Learn to Speak Korean 1

Welcome to Learn to Speak Korean 1! This course is for beginner students who are familiar with the Korean alphabet, Hangeul. Through this course students will learn the skills essential for daily interactions with Koreans while living in Korea. This course consists of six modules, and each module is composed of five units. Each unit has vocabulary, grammar and expressions, conversation practice, video clips, quizzes, a workbook, and vocabulary lists. In order to assist students with their independent studies, Korean learning materials such as lecture notes, workbooks, and vocabulary lists detailing each day’s lecture are also provided. The vocabulary lists are accompanied by English, Chinese, and Japanese translations. I hope that you enjoy all this program has to offer over the next six weeks. After studying in this program, you will be able to have a real Korean conversation with your newly acquired knowledge of the Korean language. Thank you!

this course is nice, the structure of the lessons is simple and easy to follow, the videos are short which reduce the chance for getting bored, i recommend this course for the beginners I've been learning Korean for a while before this, but it was a good return to basics and definitely a more organized way to study.

first step korean

I took "First Step Korean" in May 2016 that I found extremely interesting and well structured.

However, "Learn to Speak Korean 1" is not as substantial as "First Step Korean", the quizzes are too easy, the course is not thoughtful enough.

A good follow up to First Step Korean, this course does have some overlaps with the former but without the introduction to Hangul which is a prerequisite.

This course is highly recommended after taking First Step Korean course.

A great followup to First Step Korean.

Soy principiante en esto de aprender coreano (Aunque antes de este curso realicé otro llamado First step korean, en está misma pagina y dictado por la misma universidad.

sang mee han

I would also like to thank Professor Sang Mee Han and all the mentors for this course.감사합니다!

1) To choose foreign students as an assistants to wonderful Sang Mee Han sonsengnim - good idea for those who aren't comfortable to see first class Korean students with 100% fluent pronunciation - bad idea to those who want to hear fluency to learn how to pronounce words correctly, not... 2) The course is right for people who want to visit Korea in the next month, it's like the lessons were built upon the idea that the visitors have to go the store to buy something, and to go to the restaurants to eat and spend as much money as one person could possibly waste, because they had to use what they had learned.

Thank you, Professor Sang Mee Han!

Sang Mee Han.

daily life

this course will really help your daily life in Korea someday ^^ Muy Bueno.

:) I really liked the fact that the topics are focused on daily life situations.

mt boom If you really wat to learn about Korean, not only the language but also some of their food and daily life, it's a good course for you and highly recommend it Un curso muy bueno espero que saquen una segunda parte,pero muy buena la informacion.

It was practical and laid out in a manner which was very effective and has been immediately useful in my daily life here in South Korea.

Very useful dialogs for daily life!

Here I feel really I'm learning things that are important to develop my korean language skills and can be applied on daily life in Korea.

I have been studying Korean for 6 months now and though, obviously, knowing Hangeul has helped, I really lacked in simple sentences constructions, daily life conversations and speaking practice.

foreign students

Throughout the course, the professor asked foreign students to answer and pronounce the sentence, then ask learner to repeat after those students.

The course provides practice of pronunciation from both a native speaker (the teacher) and diverse foreign students.

The way to learn Korean from videos, conversation of real speakers, and interactive moments of foreign students is really creative!

3) Korea is a high-tech country, and to take the students outside - good idea to see the buildings, nature, and to get some fresh air - bad idea to see how foreign students still misspell very basic words and phrases, and the sound quality is just awful.

And it's like the foreign students have no idea about the tone of such a beautiful language, and it's like they are just saying what they had learned by heart before to record the video.
