As a beginner with zero knowledge about Korean(Hanguel) , it was quite amazing. The explanation was quite understandable.

I learnt so much from this course! I have been studying Korean for a while now, and to have a course on how it was formulated was truly wonderful. I am glad I came across it!

Pretty easy if you have a basic understanding of Korean history. The questions mostly answer themselves.
