It's a very good short course to review my foundation in Korean. Although I've been learning Korean for quite a while now, this course made me want to build my basics again especially the numbers and time. Thank you Professor~

Great course for beginners. Covers all the basics for everyday conversation. The course is structured well with comprehensive notes and practice questions, the tests help recall all that is learnt in the course of each lesson.

I would suggest adding some details and examples on how to use the different words for "morning" and "afternoon" since they can be used in different ways and have different meanings and is still confusing to see the difference

Extremely well organized and explained. Yonsei University has a well-deserved reputation. I am surprised that Sogang University doesn't provide anything like this online except through this link: http://korean.sogang.ac.kr/.

Muy buen curso, como introducción explica la forma básica de algunos verbos, algo de vocabulario, preguntas y respuestas, explica también la pronunciación y algunos verbos irregulares. Me gustaría que tuviera una segunda parte

This lesson is very helpful for those who want to start learning Hangeul, because there is easy-to-understand material and examples of questions added with a little visualization so that I don't get bored while working on it.

This class is a great first step for learners with no experience with Korean. If you have some experience with Korean and want to strengthen basic skills, this could also be for you. Thank you so much for sharing this course!

Me gusto mucho la manera en que la profesora explico la gramática del idioma y la pronunciación, en los ejericios de cada modulo el vocabulario estuvo variado y no fue demasiado extenso. Muchas gracias disfrute todo el cusro.

The teacher's teaching is very professional and it makes it easy to learn a totally different thing! I learned the whole alphabet in just one day. I could learn much more in weeks and gain knowledge about a different language

Очень хороший курс для начинающих! Доступно объяснены базовые вещи, много диалогов! Есть тест на проверку знаний и краткий конспект лекции. Курс был бы вообще идеальным, если бы еще были упражнения для самостоятельной работы.
