  1. Xinyi Li,

    haha like what you said, after i started learning korean 10 years ago with ttmik, ive really gotten stuck at intermediate for a really long time. super good news us that i understood 90% of the first two conversations, and only had to look up the other 10% of new vocab ๐Ÿ™‚

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Impressive! You can aim for a higher level now. ๐Ÿ™‚
      Thank you for studying with us!

  2. Esther,

    Even though I only understand about half it, I really enjoyed the first lesson. It is so useful to be able to listen to you speaking and reading the Korean subtitles at the same time. I’m sure it will help speed up my reading a lot, as well as learning how to pronounce the words (especially those annoying batchim). Also, I think it helps a lot with listening to hear four different people who all have naturally different way of talking at the same time.
    I will also go through the transcript and try to translate it before watching the video again, so thank you for providing the glossary. There is so much to learn from this video!

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      We appreciate your constructive feedback. ๐Ÿ™‚ Enjoy studying with us!

  3. Janice Dutram,

    I am not a the level (yet) to understand what is being said but I listen anyway. I think it is important to hear Korean spoken naturally. This gives everyone-regardless of level a chance to listen repetitively. Thank you T.T.M.I.K. team–I appreciate all the time, all the effort all the hard work you all have done!

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      We are happy to hear your nice comment! You will be able to understand it as time goes by. Thank you for studying with us!

  4. Karen Ordoyne,

    Awesome experience! Felt like I was listening to my parents and their visiting friends talking at the kitchen table, picking up some words here and there, but just letting the peaceful tone wash over me. I look forward to learning more words and listening in on other visits. Good job.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you. We are happy to hear your nice feedback! Keep up the great work ๐Ÿ™‚
