Increíble las oportunidades que se dan en esta plataforma, muy didáctico y traducido para en este caso mi lengua materna.

Me pareció un curso muy bien estructurado, con los elementos necesarios para un primer acercamiento a la lengua Coreana.

I ENJOYED MY LESSON. AND I KNOW THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TO REACH MY GOAL. I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE AID AND CLASSES.

Es mi primer curso online y me ha gustado mucho. No se ha hecho pesado y los contenidos están muy bien presentados

That's awesome, I realy learn and understand so much, I hope more lessons or another course like this

Excellent for first step Korean language. Hoping and looking forward for a next level course offer.

Great teaching! It is a good place to start for a beginner. I think I have learnt a lot. 감사합니다!

Un curso muy completo y que recomiendo

Great for learning basic Korean!

easy to understand

Excelente!!

I really enjoyed this course! It's truly a great first step toward learning Korean! :-) Overall, the course has a very good structure, and the instructor in the videos is pleasant. Well done to the instructor and staff who put this class together! ^^

However, there are just a few minor details I would adjust regarding the order of content presentation to make the learning experience better. For example: In 1.2, the test which was about the different sounds was extremely difficult, and it would have been better if the Extended Exercise: Korean Basic Characters Practice with the interactive chart of Korean sounds had been presented before the test, not after it. If it's presented before the test, it will help students to learn and master the sounds before taking the test, so that many more will be able to pass the test on the first try and not feel discouraged and feel as if Korean is too hard to learn.

Also, one or two test questions had errors; I submitted some feedback about them when I took the tests.

I don't agree with what Professor Kang said at 5:03 in the Lecture 1.3 video, that ㅐ sounds like the short "a" in cat. (I think that ㅐ rather sounds more like the short "e" in "get," but not like the "a" in cat.) However, what she said about ㅐ did help me very much to understand and distinguish the slight difference between the sound of ㅐand ㅔ.

Moreover, I think it would be really great if we could have a complete "Korean vowels and consonants" interactive sound chart which includesㅐ and ㅔ and combinations of all the rest of the other vowels and consonants (including the final consonants that change sounds, from lesson 1.4), similar to the Korean Character Practice Program page.

I hope this feedback is helpful. Thank you very much for this course! :) It was excellent and helped me to learn Korean a little bit more. And I really appreciate that it was offered for free! 고맙습니다! ^_^

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.

I have learned to read and write basic korean and i am very happy with this progress. The course is easy to follow and gave a lot of information. I would love more conversations to be included in the course. I believe it will benefit a lot

I learned a lot but I started knowing absolutely nothing. By the end I had picked up most of the sounds that the letters make but I certainly wasn't saying the sentences fluently or really understanding what I was saying. There needed to be more phonetic translation written on the screen to help but there was none, which isn't good if you find it hard to learn by just hearing the instructor speak. I liked how the course was laid out with a video, worksheet and then an assignment but wow it was far too fast! I had no time to review the video a 2nd or 3rd time before doing the worksheet and before doing the quiz, people have jobs and kids and this course just expects you to finish a unit per week no excuses. I'd say it was intermediate level and not beginner, especially with all the grammar concepts and such. I was expecting to just learn how to say hello, thankyou, colours, numbers and some nouns at beginner level but it throws you in to describing time-frames and how your conference will run from this time in the a.m. to that time in the p.m.! Definately worth doing this course but learn some basic hangul and basic phrases/nouns first. Kyumhapsamnida Yonsei University and Seung Hae Kang!

The course was extremely intensive, which is a plus, however I had to replay some parts because the audio wasn't clear between some pronunciations. I wish when the professor taught, that they wrote out the romantization of words. I know it can be seen as a crutch, however in the beginning iit would have been great to know if she was saying a hard K or a soft K, a double s, or one s. I had to review a lot of the lessons to listen again. Also, the section about time was confusing, especially the explanation of Arabic counting (I'm not 100% sure if I even heard that correctly) versus Chinese counting. She did a great job in the beginning of explaining King Sejong and the alphabet's history, but in the later weeks that history was not convered. Finally, when I completed the course it was pretty abrupt, no message from the professor congratulating us or anything? I found mysef looking for the Next button for the following lesson, only to realize it was all over!

I don't know if I think this course is good or bad, but it will definitely require a lot of commitment and effort on the student's part because it has a huge ammount of information. A lot of the times I felt It was too much to process in each video, and the suggested pace at which we are supposed to complete the lessons was way to fast. Some lessons include several topics in one video, so it's kind of hard to follow, but I guess the fact that something is hard, doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I sudied with this course almost everyday for over a month in order to finish it, and I don't feel like I master its contents, because, again, it's a lot of content. However I'm definitely in a better place than before I started so I would recomend taking it.

I have two concerns with the organization of the course. My first concern is that the "review" lessons at the end of each unit were not actually review; most of the time, they were simply additional new content that was added. While this was not a major detriment, it did mean there is functionally no review at the end of each unit. My second issue is with the quizzes. Even the final quiz (lesson 4 of unit 5) still had questions where we were essentially being asked if we understood "yes/네" and "no/아니요". The questions on the quizzes usually required very little testing of the concepts we had just learned, and almost every single quiz had a question where the only difference between the two answers was "yes" or "no" being at the beginning.
