Customer reviews

"The book allows to focus on one word a day (if one wants, and it is a good idea) and offers many excellent examples of usage, pronouncing each example very clearly, twice at normal moderate speed, once very slowly, and once a normal speed. I have gone as of now only through one week, but I have learned a lot. Very well done!"

Randolph P.

"The design is very attractive and clean. The phrases are useful and natural unlike boring textbook samples. I like how the explanation of each sentence is kept simple and short so we can use our brain to identify the grammar ourselves."

Julie N.

"This is the second part of the "My Weekly Vocabulary" series. These sentences are perfect for the long commute and help you keep up a wide variety of vocabulary. The format is also good for giving you a chance to hear it, repeat it slowly and then repeat it at regular speed. A great way to internalize the words."

  1. Maria,

    In the sentence 너무 맛이 없어서 먹을 수가 없어요 why is -가 attached to 수 when it is part of a construction (-(으)ㄹ 수 없다)?

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Hi! In the sentence, -가 is a prepositional particle for nominative, and that is why it is attached to “먹을 수” 🙂

      “-가” can be added to emphasize something. For instance, you can say “I can’t (나는 할 수 없어)” or “I just can’t (할 수가 없어)”. They are both grammatically correct, but adding “-가” emphasizes that I “really” can’t do something.

  2. Cindy Yeo,

    Can i ask if there is the audio version for My Weekly Korean Vocabulary Book 2 please?

      • Cindy Yeo,

        Thank you! 🙂

        May I check too, for My Weekly Korean Vocabulary Book 1, the hardcopy book I have does not follow the table of contents on: https://talktomeinkorean.com/curriculum/my-weekly-korean-vocabulary/
        I wanted to play the audio on the online version while looking at my hardcopy textbook, but the lessons do not tally.

        May I find out how to use the resources please? Thank you!

      • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

        No problem!
        You can go to our Book Audio page below. Here is the link: https://talktomeinkorean.com/audio/
        Please send us an email if you need further assistance. 🙌🏻

  3. Luna Meza,

    Hi, in Lesson 9 the phrases “만나지 말았어야 했어요. = I shouldn’t have met him/her.” and “어디에서 만나고 싶어요? = Where do you want to meet up?” are flipped according to the order of the audio.
    Also the phrase “만날 수만 있다면 뭐든지 할 거예요. = As long as I can meet him/her, I will do whatever it takes.” is missing from the audio.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for the heads up!
      FYI, you can find the phrase “만날 수만 있다면 뭐든지 할 거예요 at the end of the audio.

  4. Franz Daniel Co,

    Hi, I believe there’s a mistake in Lesson 34? It is written there: “제 자리에서는 하늘이 잘 보여요. = I can’t see the sky clearly from my seat.” Thank you!

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for letting us know. We will fix it! 🙂 Enjoy studying Korean with us.

      • Elina Heikkinen,

        There are many other mistakes, too. I think many of them are in page 2. For example this one in Lesson 52: 짧다 = to be long.

      • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

        Thanks for the heads up!

  5. Baerbel Kulisch,

    Why are the sentences not written in Korean language? I can just see English words and sentences.

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for studying Korean with us!
      Our materials are written in Korean and English. Please contact us if you still have the same problem.

  6. Nyasia Hunt,

    I’m level 1 (lesson 7). Is this course too advanced for me?

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for studying Korean with us. It could be challenging, but if you know how to read Hangeul, you will learn lots of useful sentences!

  7. Amna Alb,

    Hi, I have a question about the second lesson. In the sentence, “너무 맛이 없어서 먹을 수가 없어요.” You can say 맛없어요 instead of 맛이 없어서 right?

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for studying with us. 🙂 If you just want to say ‘it tastes bad,’ you can say that!

    • Letícia Santana,

      I think for you to say 맛없어요 you have to then say 그래서 먹을 수가 없어요 since these two informations are related 😀

      • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

        Your explanation is also correct. 🙂 Thank you for studying with us and supporting other learners!

  8. Nassim,

    This course is so useful and really well-made, thank you 🙂 I was just wondering if the colours mean something in the PDF, like the red for beginners, the green for intermediate and the yellow for advanced learners ? Thank you again 🙂

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Red-nouns, yellow-sentences, green-verbs.
      Thank you for your nice words!

  9. Phộm Tún,

    I hope the Premium Courses will include comprehensive quiz as well

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for sharing your thought here. 🙂 We will consider it carefully. Thanks!

      Thank you for your comment. 🙂 We hope you get a good grade in TOPIK test and enjoy learning Korean with us ! Happy studying!

  11. 문대맄,

    Hi TTMIK (or anyone who can assist)!

    In Week 5 Lesson 4, did I comprehend it correctly that 마시다 can also mean “to inhale”? 😮

    • TalkToMeInKorean Staff,

      Thank you for asking 🙂 To inhale : 숨을 들이마시다 (To breath in) , 가스/연기(gas/smoke)를 마시다 // To drink : (음료,물 – liquid like juice,water..etc)마시다 // To sum up, “inhale” and “drink” have a different meaning but they both can be translated into “마시다” in Korean. Hope this helps. 🙂

      • 문대맄,

        Thanks for the clarification! I guess it boils down to context and sentence.

        Tons of nice content, by the way! As a mid-level beginner, I find these sentences quite helpful.
        More power to you, TTMIK 😀

  12. Festré Yvan,

    Maybe the most effective course. You not only learn a lot of vocabulary but go through many different usefull sentence patterns.
