  1. Hugo Orozco,

    I just have finished this first level, and i really loved it. These courses have helped me a lot on my korean learning journey, even though somedays i didnt want to study, every single time that i came back to my korean book, i just loved it more and more, and wanted to carry on.
    I really love TTMIK, and i will continue learning with this source .

  3. NΓ‘dia Diniz,

    I have studied this a long time ago (until level 2) and before I started studying level 1 again I did the “test my korean” thing and it actually turned out that I had enough knowledge to study level 3. It’s awesome how after 2 years you don’t lose the ability to remember a language πŸ™‚

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      That’s great! Keep up with your Korean study!

  9. Albi Dvorani,

    Hey everyone.. i just join these site since we are in quarantine i wan start learning korean… i dnt now where to start how to start if someone can help me it will be great..

    • ,

      Hey! I recently joined too… I started from Level 1 Lesson 1 in “My Learning Center”… awesome!

      • Albi Dvorani,

        But is not better start with gramatic a dictionari or dnt now bc i dnt now any words.

      • My Kookie,

        To start off, I recommend learning Hangul (The Korean Alphabet) first. Once you get a good idea of that, then you can move onto the simple words like Hello (μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ„Έμš”) , and Thank You (κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€), Which they teach in Lesson 1 of Level 1. When you go into a lesson it will also have a “sheet” that shows you on paper what the word you are learning is, along with audio of them discussing what the words mean, in a fun and interactive way.

  10. Priscilla,

    So I was trying to practice some other sentences after lesson 7 but I don’t know if those are correct like can you really say ”κ·Έκ±° λ¬Ό.” or ”이거 볼펜.(This ballpoint pen)” because to me it sounds weird to say.. can someone tell me please

    • Joyce Sundo,

      i think you only say ”이 볼펜” instead of ”이거 볼펜” to say this ballpoint pen. “”이거” is more of used like a pronoun to say this thing (ballpoint pen)

      • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

        Thank you for your kind answer! ☺️

  12. Meera Visakan,

    Hi Guys,

    Hope you are safe and well.

    I am from London, UK and have recently started to learn Korean.

    I wanted to know what the best way is to learn with someone else at my level or learning Korean too?

    The only app I have researched about is HelloTalk? Is this any good?

    Any helpful suggestions will be welcomed.

    Thanks!

    • Abigail Alvarez,

      hi if you go on cousera they have a bunch of free and very good online courses for learning Korean. I am currently doing the beginner one and i love it. The course includes 10-15 minute lectures, worksheets, and a quiz at the end to test your knowledge. I def recommend those courses for anyone who wants extra learning.

      • Meera Visakan,

        Great thanks Abigail πŸ™‚
