Loved it! It was pretty helpful. I would be up to taking Korean to the next level. *side-note* I would love it if you included romanization translation to the words pronounced just so its easier to distinguish the words pronounced

Very well presented and easy to understand. I'm not a complete beginner but this was a very good course and filled in some areas I didn't fully understand. Nice to have the study notes and the graded quizzes were very useful too.

Me encantaron las clases, aunque me hubiera gustado que se explique la manera de conjugar los verbos en cada tiempo: presente, pasado y futuro.

Agradezco que este material sea gratuito para quienes queremos aprender coreano.

감사합니다 ♡

Would be great if there was more new practice instead of just lecture notes but this was great! I've learned the basics of Korean several times but this was very in-depth especially with the hangeul lessons and easy to understand.

This was a great course. It broke down simple phrases into easy to learn sections. I would like to take it over again, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. The instructor took her time, going over each section multiple times.

Absolutely perfect, clear and concise lessons with everything perfectly detailed and explained so I didn't get confused. I even found myself googling a question but deleting it because the lecture explained it almost immediately!
