“Really happy with the Korean classes, teacher Da-eun is patient and thorough. I just wish there were more exercises on the Busan accent — my in-laws are from the south.”
“my whole team is korean. 6 months on Targumi and meetings finally make sense”
“Started because I couldn't follow K-drama subs without watching the screen. 5 months later my coworkers ask me to translate lyrics. Went further than expected 😅”
“Been into k-dramas for years, embarrassed I still needed subtitles. Teachers are genuinely good. only downside: the writing exercises get repetitive after a while, same sentence structures over and over.”
“my boss invested in a Korean company back in March. now I've got a 20-min call with Seoul every Monday and I'm actually holding my own 🇰🇷”
“thursday evening class is my thing now. teacher Haerin got me to understand speech levels in one session, I'd been trying to figure that out for months 🇰🇷”
“my roommate is korean, after 2 months I could follow her phone calls with her parents. she looked at me like I'd pulled off a magic trick 😂”
“Gifted Korean subscription to my mom for her 62nd birthday. She discovered a new passion. Thanks Targumi.”
