    Hey guys!!! i found the podcast on spotify. i had always wanted to learn Korean after my interest grew towards it and started it about a year ago. i know all letters and all but I am still a beginner since i didn’t get much time to practice Korean because of school.

    I love this website! It is really relaxing to listen to the lessons, and it makes Korean fun to learn. I am learning French at school, and it get’s veryyyyyy boring, but this website and the teachers make it interesting to learn a language. Keep up the good work!

  12. Coni Baconi,

    please stop commenting about kpop… guys
    you came here to study Korean not to embarrass yourself

    • Tessa Kadens,

      What does it matter if they comment about K-pop??? They are NOT embarrassing themselves, so what if they came here to learn Korean because they like K-pop??? It’s as good a reason as any and only shows their enthusiasm and love towards K-pop, and it also shows their sincerity. You stop commenting about them, you came here to study Korean not to waste your time writing hate comments.

  13. Ane Luíse Dias,

      We are setting up a GC for Korean Learners but you have to be at least at Level 2 to be added, what level are you?

  14. Kendall McDonald,

    I love BTS

  15. Margareth Atienza,

    Sometimes you need to let your self learn new things for you to grow and have a sense of accomplishment. And for me that is the reason. It is just my opinion and it may differ to other learners

  16. Queen Lisa,

    why you guys studying korea

  17. Margareth Atienza,

    Hi everyone 🙂. I just started learning korean a few months ago and I’m still a beginner. Some apps helps you learn korean words. I found their podcast in spotify and it was very helpful because they don’t just teach ther words they also help you construct sentences. I hope we can help each other. My kakao id is :RpmAtienza09

  22. Kendall,

    I would love to review my work/help with other people but I don’t know any of you first off and talking to strangers is really not my thing. I don’t think this would be really safe as some people could be creeps. Just everyone be safe especially when talking to strangers. I would rather like nobody to talk to strangers.

  23. michelle chijeche,

    Hi, when it comes to reading dates in sino-korean numbers i’m confused on how to read certain dates. e.g 2020 can be said as twenty twenty or two thousand and twenty. And 1632 is read as sixteen thirty two in english instead of one thousand six hundred and thirty two and 1996 is read as nineteen ninety six in english instead of one thousand nine hundred and ninety six. In korean are these read the same as english or are they always read as its literally written i.e one thousand, nine hundred and ninety six (1996), one thousand five hundred and twenty one (1521) and so on??

    any help would be appreciated. Thank you
