This beginner course is a great way to get the basics of the Korean Language. It may seem overwhelming & difficult at times, but keep going! The Go!Go! Hanguk team is there for support. Give yourself some grace too. You are learning a whole new language! Everyone learns in different ways, so find a way that helps you. For example, use Korean labels for items around your room, home, etc. from the vocabulary lists. That's the beautiful thing about learning online from home. You can go at your own pace & do extra things to help you remember the lessons. I'm glad I chose to take the challenge to learn Korean through this online course!
