Learn Korean Language

I forgot to say, 

Since I know that many of you are into KPOP and would like to start learning language as well, there is one great way to actually learn KOREAN language plus get a certificate for it. There is course from the Yonsei University through Coursera named First Step Korean. I think that you could learn a lot from this, and in the end, if you pass (at least 60% grade) you can earn verified certificate from Yonsei University through Coursera. (You pay $49 for a certificate, however there’s also option financial aid for those who want to learn and pass, but cannot afford the fee. They usually grant it if you apply, so this is great opportunity for those who want to learn).   It is really easy to enroll. You need to be 18+ though, because if you apply for verified certificate they’ll need to verify your identity. However, if you don’t want to get a certificate, Coursera offers option to AUDIT whole course for FREE. Whole course is college-like (meaning you have video lectures to watch, quizzes to do, maybe some assignments to write and sometimes midterm/final exams.) It lasts 5 weeks and it’s created to be flexible so you maybe need only around 3-4 hours per week for it. The length depends from course to course, and specializations are usually few months long. Link for this course is here. 

There is also similar course for Chinese language Chinese for Beginners from the Peking University, so if you’re interested you can find that one here. It also offers certificate upon competition. 

I just think that this is good opportunity for you to learn things that you usually don’t have chance/way to learn. And if you don’t know anything about Coursera, they offer all sorts of coursers and specializations in all possible fields (from Arts through Science to Humanities etc.) to AUDIT for free or pay/get financial aid to get a certificate. There are worlds best universities on the list. So maybe, you could find coursers you like, enroll, and in the end obtain valuable knowledge and a certificate from that particular university! Not only that you’ll gain valuable knowledge and skills, but you’ll also have a certificate to present to your employer or others. For example you want to learn to program? Or learn creative writing or learn about worlds energy or some specialization in biology, medicine, economy, law, engineering… etc. They offer all that and more. To be honest, I am very glad that I have opportunity to learn things that were unavailable for me in my country and listen to the worlds best professors. So, I think it’s great opportunity for everyone to learn something they like and later display what they learned with a certificate so I am sharing this with you. Knowledge is power.  If you perhaps have any questions how Coursera works, you can ask me anytime.

DON’T IN KOREAN (~지마)

reminder that this is informal and you should add 세요 (Seyo) to make it formal, as in “가지마세요 (gajimaseyo) Don’t go”
