우쿨렐레를 한 번도 만져본 적 없었는데 이 강좌 덕분에 정말 편하게 시작할 수 있었어요. 기본 코드부터 스트러밍 패턴까지 순서대로 차근차근 알려줘서 따라가기가 전혀 부담스럽지 않았습니다. 특히 손가락 위치를 화면으로 자세히 보여주는 부분이 초보자한테 정말 큰 도움이 됐어요. 매일 조금씩 연습했더니 이제 간단한 노래 하나는 완주할 수 있게 됐습니다. 악기를 처음 배우는 사람한테 딱 맞는 구성이라고 생각해요.

Wala akong alam sa ukulele bago ko kinuha ang course na ito, pero sobrang linaw ng pagtuturo mula sa mga basic chords hanggang sa strumming patterns. Bawat lesson ay maikli lang kaya kahit busy ako sa work, kaya kong mag-practice ng ilang minuto araw-araw. Nagustuhan ko rin kung paano dahan-dahan tinuro ang paglipat mula sa isang chord papunta sa iba. Sana lang mas marami pang halimbawa ng kanta para ma-apply agad ang mga natutunan.

Курс хорошо объясняет базовые аккорды, но темп между уроками иногда слишком быстрый.

Explica os acordes básicos de um jeito bem tranquilo, só senti falta de mais exercícios de troca entre acordes.

Der Kurs erklärt die Grundakkorde wirklich verständlich, auch für jemanden wie mich, der noch nie ein Instrument gespielt hat. Die Übungen zum Anschlagmuster haben mir am meisten geholfen, weil sie klein aufgeteilt sind. Etwas mehr Übung zum Umgreifen zwischen Akkorden hätte ich mir noch gewünscht.

İlk haftada üç akoru ve temel vuruş kalıbını çalabilir hale geldim, anlatım çok net.

I picked up a ukulele for the first time last month and had zero idea where to start, but this course walks you through chords and strumming patterns at a really manageable pace. By the end of the first few lessons I could already play a simple song all the way through. The practice routines are short enough that I actually stick with them every day.

Super Einstieg für Ukulele-Anfänger!

The chord progressions build up nicely from lesson to lesson, which made practicing feel a lot less overwhelming than I expected. I especially liked the slow-motion strumming demos since I could actually see what my hand was supposed to do. My only gripe is that the tuning section could have used a bit more detail.

यह कोर्स शुरुआती लोगों के लिए बहुत अच्छा है, बेसिक कॉर्ड्स और स्ट्रमिंग पैटर्न बहुत आराम से समझाए गए हैं। हर लेसन के बाद प्रैक्टिस एक्सरसाइज देना अच्छा आइडिया है। बस ट्यूनिंग वाला हिस्सा थोड़ा और विस्तार से हो सकता था।
