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.

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 recién empiezan con el coreano. Y para las personas que ya tienen conocimiento básico, también los refuerza y hace que practiquemos con situaciones del día a día, lo cual hace que el aprendizaje sea más 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 :)

Muy bien explicado y fácil de entender.

La semana 5 ha sido la más difícil porque no tenía la traducción en español y algunas cosas no las entendia, pero eso no es por el curso sino por no entenderlo yo bien en inglés.

Muchas gracias por enseñarnos. Pronto seguire con otro curso.

Saludos desde España.

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.

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!

This was a great course! sometimes it was a lot of information in a short span of time, and overwhelming when they would speak very fast. But with practice it gets easier! and still deserves 5 stars!!!!! i will most likely rewatch the videos again and again until its clockwork!! thank you much!

It's an amazing experience to learn at Coursera, the professor is calm and tries to explain every little point with a complete curiosity which keeps you engaged in learning. It was really helpful to me and I'm glad my university took this step to help us learn better. This platform is worth it.

Es un buen curso para aprender los conocimientos básicos del idioma coreano.

Tiene una metodología bien estructurada, lo que facilita la comprensión de los temás más sencillas. Creo que este tipo de cursos deberían seguir promoviendose a futuro para aquellos que les encanta la cultura coreana.

I learned a lot from this course especially about Korean grammar and basic sentence structure. I already know how to read and write Hangul yet this course deepened more the things that I have to learn, such as pronunciation and different vocabularies. Enrolling in this course is very worth it.
