At first, I tried learning Korean on my own using a textbook, but it didn't work well for me. I had to learn too many words at once, and memorizing long lists of words and phrases from a textbook is not fun, so I wasn't motivated enough to keep up with it. What I loved about Expression1 was that each lesson was presented in a short segment. It was easy to learn something new every day without feeling overwhelmed. I had so much fun the entire time! Ryan is funny, energetic, and has an amazing smile! I always felt happier after watching one of his videos.

Again, this is a late post (about a month ago I took this challenge.) At first, it was quite difficult to learn a whole new alphabet. There are many sounds and letters that are different than English or Spanish. However, Ryn, Mia and the whole Hoonie community made were very encouraging about not giving up. They made it so fun! I love this Hoonie community so much; that I completed a second course Expressions 1 and now signed up for a 3rd challenge!

So fun! It's challenging for sure but I enjoy the challenge and you never feel like it's something you can't achieve. Plus the plot is entertaining haha

It helped getting a better aspect of using formal and causal speech, since one mostly hears one form being used by both persons and usually not both at the same time.

Expressions 2 has been the most interesting for me so far. It has not been easy, but through Ryan, l look forward to it everyday! I have so much enjoyed uploading videos of myself having a pretend conversation with myself. I laugh and sometimes l cringe at these videos, but also have learnt a lot from them as l can see where l make mistakes of pronouncing and intonation of words. My teacher Ryan has made this a fun experience and l love it.
