Great entry level course to start learning korean at your own pace. Lecturer was clear and the videos were short, which allowed much time to digest and practice and watch again. Only down side is that you don't have classmates to practice with.

Para mí que no tenía la menor idea de nada, me ha servido muchísimo este curso. Ya me siento preparada para enfrentar otros niveles. Muy agradecida por la pedagogía empleada y los recursos empleados. Disfruté mucho el curso. Muchas gracias.

I LOVE IT. I understand so much in so little time. Now I just need to keep practicing more vocabulary and more grammar. I think I'll be able to travel freely in Korea very soon

This course is nice, because you can learn a lot. And it's really nice. If you finish this course, and you study it, i'm sure you will speak very well.

But i would like to say something. This course could be boring, and a little tired. I finished it, but i feel i didn't learn so i'm repeating it again, okay if i didn't learn it's my fault, but i don't feel motivated with this course. I think Suzi is a little boring. She's good. But you can feel tired. Depends the person. Regards! :D

A great teacher and a great design . but the curriculum is devoid of beginner's grammar and jumped suddenly to complex sentences and the course ended without me knowing what even the personal pronouns are, which is ridiculous . at least I got used to the reading and learnt some vocabulary so Thank you for that ^^

Teacher was a little boring at times, without any emotion in her voice or movement in her body. I felt she went quite fast, especially when asking to repeat things. For example, she would say an entire sentence and ask us to repeat instead of breaking the sentence apart for us. All in all, I felt I learned a little something but the course moved so quickly I felt myself getting frustrated at times, making it harder to focus and learn.

Course not very helpful, because it is assumed that students will grasp Hangeul at a glance. No English (latin script) pronunciations are provided. Discouraged me from learning Korean.

El curso es perfecto para aprender lo básico del coreano y mantener una conversación de presentación y algunas cosas sobre la vida diaria, en general el curso me pareció muy bien y lo recomendaría bastante si estás interesado en aprender el idioma ya que se explican bastante bien sobre la gramatica del idioma coreano, asi como aplia bastante tu vocabulario en el mismo, se explica de algunas palabras y su significado proveniente del chino, en pronunciación y se entiende y aprende bastante bien.

It was a really nice experience to learn Korean language. The course was very interesting with good demo video clips and convenient sentence and phrase examples. This course covers most of the basic things you need to speak and write in Korean when you have a normal conversation with Korean people. After successful completion of this course, you can easily write or speak in Korean about yourself and describe most of the things about you.

It was awesome! I learned the perfect basics of Korean, and will be able to have a basic conversation. Thank you so much!! I would only request to have more Korean culture videos so I can know more things about the culture and also learn some formal endings of the verbs since we usually would talk to strangers formallly.

강승혜 is a wonderful teacher! She made the class very enjoyable and easy to understand. I loved taking this course along with practicing on duolingo and with Talk To Me In Korean. This was a great introduction to the language and I hope to continue studying korean.

모든 강의 재미있었어요! 많이 배웠어요. 정말 고맙습니다!

Es un buen curso, puedes aprender lo básico y lo mejor es que siempre hay ejercicios y conoces nuevo vocabulario. Debes ser constante para aprender el idioma.
