Customer reviews
"I love love love TTMIK and am so grateful to have found this site. This beginner series is a great supplement to the regular lessons provided on TTMIK's website; it is giving me more confidence in my listening skills, which is the area I feel I am the weakest in. I love listening to Cassie and ํ์ฐ break down the conversations in a very easy-to-understand and fun way. For all the hard work that the TTMIK team puts into their (free!) lessons, I think the beginner series is definitely worth the price. Thanks so much for making Korean so accessible and enjoyable! ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค! :D"
"I've learned a lot of new vocab and useful phrases from listening to the conversations and detailed breakdowns. It's really helping me a lot in developing my ear for Korean. I'm currently taking an Elementary (A2) course and I recommend starting this after finishing an Elementary (A1 or Topik Level 1) level course. I finished listening to all of the recordings once and I'm relistening to them again for the 2nd (or 3rd) time before moving on to the intermediate-level IYAGI materials. I've definitely noticed a mark improvement on my listening comprehension. All in all, I'm a big fan of IYAGI Beginner series and I wish they would make more!"
"I really like that they are breaking down every single sentence and they are expaining more difficult words that you can completly understand whole dialogue. It's a perfect way to study new words and natural sentences at the same time. I hope you'll make more of this goodness in the near future TTMK!!"

In Lesson 26, is there an error? ๋ฌป๋ค is translated as “to bury” and “to ask”
that is actually correct–the dictionary forms of the verbs are the same but one is an irregular verb (ใท ๋ถ๊ท์น in level 3)
-> ๋ฌป๋ค (to ask) -> ๋ฌผ์ด์
-> ๋ฌป๋ค (to bury) -> ๋ฌป์ด์
Hope that helps! ๐
This is an amazing course! It was really fun listening to the conversations and the line-by-line breakdown was really helpful. Thank you!
I really love this course. I learned new vocabulary and how to use it in dialog, that really helpful. Hope TTMIK would consider making a quiz for this course and wait to see more IYAGI courses!!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your sincere review! That means a lot to us!๐ฅฐ
Where can I find the pdfs for episode 11-end?
You can find the lesson notes below each lesson!
Oops, sorry! I have figured it out.
I love these IYAGI conversations, but would TTMIK ever consider making a review quiz for each one? I like to try and listen without translations/transcript first and would like to quiz myself on the context before I go into translating. ๐
Thank you for your interest in our IYAGI course! While we don’t have plans to create review quizzes for each conversation for now, we appreciate your feedback and will consider it as we continue to improve our content. ๐
Thank you for making such a helpful course!
(I hope this isn’t unwelcome feedback, but in the course description, you are giving us a “peek” into Korean culture, not a “peak.” Native English speakers make this error, too.)
Oh, thank you for letting us know! ๐
May I ask; According to the ‘Course Map’ this is what i should do next, after completing ‘Level 3 Korean Grammar’, although the introduction says this ‘Target Level’ is mid to upper beginners… just checking that this really is the next step (as I consider myself very much a beginner still)!! ๐ฅด And not one of the ‘Super Intense Review Kits’!! I know it is all rather optional but as you guys are the experts it is best to follow your lead! Thank you in advance.
Our Course Map is designed to help you learn Korean more effectively, so it is totally fine to take the courses that the map suggests. However, you don’t have to follow the curriculum if you feel it is too difficult for your level.
Feel free to send us an email if you have further questions or concerns!
This is an excellent course! I like the 2 speed dialog levels and the line by line breakdown with explanation is key for my learning style. The format is well thought out! I just renewed and I am looking forward to being together with you for another year!!!
We are so glad to hear that!
Thank you for your lovely feedback on the course ๐
Hello, Will a PDF be available for lessons 11 – 20 ? Thanks
oh …. ใ ใ I see it’s available .. my mistake
Where is it? I can’t find it either.
Glad you found them! ๐ Thank you for studying Korean with us.
The audio for Lesson 16 is not available.
Please send us an email! ๐ Thank you.
I love this course! I still have difficulty understanding the conversation however I am determined to continue my Korean learning journey.
Thank you! ๐
I love this! Didnt realize there was a follow up lesson explaining the conversation so i sat and translated what I didnโt understand ใ ใ ใ
That’s also a good way to learn. ๐ Thank you for your comment!
I just started and am loving this series already! It reaffirms what i’ve learned so far! I’m so delightfully surprised that I could pick up on what they were saying ๐ฎ !!
Thank you for your comment! ๐
Listening to lessons like this is very helpful. It helps my ears familiarize with the sounds and how some words should be pronounced. Thank you TTMIK. More to come please!
We appreciate your lovely feedback! We will continue to make more for sure! ๐
Hi this course seems very helpful but I am not able to access it even though I am a premium member. Can you please help me?
We are sorry for the trouble. We have just sent you an email, so please check it out.
Love this course! Also Cassieโs voice is so soothing!
You’re so right ! Her voice is nice ๐ Thanks !
I haven’t completed the course yet but I wanted to write a review already, so here it is! I’m really enjoying this course. It helped me big time in expanding my Korean vocabulary. I can now easily understand simple to mid-level Korean conversations. What I do in this course is I listen to the ‘conversation only’ lesson and translate it on my own. Then, I check the ‘explanation part’ to see if my translation is correct. I get a confidence boost whenever I get it correctly. No regrets in clicking that premium membership. ์ ์๋๋ค ๋๋ถ์ ํ๊ตญ์ด ๋ฐฐ์ด ๊ฑฐ ์ ์ด๋ ค์ ์. ์ ๊ฐ ์ด์ฌํ ๊ณต๋ถํ๊ณ ํ๊ตญ์ ์ฌํ ๊ฐ๊ฑฐ์์. TTMIK ํ๊ตญ์์ ๋ง๋์!!

I use a lot of TTMIK resources, and the IYAGI series might just take the cake. My listening comprehension improved drastically with this course, and I am going back through it all again. If you need to improve your listening comprehension, you should take this course.
Many thanks ! ๐ We’re so glad that it was helpful for you. Keep listening ! ^^ ํ์ดํ
This looks good! I did start with the ‘real-life conversations for beginners’ as recommended below, however what I missed on that course are the conversation transcripts (I still have blanks from pieces I couldn’t decipher from just listening and re-listening).
Thanks for the comment ! ๐ I’m afraid but we don’t offer transcripts in the course because the book “Real-Life Conversations for Beginners” already has them on it. I hope you understand this. Thank you.
Very usefull. I recommend to use first “Real-life conversations for beginners”.
Then jump to Iyagi and enjoy.
Great recommendation! ๐ ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค!
There’s no way to search on mobile to find the course recommended above. How can I find it without leaving the site and putting the search terms into Google?

Happy studying!
Really, really useful course! ๐ It helped me a lot with my listening skills.
Thank you for studying with us! ๐
How do I download these? after the update, I can’t download these anymore. ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค
After we launched the membership system, some policies has been changed, so some files are no longer downloadable.
Where can you access the audio for the conversations?
After we launched our new membership system, some audio files are no longer available. Premium members are the one who can access all our studying materials. Hope this helps:)
Hi, the course seems very helpful and well made. Thank you!
I have a question, though. Do you have any advice on how to approach the lessons? How to listen, how many times, what to focus on, when to move on to the next lesson? Lesson plan, if you will.
We do not have any specific plans for our learners, but we definitely recommend you to study the lessons as much as you can! You don’t need to completely understand all lessons, but keep repeating all the lessons for several times, and you will see yourself in the next level. Hope this helps ๐
It’s really helpful and I feel like there 2 korean people in front of my talking right now there voice is so clear
