Me encanto este curso ya que me ayudo bastante a aprender un idioma totalmente diferente a mi nativo que es el español. Gracias por agregar subtítulos para que las personas que hablan español puedan conocer este maravilloso curso.

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.

It is fun! Able to speak and read Korean after taking up this course. The sequence of syllabus is good from basic to daily essential. I hope they make more Korean Courses so we can continue to learn Korean after First Step Korean.

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!
