Intermediate Korean I

Hyunkyu, (Yi sun seng nim), is perhaps one of the most thoughtful professors on this campus. He understands that students taking this class have a wide range of skill. While some students might be native speakers looking to perfect writing grammar, others come in with a much more modest background. In all cases, he works tirelessly to improve your Korean proficiency. Everyday, he comes in with a lesson plan that corresponds to the textbook material. He is very organized and ensures that each student participates on a day to day basis.

Occasionally, he'll bring in a Korean movie to watch for 15-30 minutes of the period. The class enjoyed these quite a bit.

Hyunkyu is such a lovable teacher, and many of his students plan to take Korean again with him in the following semester.

I've had Professor Won for a couple courses already and cannot say enough great things about her. As a serious student of Korean, I've come to her office hours to get more tutoring and she has put every effort into helping me and any others who would seek extra help. With so many classes language teachers much teach, I appreciate that kind of dedication. In addition, while language learning can be repetitious, Professor Won always tries to make class time as entertaining as possible (obviously within constraints), including anecdotes and funny jokes that relate to the lesson plan at-hand. She also explained grammar patterns in a way that was easily digestible. I would recommend any class she teaches without reservation.
