    Wish there was more
    I really love this podcast! I learn a lot more from her teaching style, I wish she posted more episodes more frequently, I finished all of them and I would listen to them on my commute to work. I prefer this to TTMIK

    Best Korean podcast
    If you love K dramas and want to learn Korean, this is the best companion I have found to understand the grammar of Korean, how this language fits together. Kay is a patient and delightful teacher. And thank you Teacher Kay for creating this podcast and the EK website.

    Perfect
    This is PERFECT. It’s so helpful and easy to follow-I love it so much I joined the EK site. This makes it so much easier to learn as a complete novice to Korean.

    Amazing! Gamsahabnida Kay!
    This podcast is really amazing as a companion to Duolingo or some other learning system. I like to use Duolingo to learn the Korean alphabet and practice learning words. Essential Korean is great to learn actual phrases and conversation points, especially coming from a native Korean speaker. Listening to Kay makes me feel more confident regarding my upcoming trip to Korea. Thank you for your hardworking and teaching, Kay seonsaengnim!

    Excellent podcast
    This is a great podcast to learn how to speak Korean. The teacher not only teaches you about language, but also Korean culture and history which is absolutely fascinating. Would highly recommend this podcast and the website.

    Great

    A treasure for someone looking for thorough explanations and practice
    This podcast has become my go-to when driving. The explanations are concise and address the natural questions I have with the topic of the episode, and being able to say the Korean with repetition is excellent practice. I also appreciate that the episodes seem to have gotten better over time (the songs are a nice touch!): truly, Korean learners find a hidden gem in this series.

    first listen
    restarted practicing my korean today and I was happy to find this podcast. I’ve searched for something like this for a while and finally found it, the repetition in the episode and real life scenarios make it so much easier to understand words and phrases and actually apply and remember them. thank you!
