Nádia Diniz, March 31, 2020

I have studied this a long time ago (until level 2) and before I started studying level 1 again I did the “test my korean” thing and it actually turned out that I had enough knowledge to study level 3. It’s awesome how after 2 years you don’t lose the ability to remember a language 🙂

  That’s great! Keep up with your Korean study!

  Hey! I recently joined too… I started from Level 1 Lesson 1 in “My Learning Center”… awesome!
- Albi Dvorani, April 1, 2020
  
  But is not better start with gramatic a dictionari or dnt now bc i dnt now any words.
- My Kookie, April 2, 2020
  
  To start off, I recommend learning Hangul (The Korean Alphabet) first. Once you get a good idea of that, then you can move onto the simple words like Hello (안녕하세요) , and Thank You (감사합니다), Which they teach in Lesson 1 of Level 1. When you go into a lesson it will also have a “sheet” that shows you on paper what the word you are learning is, along with audio of them discussing what the words mean, in a fun and interactive way.
Priscilla, March 30, 2020

So I was trying to practice some other sentences after lesson 7 but I don’t know if those are correct like can you really say ”그거 물.” or ”이거 볼펜.(This ballpoint pen)” because to me it sounds weird to say.. can someone tell me please
- Joyce Sundo, March 31, 2020
  
  i think you only say ”이 볼펜” instead of ”이거 볼펜” to say this ballpoint pen. “”이거” is more of used like a pronoun to say this thing (ballpoint pen)

Meera Visakan, March 29, 2020

Hi Guys,

Hope you are safe and well.

I am from London, UK and have recently started to learn Korean.

I wanted to know what the best way is to learn with someone else at my level or learning Korean too?

The only app I have researched about is HelloTalk? Is this any good?

Any helpful suggestions will be welcomed.

Thanks!
- Abigail Alvarez, March 30, 2020
  
  hi if you go on cousera they have a bunch of free and very good online courses for learning Korean. I am currently doing the beginner one and i love it. The course includes 10-15 minute lectures, worksheets, and a quiz at the end to test your knowledge. I def recommend those courses for anyone who wants extra learning.
