"Merry Christmas guys!! I've been spending Christmas morning with Lesson 7! Such a great lesson! Again, let me say how awesome it is to have lessons that are very well focused (no going off on confusing tangents), simple sentences, and very slowly spoken. I can't tell you how helpful that is for a very beginning learner. Slow and simple. Keep it up - this lesson package is a true gem!!"
"I was really pleased with the course "How Korean Sentences Work." I'm a upper beginner and have been studying Korean for a while now, but I always struggled with the word order when it came to making longer Korean sentences, and sometimes sentences in general. This video course had exactly what I was looking for! Hyunwoo ssi, did a great job breaking down the process. The first lessons are about how Korean structure works in general, such as particles, conjunctions, etc. Although I learned them through their audio lessons, learning it again through a video course really helped to reinforce everything. By the time you get to the last lessons, learning how to make a long sentence is not at all difficult. If you need a little help getting your word order straight when making sentences, or just sentence trouble in general, I wholeheartedly recommend this video course. I just wish I could give it a high rating. Great job TTMIK!"

I wished I had done this course sooner. I studied Korean for 1 year before joining TTMIK and nobody explained these things like this, but I found the last 3 lessons so important because Koreans really use those conjunctions a lot and I could not understand those verb endings before…! Thanks!
I always have such difficulty grasping the ~는 것 principle but after completing the final three lessons it finally started to click for me! Hyunwoo has a wonderful way of breaking things down that is easy to understand. I am very much a beginner and can easily become frustrated trying to learn Korean on my own, but this course was amazing and gave me the confidence to keep going! 감사합니다!
Great course for beginners and great course as a refresh for intermediate/advanced learners. I am at level 8 but find this course a very helpful review, especially when creating multi-clause sentences. 현우님 is correct when he says that long Korean sentences can be frustrating (long English sentence can also be frustrating!). The breakdown of how to create the noun modify clause makes understanding the structure quicker. The sentence illustrations with pronunciations are very helpful and I like how each lesson builds up to the finale! Well done and I know I will come back to this one for a refresh when I get myself tied up in creating and translating sentences. I took some valuable notes that will be useful as I move up to the next level.
In love with this ccourse.It helped me realize how to form sentences for my TOPIK 2 writing section to start with. I recently passed TOPIK 1 and I am at level 2. Just how you made a course for TOPIK 2 reading section can you plz make one for writing section as well? It’s very underestimated and under-explained side of TOPIK 2. Well just how I am writing such a long comment in English I hope I soon can start writing such long sentences in Korean. 😂.. Definitely this course helped me with my step-1.
We plan to organize it in the future. We appreciate your interest!
I completed the first 6 lessons, but now get a 404 error message when I try to access any of the lessons for this course. Thanks for any assistance!

Just finished this course and it was FANTASTIC! As a beginner in Level 3, these videos supplied a refreshing amount of theory and supplemental rules alongside the general reviews that felt very rewarding to learn. 10/10! 감사합니다!
리뷰 감사합니다!😊 Hope you find our other courses FANTASTIC too!
I just finished this course in quite a short amount of time since I am already on level 4. But it was amazing to see the own progress and how logical many things have become over time. The explainations in these lessons are super clear and easy to follow. Keep up the great work! 🙂
I agree with Stephanie…I am on level 9 so it was basi… I put on speed 2x to finish faster.. but It was awsome.. I refreshed some concepts and learnt new stuff that makes the difference in the fluency of my Korean, THANK YOU !!!
감사합니다! 🙂
감사합니다! Now I think I can make my sentences longer. I just have 2 questions to ask:
제가 사는 아파트는 멀어요. => Why is there 사는 and not 살은. Just where did the ㄹ go if the verb stem is 살?
어제 산 책은 어려워요. => Just explain, please, why is there no ㅆ in the word 산? Like how can I tell that it’s in the past when there’s no ㅆ (샀어요)?
J’allais poser la même question 🙂 pour 살다. Je n’ai pas encore trouvé la réponse…

I gained an in depth understanding of what I learnt in Levels 1 and 2, I struggled a bit with Lesson 27: making your Korean sentences longer part 3. overall I truly enjoyed this course😀😁
We appreciate your honest feedback!
This course is fantastic!!! I’m still very much a beginner at Book 1, Lesson 13, but this course is helping me in understanding the structure around what I’m learning. I just finished the particles section and it made everything much clearer. So for those just getting started too, I’d recommend watching this alongside the regular coursework. Exceptionally helpful!
Thank you for your feedback! 🙂
Is this course just videos? There is a statement that says “this section is only available to Premium Members” I am a paid member, and don’t want to miss something extra like NOTES or PDF.
Sorry for the confusion!
Nothing is hidden or locked under that section, so please ignore the message.
