Very helpful course for beginners. Acquiring pronunciation skills may take time, but I can definitely say that I can identify Hangul characters and can read the words formed. Thank you Professor Kang and Coursera!

This class is definitely more than I expected. Especially the first a few weeks when explaining the origin of Korean language, it really helps me to better understand the meaning and the construction of the words.

I actually enjoyed this class very much. The only drawback for me was that it was a little too quick for someone who is trying to learn another language for the first time, so I had to keep pausing and rewinding.

A curiously addictive set of lessons. They do require stopping the video once every 5 seconds to take notes, and I found myself needing to rewind frequently too. But I learned an enormous amount in the process.

I'm at the middle of the course, and I went from knowing absolutely nothing, to differentiating vowels, consonants, greeting and introducing myself, I can't wait to finish the course and continue learning Hangul
