Ah! I’m excited about the pronounciation lessons! Gimme gimme gimme XD

Do the video vocab lessons count as non-standard lesson type? I really like those! Some of the dialogue is way over my head but I pick up a lot of words from those lessons, and even if I don’t remember them just by thinking, when I run into them again I’m all “Ah! I know that word!”

I also really liked the video tale lesson!

Good luck with school Minkyong :3

I also like the video vocab lessons. A great thing about them is that they can appeal to learners of various ability, beginners as well as intermediate learners.

Sad to hear that Jeong-eun’s blog is going to end… I really enjoyed it So keep those advanced lessons coming

What I really like about kclass101 is that I can get audio files that are full of authentic Korean, but still don’t feel lost due to transcripts and vocabulary in the PDFs. I’d love to learn more vocabulary of the king that’s been coming up in the advanced lessons so far.

I’m also a big fan of the video vocab lessons, and 정은의 audio blog, especially the commentary on those too, that’s a really really good way to hear practical conversational Korean as Korean people speak it

How about for an advanced series a lesson series focusing on learning Hanja and the links between hanja and lots of Korean words. You could cover 5 or so related hanja’s per lesson and tons of words that they are made into in Korean, perhaps with a picture video vocab going at the same time. That would be awesome, what do you think?

I think you should make a lesson series like this to keep intermediate and advanced learners interested in the future

Hey everybody,

This is my first post here and I’m really glad I found this resource. I’ve been learning Korean for 7 years but except a 2 month intensive class in a hakwon, I’ve only studied by myself and really didn’t improve as much as I’ve wished.

My current level is about lower intermediate, but the regular intermediate lessons are really a kick for me.

I join those who would like some lessons with a focus on hanja. Just having the hanja in the pdf however is not what I’m looking for, since I’d like to write them and therefore would need the stroke order. Something adding ethymological information to the kanji could also be helpful for remembering them. All this would imply that it would be a video lesson

When we are talking of writing, I find myself often in trouble when reading Korean handwriting (hangul). Of course, it’s like every handwriting, some write “nicely” i.e. similar to print, others have their “very own style”. In order to get more fluent in reading handwritten hangul, it would be great to see some various samples explained.

Heh, just thinking loud, maybe some ideas are crap but hey, you asked for them!

See you all around, it’s really fun here.

I love the culture classes as well as idiom classes! so difficult to pick one.

Jeong Eun’s blogs’ content are interesting esp those about special places such as jjimjilbang, noraebang, wedding cafe. But her narration is really monotonous, just reading out all the words. I still prefer 현우 씨 blogs which are more lively with more expressions.

As for the PVV, i like the notes a lot they have so much vocabulary and examples!

On top of all, listening to the hosts is 대단히 enjoyable!

Millions thanks to the team!

ooops i meant the intermediate series

James and erich beat me to it
Yeah I would love a beginner’s approach to hanja. Video-vocab style of course to show brush stroke order and similarities (and possible misinterpretations) with current Korean words.
For that matter, a Korean culture class on Hanja itself would be helpful for clarifying its place in the Korean language. But then again, I love Korean history altogether.
Either way, keep up the great work, fearless teachers. KC101 has come a long way - let’s keep this class heading in the right direction!

I second Hanja lessons!!

안녕하세요 여러분, I’ve been using this website for a while but this is my first post.

저도 한자를 공부하고싶어요…

한자를 배우고싶은 사람들은에게, 제가 이 두 사이트 사용해요:

(네이버 한국 서점도 한상 사됻해됴)

한자의 뜻이 몰라면 이 사이트 사용할 수 있어요:

첫번째 사이트에서 한자 찾안 다으에 두번째 시이트에서 한자를 copy-paste (붙이다?) 할수 있어됴.

koreanclass101 소과셨는데 고맙습니다.

I’m just wondering: do Hanja lessons really help if you don’t already know Chinese? For me it helps a lot to know the Hanja because I already know Chinese. But for those who don’t, doens’t it make things more complicated?

Hey folks thank you all for your wonderful feedback.

Hanja lessons have been a request since the beginning! And we’ve had numerous discussions on whether or not we should have hanja in the PDF, or even as lessons.

Here’s the basic explanation:

The reason we hesitate to bring Hanja into the lessons (the actual Chinese characters), is because they’re simply not used in Korea. It’s not particularly practical to learn Hanja to live in Korea.

That said, Hanja is everywhere in Korean! And each hanja has a corresponding 한글 block. And I think remembering those are essential to building vocabulary. That’s why we mention it in the lessons as well as provide the essential ones in the lesson notes PDF.

That’s the short version of the story.

Check out the discussion in the forum for more detailed explanations!

So with the audioblog ending, there’s really going to be nothing at a level higher than the Lower Intermediate lessons?
