But the lower intermediate lessons get more difficult toward the end of the series and we'll have more Picture Video Vocabs and Advanced Lessons :) I hope you'll find them useful ^^ Sam,

Not a fan of the fairy tales. I challenge myself with lower intermediate but it's a bit advanced for me still. I enjoy the culture class, idioms/phrases and picture video vocab.

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! http://www.koreanclass101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=203&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=hanja Hey folks thank you all for your wonderful feedback.

I can understand that learning hanja vocabulary is important, but I don't see it being useful for KClass101 to write up special lessons on how to write and recognize the actual hanja. As many other listeners have pointed out, there are already many existing resources for learning hanja (especially stroke-order) on the web. As for my favourite special lessons: I also love the culture classes, and I also really enjoy the idioms/slang lessons.

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?

In my experience of reading what intermediate and advanced learners of Korean have to say, they always say that learning 한자 is vital to speeding up vocabulary acquisition. For those interested in expanding their vocab rapidly in this way I have it on good authority that this book is like the bible of hanja vocab study - recommended by several prominent Korea expat bloggers and with 4.5 stars rating on Amazon with 14 reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Korean-Vocabulary-Recognition-Comprehension/dp/0824818156/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222264648&sr=8-1 I can't comment on it yet but my copy is in the post.

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! James and erich beat me to it :smile:
