제 이름이 zeinab 이에요.
저는 서른네 살이 예요. 제 생일은 9월 11일 이에요.
전 영어를 가르쳐요.
저는 결혼 했어요, 그리고 딸 하나 있어요.
제 쥐미가 책을 읽기 이에요.(is this sentence ok?)
매일 밤에 책 읽어요.
무라가미씨 너무 좋아요.
한국어를 매일 공부해요.
- Esther Choi, May 3, 2020
  
  제 이름이 Zeinab 이에요- 제 이름은 Zeinab 예요
  제 쥐미가 책을 읽기에요- 제 취미는 책 읽기예요 or 제 취미는 독서예요.
  독서 means to read books.
  -(이) 예요 is correct spelling 🙂
  -이/가 is very hard to mater in Korean, I always say it is hard as teaching Korean speakers the usage of English articles. haha
  
  제 이름은 에스더 예요
  저는 스물 두살 이에요. 저는 한국어를 가르쳐요.
  - Zeinab sedaghat, May 4, 2020
    
    정말 감사합니다 🙏

Finally, I finished Level 2 and 90% understand the dialogue without seeing translation.
Jia Peruda, April 28, 2020

i was able to understand some korean sentences now but i’m also having difficulty in constructing my own sentences
Phúc Hy, April 28, 2020

I’m a bit confused. In lesson 16, the example “별로 재미없어요.” should have been translated into “It is not that boring.” (instead of “It is not that interesting.”) like the other two examples. Am I right? If not then could anyone explain it to me, please?
Thank you. ^^
- Shweta S, April 29, 2020
  
  재미 means interesting and 재미없어요 means fun is not there that’s why 별로 재미없어요 means it is not that interesting.
  - Phúc Hy, April 29, 2020
    
    Oh I got it. Thank you!!
rutuja badbe, April 28, 2020

For lesson 12, I Want to say that ,
제 생일은 유월 십육일 이에요. 😊 but I am confuse is it 십육일 or 십유일 ?

Also , if I want to say ‘today is April 28, 2020.’ How do I say it ? Is there any standard format like DD/MM/YYYY ?
- Fletcher Graham, May 5, 2020
  
  It is 십육일. 유월 (June) Is just an exception for the month name
- Nathali Guevara, April 28, 2020
  
  It’s YYYY/MM/DD

    That is exactly the aim of the test. To check that, even if you don’t understand the meaning of the words whether you are able to associate them with the shapes. Thank you for the response.

한극어는 영어보다 어려워요 (Mind you, English is not even my mother tongue lol)
Toh Tzyy Chyi, April 23, 2020

안녕하세요 TTMIK 선생님. 문제를 있어요 for Lesson 20. In written form we use 되다 but in spoken form we use 돼요. Could you explain how to change 되 다 to 돼 요?

감사합니다.
- alyssa g, May 1, 2020
  
  the one ending w -다 is dictionary form, and to use it when speaking, you replace the -다 with -요 🙂 it happens with all Korean verbs 🙂

안녕하세요! I have an answer for lesson9: 저는 한국 친구두명 있어요.
I also have a question. Do the spaces between phases make different translations? I used Google translation once with different position of the space and it translated in different ways. Thank you for your answer in advance! 감사합니다!
Christine Sotto Cervantes, April 18, 2020

Level 2 is interesting! 재미있어요!!! I’m studying korean language. I’m attending school and finished basic 1 and 2. I’m currently enrolled for a elementary 1 class which is I think on level 2 after basic but because of community quarantine in our area, classes are suspended for the meantime. So Im very thankful for this, I was able to review what I’ve learned in the past lessons and I have some hints on our next topic we are going to discuss when the class resume. 수고하셨습니다! 파이팅!!!!! 😊
Jaden Barnes, April 18, 2020

- , April 19, 2020
  
  제이덴, i guess. If that’s how you pronounce it. Not sure tho.
  - Jaden Barnes, April 19, 2020
