Hi. thank you for your lessons. really appreciate what u’re doing. think people like u make our planet spin. but can I give some feedback? when i’m doing this basic lessons what I want is just to see how the word is written and hear whether I’m pronouncing it correctly. i think there should be a separate audio (besides the main with interesting facts etc), with only pronunciation of the word broke in syllables and as a whole like in koreanwikiproject.com. it will speed up my learning. i know that i can have it on many other sites, but i really like yours, because of all your hard work, dedication n attitude =)
love u guys, by the way your video lessons are awesome
Thank you :D
Anyeong haseya, it took me a while to find a really good website that teaches Korean. I like it because it has audio lesson, which has been very helpful. So thank You very much.
Hi! I find your lessons really useful for me! I will be going to korea for holiday therefore these lesson are really useful!
I am really loving these lessons ^.^ thanks so much!!
thank you guys so much for these lessons . I am really learning alot !!
Kamsahamida~ ^^ Another awesome lesson
hello
ihave question :
how can i make a formal word into unformal like (kamsahaminida) in the first lesson you just sayed meda or neda how its work?
and how can i understand the word like (anyounghasayou) how to make it unformal ?
Hi~
You can just say the ‘annyeong’(안녕) without the ‘haseyo’ part, that makes the ‘annyeonghaseyo’ informal.
For ‘kamsahamnida’ you can say ‘gomawoo’ (고마워), that’s the informal way to say thanks. Hope it helps.

Soooo… let me get this straight.. Let’s say you and.. I don’t know, your boss are at a restaurant and your boss leaves. They say 안녕히가세요 and you say 안녕히계세요?
My friends have been trying to teach me Korean, so we can chat using Korean and no one elce will know what we are saying. But since they already know how to speak Korean, they don`t really know any good recomendations of websites where I could learn the language. So I tipped on yahoo answers ‘Good websites to learn Korean’ and this guy said your website. I thought i would give it a try, but I think it would be really hard to learn the language and I might never learn…but it works really well for me!!!! It is fun, and REALLY makes me want to learn. I think it is the best way for me to learn. Its fun and easy! And right now I am on spring break, so when I go back to school I am going to suprise my friends!!!!!!! Thank you so much!! Or… ‘gam-sa-hap-ni-da’! :D
Annyeong haseyo !! How areee??
Well.. this is my first comment about these amazing lessons …
I really wanna say that i’ve learned so much with you guys…
This is my first time taking online korean lessons and it has been wonderful. I love the way you teach us… You’re so nice …. Thank you so much for eveything…
I’ve practiced a lot … i repeat all day the phrases that i learn from here… xD
My family is like… Whatt..??? jajajjajajaj ..
Thanks for everything.. bye
waaaah ~~~!!
I’m so happy about my discovery of this site!!! It’s just lovely ,especially the audio files, which do also provide you with the actual pronounciation;)that’s great ! Even if I do watch quite some korean variety or dramas and listen to k pop pretty much…I do not always remember the pronounciation..and that’s kinda a pity…reagarding that I do know the words and their meanings but can’t actually say them aloud without stuttering…Sooo,I really luv it.
고맙습니다
안녕히 가세요!
i just want to let you know that i’ve been watching ‘fullhouse’ with rain bi ‘a love to kill’ ‘im a cyborg, but thats okay’ and ‘the fugitive, plan b’ and i was wondering the korean or hangul your teaching here, will that be the same as they speak in those shows ive watched, ive always wanted to know, ive learned a little by watching those shows with sub titles on a website called http://www.mysoju.com. if youve heard of it and found the language very wonderful! i even loved the secenery from the episodes of full house korea is really a beautiful country! can wait to learn so much from you its really lovely, i can speak a little due to these shows, but have trouble spelling it, i can spell one word that was made famous from full house ‘AJA AJA FIGHTING’ i say that to my husband a lot to keep him from getting discouraged from everyday life, learned so much by watching ‘fullhouse’ and love to kill’ eating habits what food they did eat, and how they relate to one another, really love it hope to visit korea someday, the country and its people are really facinating! = )
oh and i forgot to add: i love playing go stop now! and im studying to sing and learn ‘Three Bears Song’ what a lovely song! maybe you can add it to your lessons here, oh an btw, it may help as your teaching the lessons, that you put the word out there as you speak it so when you’re breaking it down, the learner can learn to pronounce and read the words correctly with the sounds made along with it. just a thought! AJA AJA FIGHTING!
Hey! Thank you for the lessons, I have just one question: We can say 세요 [se-yo] everytime? When we’re leaving and when we’re staying too? Because it’s easier for me and I do want to sound more fluent. And it’s good to say se-yo in 존댓말 [ jondaetmal], right? And in casual speak too, right?
guys this lesson is awesome, too… thank u
hello guys!! im sammy and im chinese, i absolutely love korean dramas and kpop and im a fan of lee min ho, Suzy, etc… :)) The list could go on forever. i’m also very interested in learning new langauges, most especially japanese and korean. I have learned japanese already and now im venturing into korean and i am worried at first because the pronunciation is hard and the writing, too…but now after discovering your site through a recommendation of a friend, I am learning a lot and i know that i will be good in korean in no time! I am so happy i discovered this site. You guys are so dedicated, you want people all over the world to learn korean and you do this all for free too! You guys just rock! I was so excited when I saw a downloadable pdf and mp3!!! cuz some tutorials online dont have audio so it isnt as fun and you wont know if you’re pronouncing it properly. other sites have audio but no visual aid…and i wanna learn writing!! so this site is just the best thing! im still going on level 1 lesson 4 and im loving it! thank you guys sooo much even my parents are learning from it :)) *hugs* i like the interactive feel, as if you two are just talking to me in person, i wish i could meet you guys for real! im so happy!!! mail me if you like :D gamsahapnida!!! <3 sarangheyo :))
oh and by the way, the 'annyeong' which means peace, in chinese, peace is 'anchuan' and it is similar! and 'gamsa' meaning thankfulness is actually 'gansie' in chinese! that is why i find japanese and korean easy to learn because they are similar to chinese!! and also, the writing is easy now that i practice, too!! this is hangul, and the borrowed chinese characters are hanja, right? :)) in japanese, their original characters are katakana and hiragana, then the borrowed chinese characters are called 'kanji'. kanji=hanja. so similar!! and that is "hanji" actually in chinese cuz that means "han words" and han is chinese :)
Thanks so much for your comment. Wow you wrote a long comment! Haha Regarding the hanja, you are rignt.
We are using many words borrowed from China. :)
tnx..for teaching me ..
