESSON (3/5)
The lessons those given here really simple. They were easy to understand, but I hope there will be a sequel of this course that will give us more advance lessons.
Recommendation:
- add more vocabulary,
- add speaking and writing assignment,
- a sequel of this course.
Thank you for coursera and Yonsei University for giving me an opportunity to learn Korean Language for free.

•It's a really good course to go from cero knowledge to very basic knowledge. In particular, the lessons in weeks one and two are very well-paced and the explanations given in the videos are clear and concise. The teacher takes time to enunciate and to explain the pronunciations of the vocabulary used in every lesson, which is of great help since Korean pronunciation is very nuanced and hard to understand the difference between the similar-sounding sounds.
As an area of improvement, I would consider reviewing the reading material since it's very scarce. It holds all the vocabulary as well as additional exercises that the student can attempt on their own before watching the videos to do corrections, however, there are no actual explanations of the grammar learned in each lesson. Particularly in weeks 3 and 4 where grammar gets a bit more complicated, the explanation in the video is not enough to truly understand what the rules are and students who learn more by understanding grammar could use a more fleshed out explanation in the reading material.
Overall I do recommend it, it's a great introduction and it's not too heavy, so someone who is a full-time employee or student can still pass this course easily.
