This is a very good course, many thanks to Yonsei University for kindly granting the opportunity to attend this course,

One difficulty I experienced is regarding pronunciation of some letters which appear to vary in different contexts. Also, clear instruction may be given where we have to use Korean and Chinese numerals.

I learned many verbs and how to conjugate the present tense, a lot of vocabulary and sentence structure. My favorite aspect of this course was that I got to practice my listening and reading skills with the quizzes. I also practiced writing, by copying out the vocabulary rather than printing the PDF files. 고맙습니다, 선생님.

I really enjoy this course. The professor makes the grammar easily to understand. There are very clear can-do statements for each lesson with good amount of practice. The topics introduced in this course are also very practical. I would recommend this course for whoever wants to learn Korean from the very beginning. ㅋ

I enjoyed this lesson. But I'd need to practice on my own more. I think that the handout should include wording in English so that it is more understandable. I find myself using Google translate a lot, just to listen to the pronunciation. Then again, I need to practice more. Thank you so much for this wonderful course.

Very clear explaining and teaching method. The flow of the topics is indeed nicely laid. I suggest making the quizzes a bit more harder and more complex to fully enhance the learning experience. I will definitely introduce this course to my friends as this is a really informative starter pack for basic Korean language.

I am really satisfied with your service. I have really enjoyed my time with this course. Teachers are so professional and I thank Professor Suzi Kim & all of Yonsei University members for this programme. I hope to travel Korea in next year so I will definitely come to see my University. Thank you so much everyone.

If you teach the sentence structure first ,I think I can understand the conversation better. And at first ,It's a little bit hard to listen to natives in conversation because they talk very fast but you'll get used to it through the lessons . Overall I enjoyed the classes. It's a great course to start studying korean.

I recommend this course not only people who want to learn Korean for the first but also people who have learnt Korean before. I learnt Korean again through this course and make me realise the difference of pronunciation.I also learnt things I didn't know before. Thank you for let me learn this amazing language course.

Thank you very much for guidance in this study. I am very happy to be able to learn a foreign language. While studying, I realized that it was very difficult to learn Korean. But I am happy because I was given the opportunity to learn from the basics. Now I started practicing it with my friends. Once again, thank you.

I loved the way couse is designed. Though I already knew some basics I think those who have 0 knowledge can learn every little detail from this course. The course clearly helps have the all the basic knowledge of Korean whether speaking or writing, which only then needed to be improved with continuous practice of it.

Very well structured, easy to follow and easy to learn stuff.I want to study in Korea, so this was a good start for me to learn some basics. Korean is my 5th language, but the first one with a different alfabet and sentences structures so it was a bit challenging, but overall exciting and fun. I totally recomend it!

I was able to really learn the basics of the Korean language. I like how each lesson was created in such a way that it's easier for the learner to learn the language from the vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar. It's a really good First Step for anyone who's really new to the language and has no background with it.

This course was so helpful to start studying korean and be able to start learning some basic vocabulary. I like that it gives you the chance to listen to a conversation and then analize it. I really enjoyed learning korean through this course and would recommend it for people who want to start studying this language.

This is a very good and straight forward starting point for Korean Language learning. It was easy for me to understand and grasp right from the start, and I'm glad I started learning this course. A huge thank you to Professor Seung Hae Kang and the course team. Looking forward to more courses in the future. 감사합니다

Понравился данный вводный курс в корейский язык, который новичкам дает понять основы, особенности корейского языка (свой неповторимый алфавит (я сначала думал, что это иероглифы), два вида числительных (корейский и китайский), которые используются в разных случаях, и д.р.). Большое спасибо организаторам этого курса!

It is an amazing course for beginners. The lessons are really organized and easy to understand, they give you a step by step course in which the only thing you need to offer is willingness to learn. I learned a lot and now I am even more interested in learning more about their history and culture. Thank you so much.

Thanks to this course I was able to get a structure to my messy Korean learning. I've been picking up information for a few years but I've never been able to properly learn it with an order. I already knew some things which is why it was easier to get through the course but I'd say this was worth spending time on :)

I really enjoyed this Introduction to the Korean Language, I tried taking Korean at school but somehow I didn't learn much at all, but Professor Kang does an amazing job explaining the methods in away that doesn't lose you as a beginner! I really would recommend anyone who's interested in Korean to take this course!
