"Merry Christmas guys!! I've been spending Christmas morning with Lesson 7! Such a great lesson! Again, let me say how awesome it is to have lessons that are very well focused (no going off on confusing tangents), simple sentences, and very slowly spoken. I can't tell you how helpful that is for a very beginning learner. Slow and simple. Keep it up - this lesson package is a true gem!!"

"I was really pleased with the course "How Korean Sentences Work." I'm a upper beginner and have been studying Korean for a while now, but I always struggled with the word order when it came to making longer Korean sentences, and sometimes sentences in general. This video course had exactly what I was looking for! Hyunwoo ssi, did a great job breaking down the process. The first lessons are about how Korean structure works in general, such as particles, conjunctions, etc. Although I learned them through their audio lessons, learning it again through a video course really helped to reinforce everything. By the time you get to the last lessons, learning how to make a long sentence is not at all difficult. If you need a little help getting your word order straight when making sentences, or just sentence trouble in general, I wholeheartedly recommend this video course. I just wish I could give it a high rating. Great job TTMIK!"

  1. Cynn,

    Is this course just videos? There is a statement that says “this section is only available to Premium Members” I am a paid member, and don’t want to miss something extra like NOTES or PDF.

  15. Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

    Just finished this course and I’ve learned a lot. Thank you TTMIK Team for coming up with this very informative course. As a beginner, it really helped me how to construct sentences and make them longer. I still have to practice though in reading and writing. Nevertheless, I am so thankful that I came across your website. I am looking forward to more simple and informative lessons for beginners like me.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      감사합니다! 🙂

  16. Ashton Primm,

    Wow. This really helped me out. Any time I’ve watched dramas, variety content, or Korean youtubers since I’ve started learning, I have always been confused about where the verbs are & why the sentences are so long. Most of the time it gets translated into shorter english sentences, which really frustrated me. The last few lessons really really helped me understand. This is such a great course!

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      We are so happy to hear that our course was helpful. 🙂 Thank you for your comment!

  17. Weronika,

    Lesson 13 is not working. I really need it, so please fix it fast <3

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      We apologize for the inconvenience. We will update it as soon as possible!

  18. Tricia Anne Medina,

    It was really helpful.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

  19. Jas Y,

    This was a great course! I did it while I was doing level 2 and it worked really well together! It gave me the tools to express myself better! highly highly recommend!

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for your lovely comment! 🙂 Enjoy studying Korean with us.

  20. Faith,

    Love this course so far, but Lesson 13 isn’t showing an actual lesson. Only an introduction video to the course is playing.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Sorry for the issue.
      We are aware of this issue, and we will fix it as soon as possible.
      Thank you for your understanding. 🙂

  21. Maxim Paliy,

    Looks like a great course, but when I try to open lesson 13, the “How Korean Sentences Work” video is shown.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      We apologize for the inconvenience.
      Our team is working on this issue, and we will update the video as soon as possible.
      We appreciate your patience.

  22. Melmar Diata,

    Will there be more of this? This course helps me a lot to comprehend those sentences that I am confused of. I hope there will be more samples for those advance conjugations.
    Thanks TTMIK!

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      We will keep you updated if we do! Thank you for your nice feedback. Keep up the great work. 🙂

  23. Dorothy Leung,

    Is there a way to remove a course from My Learning Centre? I added too many and now I feel disorganized! 😬

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Please send us an email 🙂

  24. Noor Allawati,

    This course is magical. Doing it in parallel with my level studies & it is almost perfect! 감사합니다 ttmik ☺️

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you! Enjoy studying with us 🙂

  25. Britaney Gaither,

    This is really helpful! I’m in book two and these videos of going through the basics to a gradual build up will help me as I advance. I feel I might have to pause when there are grammar rules or particles I didn’t learn in my book yet.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      That is such a great idea 🙂 Keep up the good work! ^^
