Start Korean: Learn Korean with the Michel Thomas Method - Digital

This 1-hour digital taster course is for beginners who are new to the Michel Thomas Method. During the course, you will join Michel Thomas Method Teachers Jieun Kiaer and Derek Driggs and two students in a live lesson, learning from both their successes and their mistakes to keep you motivated and involved throughout the course. You, as the learner, become the third student and participate actively in the class. Within the very first hour you will be able to construct simple phrases by listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or stress of having to memorize. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary. The course will take about 3-4 hours to complete and is available to stream or download via the Michel Thomas Method Library app.

This is a brand new edition of Start Korean launched in June 2020 but don’t worry if you have the previous Start course… This is the taster course for people who are not sure whether they want to commit to the method so the Start Korean content is included in the Foundation Korean course.

Olly Richards from I will Teach You a language, says of his experience on the course: The experience of being a student on Michel Thomas Korean was far beyond what I expected. The teachers are exceptional and the course very well-structured. I’d recommend the course to anyone who’s looking for a solid start in the Korean language.
