    Thank you for posting this! I reviewed some of the lessons on your site and they're very helpful. I still have a long way to go before I can really say I'm good with Korean but I think your site will be a big help so thanks a lot!

    thank you, but I wish there was only Korean in the audio, gets too confusing mixing languages when you're learning :-(
