Well, though U could learn some useful pronunciation rules, it could be better for providing more examples. Also, not all the rules are introduced in the entire course of 6 videos. There are some other rules too. When ㄹ meets ㄴ & vice versa, it is ㄹ sound. For instance, 설날 is pronounced as 설랄, & 선로 is pronounced as 설로. When ㄹ meets ㅁ, 음력 pronounced as 음녁. For ㄺ ㄻ, the 2720 rule, pronounce ㄱㅁ etc.











Explanations are clear and concise with some funny anecdotes, very different from a lot of teachers out there. Information and tutorials can be quite overwhelming. I'm grateful to have followed Yoon Ssam on IG and having a reliable source to learn Korean from!

I like yoon sam fun character. He is also not strict with the rules and very flexible teaching method. On top of it with on point information. Its a really helpful and well prepared lesson.
