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.

Thank you professor Kang. Other courses offered did not have good English interpretation. Professor Kang not only speaks good English but also tries to explain the unusual or abnormally segments by comparing with Subject-Verb Order in English.

It is my first time with Coursera and this course is quite good. Thanks to the notes I learned the basics under the guidance and now I can read a little bit of Korean. Anyone who wants to learn the basics properly should definitely go for it.

I learned a lot through this course. It is very understandable and you can stop the video whenever you want if it goes too fast. Even though it is an online course, you still get the interaction that you wish from physical classes. Thank you!

It's very good for the beginner who doesn't even know a single Korean alphabet. This is very good start and easy to understand. The instructor is very nice! However, it's a bit fast on vocabulary. Need to spend more time to review the lesson.

Excellently structured course for learning and getting to grip with the basics. Designed for those who have no previous experience with the Korean language. First module concentrates solely on the Korean alphabet, reading and writing Hangeul.

I must say that this course is (if not the best, then) one of the best to start learning Korean language from Level 0. As from my own experience, I would highly recommend this course to everyone who is interested in learning Korean language.

Great materials provided. Although, it's a little hard to understand some part of the teaching but it's good that we could pause and practice on our own time. Highly recommended for students who need more time to student on their own accord.

This course is the best option for those who wish to get the basics of Hangul. The course uses a very systematic method to make the students understand Hangul. I enjoyed this course and I can now make a basic Korean conversation. Thank you!

My experience of this course was very good. It definitely met my expectations. Thank you to Professor Seung Hae Kang for making Hangul this easy to learn. I will surely recommend Coursera to others and learn more skills myself in the future.
