  4. somiya yiyi,

    Hi can u help me…I m facing some trouble actually I m in level 1 lesson 7 and I m confused about ๊ฒƒ and ๊ฑฐ pls help me…in this thank you

    • Nela,

      ๊ฒƒ and ๊ฑฐ both mean โ€œthingโ€œ they can be used with ์ด, ๊ทธ, ์ € (this, the/that, that over there) so for example you want to say โ€œthis thingโ€œ you say ์ด (this) ๊ฑฐ (thing) = ์ด ๊ฑฐ. If you’re confused when to use ๊ฒƒ and when ๊ฑฐ then I can tell you that there is no difference. When Korean language was developed they started to pronounce ๊ฒƒ as ๊ฑฐ so it can be easier for them to pronounce. You can also try pronounce both and you’ll see that ๊ฑฐ is easier.

  5. Ellie Gannon,

  11. BTS Mochi,

    Hello hello! I just started learning with TTMIK today, and it’s actually really fun. But I’m afraid I’ll lose the motivation. I’m currently at lesson 4, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to learn faster or have more motivation ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Connie,

      i reccomend listening to kpop songs and watching bts nct whoever crack videos. nct daily is good to. also take good notes and speak it whenever possible. make it fun and take a break on weekends. i do 2 lessons a day and im on lesson 21. hope this helps x

    • Latreva,

      If you haven’t already, learn Hangul as soon as possible. Once you do learn it, read as much Korean writing as you can, even if you don’t understand it. Also, listen to as much Korean as you can. Try to write your own sentences once you learn a new vocabulary word or grammar structure. As far as motivation, one of the things that motivates me is when I hear a word or a sentence that I understand, it makes me want to learn even more so that I can understand everything that is been said or written.

  12. Victoria Martinez,

    where can we learn Hangul?

    • Mira Sahawneh,

      you can search youtube there are a ton of videos also try to learn badchim

    • Kayzjah,

      There are some very helpful videos on youtube about learning Hangul or you can use websites like duolingo, memrise, howtostudykorean and eggbun is a really cute way of learning Hangul too! I hope this helped.

  17. Crizelle Kyle De Luna,

    can someone pls help me on the topic of level 1 lesson 9 i don’t actually get it

    • Tessa Kadens,

      Just continue learning, it’s a new concept and you have to get used to it. You can’t just memorize it, continue studying and you’ll see it more often and start to understand it slowly. Maybe go back every now and then to review the lesson again.

  18. carmetaferr2,

    I love how you guys teach! Thank you so much!!

  19. ,

    TTMIK you are the BEST, Thank you so much!!!
    Hyunwoo-ssi, Kyeongeun-ssi Thank you!

  20. ayeokayy,

    Oh wow! Just finished level 1 so far and i never thought i’d focus on learning a language so much until now! Thank you so much!

  21. Khadija Abdi,

    Iยดve always been reluctant to try TTMIK for some reason, but I’m giving it try and hopefully I can excel in my Korean and finally be able to speak it.

  22. Entis,

    I have been finish my level 1. I am so excited to next level. Thank you for being amazing.
    I am Indonesian and I want to more about korean. Terima kasih banyak doakan saya semoga selalu semangaat untuk belajar. Sehat dan bahagia selalu ๐Ÿ™

  23. VEE SAN,

    I started learning Korean so I could converse with my boyfriend’s parents! I think this is really helpful and makes everything feel more natural.

  24. KHAI STEPHNEY,

    i stopped learning korean because i wanted to learn japanese , but i want to still learn korean . should i wait till i’m at an an intermediate or advanced in japanese and than study korean or study them at the same time while i’m a beginner in both languages?
    tell me your opinion !!!

    • Evelyn Kim,

      Hi Khai! I suggest that you do what you think is best for you. ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m Korean by ethnicity and I actually disagree with Ange, I see Korean and Japanese as very different. They do have some similarities, like the word order in a sentence, but the writing and speaking systems are totally different.

    • ange marrero,

      i suggest waiting til you are advanced in japanese. korean and japanese are similar and will get you very confused

  25. aurorahorizon_,

    I’m just starting! wish me luck hehet ๐Ÿ™‚
