Thank you for your review. I‘m learning at the Sejong Institute in Berlin as well. I really like the books. There are more information than in the Sogang books. In the VHS in Berlin were I’ve learned before they use Sogang. But I agree that there could be more in the grammar section. Good to mention that there are workbooks for each class for free.

@kimincoree Жыл бұрын

I used the first of the Sogang book/workbook at the Koreanische Schule Berlin but I haven't been at VHS... Overall the New Yonsei ones are still the best though. I really like TTMIK but they are not meant for the classroom environment. Glad this video was useful ^^ and good luck with your studies! Which level are you doing?

@LaLeLu12209 Жыл бұрын

@@kimincoree I'll look into the Yonsei books. My new class Sejong 3 started last week. I work through the chapters as well and learn the vocabs beforehand. It helps a lot. I use TTMIK as well, I like the combine book and the new one "how to sound like a native speaker". A great resource is definitely Grammar in use, one of few resources available in German. 😉

@@LaLeLu12209 The old Yonsei books are not that hard to find but the New Yonsei ones I mentionned in the video are more tricky. I had to get mine imported from Korea via the Yonsei Bookstore. I didn't have a look at the new TTMIK book about prononciation but I will as soon as a get the chance! Which combine book are you referring to? Oh yes! I LOVE the Grammar in Use serie, I have all 3! They have the most detailed explanations out there. I didn't know they existed in German, but I speak English better than German anyway haha (I'm French). Oh you're level 3 already!

When is the best time to learn hanja as a beginner? I feel how you explained it it stood out for me and the words make sense thank you for that...... loving your content another fan from Nairobi, Kenya..... Learning korean and french❤❤❤

@kimincoree 10 ай бұрын

Yaay thanks! I'm glad to hear that you find my content useful! I will work harder to produce useful videos for you guys ❤ As for Hanja, I think hanja can be quickly overwhelming if you start as a beginner, where there is alreadu so much information but very useful from low intermediate! Now some people learn just the hangeul and it's hanja's meaning and use, other (like me) also learn the actual chinese character which makes it a lot harder but I think on the long term better because it would also be transferable to other similar langages (like japanese) and I think it's also cool to know things in details haha but maybe that's just my perfectionism speaking hehe. I am currently studying hanja and once i'll try different methods and books i'll start making video reviews about those too, so stay tuned to find out! :)

I'm at level 7 and I can't wait to "graduate", haha! Tbh, I am not super impressed with their books and have struggled to keep up....I don't find the books very pedagogical (I am a teacher myself) and there is too much (not always useful) vocabulary for my taste. Depending on my teachers, I've enjoyed the classes (or not) :) !

@kimincoree Жыл бұрын

Oh wow not long to go! 화이팅하세요~ yes this is exactly my sentiment. The books aren’t great but the classes can be good if the teacher is, and it is good to have the institute being available in so many countries (may I ask which country are you from?) and being so cheap so one cannot really complain even though it could easily be improved.

@HoneymoonJL 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for the video! I'm currently on the beginners course and worried about the exam! How long was the exam overall and how exactly are you tested? Is it both speaking and writing?

@kimincoree 9 ай бұрын

The exam is different depending on which institution you pass it in. For me we had to pass all four types (listening writing speaking and reading) but the teacher explained it all weeks before so maybe ask your teacher? Also don’t worry to much and make sure to memorise all the vocabulary and grammar you study in class regularly so you don’t have to stress and cram at the end of the term and all should be fine! ;) 화이팅~ good luck!

Hello and thank you~ where I live in Germany the physical textbooks can be found at some selected bookstores which sells Korean books and the Sejong institute I went to were selling them too for a time. In Korea you can find them all all major bookstores (kyobo, Aladin etc) and in other countries I reckon you would be able to find them on Amazon. But it would depend on where you live?

@@prettyrose3713 I see. Well if you come from an english speaking country (UK, US, Canada, Australia...) you can quite easily go to Korea and be an English teacher. For the other two, you'd need to have a pretty high level of Korean if you need to be able to speak on a daily basis. If you are high intermediate to high, it would be possible to be a webtoon translator from Korean to your native language depending the company's requirements.
