Hyunkyu Yi

He is super kind crying face helped me so much

Such a kind and friendly instructor -- this is an intro class so the workload was never crazy. He's cute in like a grandpa kind of way and likes to throw around some jokes here and there.

Third year korean was focused on more formal grammar patterns that can be used in written Korean or something you'd find in readings, articles, or on news. Nevertheless, it was very useful.

I really enjoyed this class and value the education I got out of it. I would highly recommend this class, especially Professor Suh, to those who want to get started on their Korean journey! 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2022 Course: KORNUN1101_005_2022_3-FIRSTYEARKOREANI : KORNUN1101_005_2022_3 - FIRST YEAR KOREAN I Instructor: Joowon Suh

Hyunkyu, (Yi sun seng nim), is perhaps one of the most thoughtful professors on this campus. He understands that students taking this class have a wide range of skill. While some students might be native speakers looking to perfect writing grammar, others come in with a much more modest background. In all cases, he works tirelessly to improve your Korean proficiency. Everyday, he comes in with a lesson plan that corresponds to the textbook material. He is very organized and ensures that each student participates on a day to day basis. Occasionally, he'll bring in a Korean movie to watch for 15-30 minutes of the period. The class enjoyed these quite a bit. Hyunkyu is such a lovable teacher, and many of his students plan to take Korean again with him in the following semester.

He is the bestt! 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2022 Course: KORNUN1002_001_2022_3-INTRODUCTORYKOREANB : KORNUN1002_001_2022_3 - INTRODUCTORY KOREAN B Instructor: Hyunkyu Yi

This man, is THE best. You will learn a lot, and he keeps you on your toes. I'm taking him again next semester. Thank you Professor Yi, for being the awesome.

Korean vocabulary, grammar, and culture.

It allows for the speaking, writing, and ability to understand basic korean. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2021 Course: KORNUN1101_004_2021_3-FIRSTYEARKOREANI : KORNUN1101_004_2021_3 - FIRST YEAR KOREAN I Instructor: Joowon Suh

I absolutely loved this course! Professor Yi was definitely the number one reason that I loved it so much. I agree with all the previous reviews of him. He definitely guides all his students. He accommodates for those students who would like to delve a bit deeper in the language than the syllabus. He also accommodates for his students when midterms, papers, and finals in OTHER classes become overbearing. He also teaches much colloquial usage of the language, even though it's not textbook Korean. He is very supportive of all his students endeavors. I don't think I've had such a caring, thorough, and efficient teacher since my Spanish teacher in sophomore and junior years of high school. It was a refreshing change of pace for a college student to take this class!
