 |
|
This is from the Hank Kim newsletter I received via email. I ordered the Cd and received it, without charge at that. It's great.
Free CDs with Korean Pronunciation Guide -- The National Academy of the Korean Language is supplying free CDs that teach the pronunciation of Hangeul [Korean letters] to English-speaking foreigners. The Korean pronunciation CD guide will be available until Mar. 31. You can request one or more CDs by phone (2669-9762) or e-mail ([email protected]) and will be charged only for the delivery. |

Didn't realize it was free!
There was an article about this in the Korea Times on January 29th, entitled "Pronounce Korean Like a Native Speaker".
The contact guy's name is Kim Sun-chul. The newspaper gives a different phone number: (02) 2669-9737. |

| Why would you pay someone ? Why haven't you already sent the guy noted in the post an e-mail submitting your mailing address ?? |

| The CD teaches ONLY Hangeul pronounciation? The alphabet only? Doesn't teach anything else? |

| I found an email address to inquire about this CD, and lo and behold one arrived in the mail today, no email response or cover letter. I did have to pay 3500 won for postage due. It actually looks pretty good; you can record your voice and compare your pronounciation with a native speaker, and there is an extensive section on intonation and sound changes. Pretty good product considering the price! |

How did you have to pay 3500 for postage? Did you have to sign for the package?
I got mine sent to me for free, no questions asked. |

I didn't even know they were sending it. It just arrived, postage due 3500 won, no note, no return address, nothing. Not that I'm complaining, for 3500 won it's worth it. |

| Just to let everyone know they're out of CDs, but will have a new batch in a while and they will announce it again. |
