No. The course starts from zero. Teacher 박쌤 explains each rule in English, and every Korean line comes with its romanization and its meaning.
Which languages are the explanations in?
English, French, Spanish or German: the lessons are narrated in your language, and the subtitles show the hangul, the romanization and the translation.
