This is the best course for beginners to learn Korean from the alphabet to the daily life conversations! It teaches basic rules in making sentences and a lot of useful vocabulary. Thanks to Dr.Seung Hae Kang and Yonsei University for this course!

It's a little bit hard because I studied Chinese before. But I understand when you teach me about Korean grammar. Thank you for this class and I'll keep going to practice more and more when I have free-time. Komapseumnida, Kang-seonsaengnim =^w^=

Well organized introduction to Korean, providing necessary vocabulary and grammar. What I liked the most about this course were the information about Korean culture and how the pronunciation of words change, when they're combined with each other.

El curso da la oportunidad de tener un horario flexible, y las clases están bien resumidas, de tal manera que uno aprende lo suficiente en clase y lo puede practicar por si mismo en otro momento, esto es muy útil para cuando uno está muy ocupado.

I loved that I could do this course in my own time without any time preassure. Each video is only ten minutes long followed by notes and a quiz, which made the learning very clear and easy. I am sad it is over as I learnt so much! 고맙습니다💕💕🇰🇷

It's great course. Even someone like me with a phonetic related learning disability found it largely beneficial. There was definitely frustration on my part but that was due to my own limitations and not the structure or content of the course.

First Step Korean is a great choice for people trying to learn Hangul and basic Korean. The lessons are straightforward and simple; I learned so much from this 5 week course. I definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to learn beginner Korean.

Realmente me gusto mucho el curso ya que aprendí mucho a cerca del idioma coreano, empecé desde cero creí que no lo iba a lograr y en el transcurso de mi aprendizaje me pude dar cuenta que con esmero y dedicación se logran, estoy muy agradecida.

This course was awesome as an introduccion to Corean language, the notes and videos were clear enough. The only element I had problems with was with the pronunciation explaination, but I think pronunciation is difficult in general. Great course!

I loved this course and the teacher; I would have loved if there were more English translations for the worksheets/practices given for review purposes. Once I go back, I tend to forget the English translations for the Korean phrase or sentence.

I've learned a variety of vocabulary with this course. I've taken other Korean courses in the past, but it was difficult to understand. But with this course, I finally understood all these verbs and particles! The best Korean course I've taken!

Thank you very much, for taking your time to explain everything in Korean and help us understand by linking it to our language. Teacher Kang Seung Hae went into great detail about everything, even explaining a little bit of history and culture.

Fue un buen curso, me gustó que se repiten las cosas, que te explican. Si tu nivel de Inglés es básico (como es mi caso), serás de comprenderlo, ya que en algunas lecciones los subtítulos dejan de aparecer en español, y solo aparecen en Inglés.

Excelente curso!. Me ayudó mucho a comprender palabras y frases cotidianas que no tenía muy claras. Los ejercicios y las explicaciones son muy apropiadas. Cuestión de practicar para aprender el vocabulario y las frases usuales. Muchas gracias.
