  24. My Kookie,

    I have only just read through the lesson names and it took me along time… Im totally buying the Membership though because just reading the lesson names has already helped me get a better memory of certain words.

    • Lara Pinho,

      i didn´t buy the membership and i can read the lessons, like you have a really helpful broadcast where you can hear and learn how to pronounce the words from the topic you are learning, and you can also, scroll down on the page, nad read the lesson, and of course take notes, sorry my english is bad ahah

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      We hope you continue to enjoy studying Korean with us:)
