  1. Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

    Done watching the entire course! But still I find the conjugation of irregular verbs very difficult haha! Help please

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Keep up the great work! 🙌🏻

  2. Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

    Done watching Lesson 1 and I find it helpful and simple. The irregularities make Korean Language learning difficult and I hope I can overcome it.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      We believe in you! Thank you for studying Korean with us. ☺️

    • Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

      Thanks Team TTMIK!

  3. ELTON BITTENCOURT,

    안녕하세요!
    In lesson 16 the example sentence 저는 집에서 강아지를 걸러요. is really correct? If so, why the verb stem changed to 길러여 –>걸러요. ?

    Also, in the IYAGI begginer, conversation #2, it starts 경은: 주연 씨, 애완동물 키워 봤어요?
    Why 기르다 —-> 키다? Would it be different verbs?

    Both courses are superb by the way! I’m loving it so much! 감사합니다.

  4. Zell Cariaga,

    Is there any difference between 고르다 vs 선택하다?

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      They have the same meaning, but 고르다 is used more informally. 🙂 Hope this helps.

  5. Teresa Alves,

    Hi! I just completed this course and while studying I used the Korean Verbs Guide book that I own and I have a question:
    In this course, Lesson 21. is 묻다 “to ask” and in Book 1, Verb 35 is 물어보다 also translated to “to ask”. What is the difference between these two and when should we use one instead of the other?
    I enjoyed this a lot! The video is great to help with the pronunciation and the examples are something that we can use in daily conversations.
    By the way, I’d like to let you know that the link to watch the full video is broken (or could it be I am not a premium member?)
    감사합니다!

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      묻다 = original and more formal form of “to ask”
      물어보다 = more commonly used than 묻다 in everyday Korean (= to ask)

      Please contact us at our email(admin@talktomeinkorean) if you find any issues or problems on our website.
      (Detailed explanation on the issue with screenshots would be helpful for us to sort it out.)
      Thanks you for your patience in the meantime. : )

  6. Daniel Gönczy,

    I have just listened to Lesson 1 and 2.
    Great video material. Easy to grasp and remember, still something fun and useful in everyday life. 🙂

    -Do you happen to have a complete list of irregular verbs, aside from what is presented in this entire video course?
    Thanks a lot. It would be a tremendous help.

      Hi, I’m Hwayeon from TalkToMeInKorean. Thank you for your comment. However, unfortunately, we do not have the complete list of irregular verbs.
