I really like the reading section after each class! Sometimes, I will download the notes & worksheet before I start watching the videos. Then I can take notes simultaneously. It really helps to learn. Hope I can improve my Korean continuously. Congrats to all the students registered in First Step Korean. Wish we can persist in learning this interesting language.

This course was very helpful. The material was laid out nicely and was easy to follow. Make sure you give plenty of time to watch the lecture, although it says it's only 10 minutes you need to constantly pause the lecture to take notes and write down how to pronounce every new word and phrase. Would recommend this to anyone who was interested in learning Korean.

An amazing course for people who are interested in learning Korean. This course covers topics from basics ie Hanguel to topics required in daily life. I really enjoyed taking this course. The instructor explains each and everything in a lucid manner. The important factor in any language learning is practice, with practice, one can surely ace the Korean language.

Prof. Kang is has nicely delivered all lectures and explained very well. For me, this course was life saver. Due to this pandemic, I was unable to take admission in Korean language course in my country as all institution were closed but through this platform I learned Korean at home without any difficulty with top Korean language professors. Thank You Coursera.

It needs a lot of hard work by yourself to remember the vocabulary but totally worth it! There are many things I don't understand studying Korean by myself but with the help of the instructor, Ms. Kang, and all the mentors, I get better every week. This is really fun! Thank you for such a good course and all the people involved who made this course possible! :D

This course provides the fundamental knowledge about Korean with easy- learning method. Each video has short period of time therefore I often learn 3 to 4 videos at once. 5 years ago, I learnt Korean but I dropped out; however, my passion has come back after I found out this online course. Thank teacher and Coursera <3 who make knowledge has no boundary limits

The course is a very good intro to the Korean language. It is packed with information and I often needed to spend extra time to master the lessons especially when it came to the native and sino number systems. The course materials were very helpful and I enjoyed Professor Kang's presentation of the materials. Thank you to Seung Hae Kang and Yonsei University.

This course is amazingly useful for me as a beginner in learning Korean. The professor teaches the material thoroughly and clearly so that I can understand really well. It is really easy to follow too. It is amazing and it gives much more knowledge to me. Thanks Yonsei University and Coursera for giving me such a great opportunity to learn something new. :)

I'm applying for Yonsei University next GKS, waiting for the guideline to be released in the middle of Feb. Built an intense passion for Yonsei, really grateful for being able to do a free course with them, can't wait to graduating with Yonsei.
Great content, great explanation, graphics and figures. Amazing teacher, she's a person of good will.
감사합니다, 연세대 학교.

Perfect course for beginner learners, while still providing a lot of interesting information not touched on by other apps or courses, such as differences in pronunciation in certain situations/how syllables change the sound of those around them, and some of the origins of the writing system etc.
Ms Kang is a great teacher and makes the course very enjoyable.

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.
It would also be perfect, if we are able to record our own sentences or write it and get feedback.

Me gustó mucho este curso, aprendí mucho más de lo que tenía pensado, todo gracias a la profesora y los recursos didácticos que en lo personal, explicaban muy bien la clase. Realmente estoy feliz y satisfecha de haber ingresado al curso, por lo que si hubiese la oportunidad de seguir aprendiendo en este curso, sin duda seguiría aprendiendo. Muchas gracias!

I like how the teacher explaining every topic in a simple way, well- although it's the basic. But it makes easier to understand even for a beginner who just start to learn. Because language can be hard if the person who explains it is using high word, and without notice create an invisible barrier. I learned so much from this course, thank you very much :D

Las clases fueron realmente maravillosas. En sólo 5 semanas pude avanzar en el idioma. Es cierto que debes estudiarlo todos los días, aunque sea antes de dormir. Realmente me encantó el curso y siento que el hecho de que dieran vocabulario en las lectures hizo que aprendiera rápido el alfabeto y la pronunciación. Muchas, muchas gracias. Estoy muy feliz!!!

I loved this course so much I'm so glad I took it. The videos and practice sections within them are perfect for learning. The quizzes are also very helpful to determine how much one has retained and the lecturer made this course very interesting. I did not feel like this was an online course at all, it felt like a proper lecture in university. Thank you.
