Muchas gracias por este curso, esta muy bueno, me gusto porque aprendí algo de coreano, las vocales, consonantes, etc. Es bastante completo, lo que me costo entender al principio fue las consonantes, pero se pudo avanzar en eso bastante al pasar las semanas

Ms. Kang explains the course really well! She's like a mom or aunt patiently helping me to learn a new lesson or story. Thank you so much! I still have to review more to be fluent but this course is a stepping stone to a subtitle-free korean drama fan life.

I loved taking this class. I was dying to get back home from work everyday to learn something new. The exercises were fun to do and the teacher explained really good so I didn't have any questions after watching the videos. I would love to take a 2nd class.

The course content is what I expected and having an assessor whose native language is the one she's teaching is a plus. The platform is easy to use and the tests and learning material are very helpful. One thing that I would like to add are grammar lessons.

les questions de multiple choix sont peut-etrês un peu facile. Je pense que, avec les nouvelles informations de dire l'heure et les membres de famille plus de questions et seront mieux pour penser sur les nouvelles informations et le proches de apprendre.

Love this self-paced course. The professor is very concise and offers plenty of examples and different styles of teaching (i.e. listening to a conversation, repeating sentences/words, fill-in-the-blank). I look forward to taking more classes in the future!

Me gusto mucho el curso,la explicacion,los ejemplos y las evaluaciones aunque fue un poco corto y en algunos casos como las ultimas clases, los suptitulos no aparecian en español asi que fue un poco complejo para mi poca experiencia con el ingles. Gracias

This course has been an excellent for starting from ground zero. Teaching the alphabet and gradually increasing the difficulty level throughout the course was very effective. I hope to see more content and advanced levels from Yonsei University. Thank you!

Me gustó mucho este curso, sin duda el idioma coreano es bastante complejo, pero interesante al ver como lo crean, como crean las palabras y las conversaciones, son patrones y sonidos que poco a poco se me hacían familiares. Muchas gracias por compartirlo.

The course was suitable for beginner to follow through and the explanations and histories behind some logic of the languages helped along the way. Grammar was a tough subject in Korean language learning but Professor Kang explained each situation clearly.

Course is great. It is easy to understand and follow up. I think it is very good for first step of beginner. Course does not focus on grammar as main objective but I like that grammar is hidden in the proper place and certainly I can use it in the future.

This is the perfect course for a beginner. It equips you with the tools to be able to identify the Hangul alphabet which is the first step to understanding the language. I have and will continue recommending this course to anyone wanting to learn Korean.
