Recently I've told you that I won a 1-month membership of Harukorean.com when I bought 'Talk to me in Korean' Level 1's book (read the original post here). Frankly speaking I didn't buy the book thinking about HaruKorean (actually, in that moment I thought that this site was kind of needless and unhelpful). But... since I won the membership I gave it a shot.
There I could access the 10-minutes podcast lessons - Interesting, but why should I pay US$61.99 (for 12 months access) for something like this? But I continued discovering the site... After which lesson you can write a sentence about the vocabulary or grammar learned from that lesson and it will be correct by a native teacher. After you do this 2 things occur:- You can see now the correction of other students' sentences. In other words, you can learn with yours and their mistakes.
- You earn points (for finishing one lesson, for writing sentences and for sharing them). With them, you can compete with the others users/students. It's a tool to motive the learning and I liked it.
Anyway, I listened 8 podcasts and wrote 8 sentences from Level 1 (really beginner). For my surprise, just 5 sentences from 8 were corrected... Besides correcting the wrong sentences, the teacher even suggested other forms of written for some of the right ones, giving new possibilities for me to express the same idea. I was able to write a reply for one correction and he replayed back, solving my doubts! It was AMAZING!!!
For my surprise and total regret of my arrogant and rude misjudgement, this site is completely AWESOME and EXTREMELY HELPFUL! After my membership expires I will renovate it, because this kind of learning tool is ESSENTIAL if you are like me and don't have anyone to teach you or correct your mistakes.
TTMIK and HaruKorean teams, please forgive me!
죄송합니다
See you soon! 안녕히 가세요!
