  12. Gayathri,

    pls solve me this doubt
    For water do i have to say mul or bul

    • chathu iresha,

      Mul

    • sanskar mishra,

      mul

    • Sasha,

      Thats a common doubt. often mul is heard as bul because the M in mul is so subtle that it almost sounds as bul. Just check on utube abt korean M pronounciation. Futhermore bul has its own meaning which is fire so dont say bul for mul cuz u want to sound korean

    • Rose,

      물 = Mul is water.

      불 = Bul has it’s own meaning too, which is Fire.

  17. Noemie Quijano,

    First discovered TTMIK through their app I saw in the App Store about only 4 days ago. I think it is better listen and study Korean lesson through a desktop or a laptop instead of through a mobile phone. I finished up to level 2 in the app and continued Level 3 here on this site. TTMIK’s Korean lessons have really (like really really) helped me improve my Korean understanding a lot. Their lessons even on YouTube have so much information, insights and explanations that makes it very unlikely for one to not understand the lesson. I think Hyunwoo ssi and the other teachers being very fluent in English is a huge factor on their effectiveness. Thank you for your passion to teach Korean TTMIK team. KUDOS!
