What people are saying

daily life

I learned more about the daily life terms and sentences.

The examples are so easy and very useful in daily life!

To speak fluently, well... Have to practice over and over again, especially if you are not using the language in daily life.

It has a 'situation approach' in which daily life experiences are used cleverly to teach vocabulary, pronunciation tips, particles and common expressions.

Although, it was only short program for the beginner like me who didn't have the fundamental of Korean language, I got a lot of the basic to the daily life vocabularies and conversations.

Thank you very much I love to learn this course it's useful and help me to communicate with Korean person in daily life Easy to understand and follow!

Daily life conversations sometimes matched with Korean dramas I watched.

^o^ i loved everything, the time you took to do this, the effort, and patience, i'd really want to lean more if i got the chance, go to korea sometime and see the daily life with my own eyes, i'm really thankfull for the opportunity to study with a great teacher like Seung Hae Kang, thanks again, Alejandro Es un curso de introducción muy bueno, te proporciona varios elementos para iniciar en este idioma, pero no hay que olvidar que se tiene que practicar mucho para no olvidar lo aprendido y trabajar en el vocabulario es algo fundamental.

It starts from Hangul Alphabet, to some daily life conversation.

good 课程设计由简入繁,前后连贯,一环扣一环,必须加强课下的训练;老师讲课速度适中,基本都可以听懂,作为一门入门课程,比较推荐该门课程 W I recommend this course for all who want to learn the language.It is well organized.Easy to follow.Contains important topics which u need for your daily life in Korea.You won't loose your time.On the other side, the quizzes, I think, are too short or too easy.

I'd definitely recommend it I learnt many useful sentence to use in daily life.

Throughout the course, I learnt to correctly pronounce each character and make simple conversation about daily life.

best course to learn korean language for basic daily life conversation Good for beginners.

Teaches a lot of vocabulary for daily life.

curso es muy bueno

El curso es muy bueno pero desde la semana 4 más o menos, los subtítulos ya no están en español... sino en Ingles, es un poco difícil para quienes solo hablamos español... ojala puedan corregir ese detalle.

Hola, recomiendo tomar este curso es muy bueno , y hace facil entender este idioma extrangero, los tutores son excelentes , aprendi mucho para ser principiante, gracias!

El curso es muy bueno y te lleva de la mano paso a paso para que aprendas de acuerdo a tus capacidades y tiempo The course content is what I expected and having an assessor whose native language is the one she's teaching is a plus.

El curso es muy bueno, las explicaciones son claras , pero lástima no tiene versión en español.

After starting this course, I didn't know anything about Korean, I literally started form 0, but now I think I'm able to start a conversation with a native Korean, all the videos were very good because they were easy to understand, and every lesson were clear, I'm very thankful Excellent course that is helping me a lot to learn korean on the correct way.I'm really happy to have a chance of making a course from Yonsei University.

Very helpful for those who don't know anything about Korean Language at the first time.

Great course, but I think it progresses a bit fast if you really don't know anything about the hangul writing system.

Very useful course for beginner, like me, who did not know anything about Korean language.

subtitulos en español

Es un buen curso para comenzar a aprender coreano, tiene subtitulos en muchos idiomas, incluyendo el español, al final los subtitulos en español fallan pero en cuanto a la enseñanza es muy básica y fácil de aprender; totalmente recomendado.

Muy bueno el curso lo unico es que al final en la semana 4 y 5 no hay subtitulos en español, lo cual hace que el curso se complique, ya que yo entiendo el ingles muy bien.

faltaron los subtitulos en español que estén mejor editados,pero estoy muy agradecida ya que tengo mucho por seguir practicando con el material proporcionado.

Nice course Los subtitulos en español en los ultimos modulos del curso no estaban funcionando.

Pero es muy practico y fácil de entender y aprender..Me alegro mucho de que tenga subtitulos en español.

sobre el idioma

I really enjoy the course, i see my self improving a lot with those classes, so Im very thankful and can´t wait to finish this one to start the next course level of Yonsei University *-* sabía mucho sobre el idioma coreano, por lo que este curso me pareció un buen primer acercamiento a la que yo considero una enigmática lengua.

Gracias a este curso pude aprender sobre el idioma Coreano, estoy muy satisfecha Very good for beginner I have learned the basics of what I don't really understand though I'm still struggling with the sounds of pieup, ssang sieot, ssang kieuk etc.

Muy buen curso me ayudó mucho a conocer más sobre el idioma coreano, su cultura y lo único que recomiendo es que mejoren las traducciones para quienes somos de habla hispana.

Para una persona que no cuenta con ningun conocimiento sobre el idioma coreano, resulta fácil de aprender y entender.

Took this course months before a trip to Korea. I'm not fluent, but it definitely helped me find my way around teaching me the alphabet and helping me learn conversation topics. The pacing's a bit fast sometimes, but that's what 0.75x speed is for.
