Hello! I have a question about the dialogue at the end of lesson 1. When talking about going to eat pizza, Hyeonju says that they like pizza. They use “좋아요”. I was wondering why “좋아해요” wasn’t used instead?
Hi, what i understood is “좋아요” means “good” which is the right word to say instead of “좋아해요” means “to do good” which is an awkward reply. Hope that helps!
현주 says ,”피자 좋아요” literally meaning “Pizza’s nice”. So she means to say “Pizza sounds good, I’d like to have it.”

안녕하세요! In Lesson 21, in the second set of Sample Conversations, why is “I’m not hungry” written as 배 안 고파요 instead of 안 배고파요? 감사합니다!
I can help you with that. When you use 안 it comes just before the verb to make it negative. 배 is a noun (Stomach) that’s why you can’t say 안 배고파요. This sentence, without conjugation would be like this: 배가 안 고프다. I hope this explanation can be helpful.
감사합니다! Thank you so much! This really helps! Thank you for responding.

I’m on level 21 now, and I can’t seem to figure out how to say “I didn’t sleep” .
자다 is sleep . so how to make negative from this word? google translate only making in to formal way using 자지
Lien Kim explained well, but if you have any other questions, please let us know:)
저는 자지 않았어요 // 저는 안 잤어요
자다: to sleep >> negative form using 안/ 지 않다: 안 자다/ 자지 않다
then you add past tense suffix: 안 잤어요/ 자지 않았어요.
Thank you for sharing your comment 😀
Since the first lesson of each premium course is provided for free, I wish there would be a way for basic members to “test” the sample dialogue and quiz from the essential courses ….
We understand you, but as you know we launched our new membership system, the premium members get more benefits for studying materials. However, the good news is basic members can also try the sample dialogue and quiz from each level’s lesson 1. Happy studying:D
For lesson 26 we are listening and pointing out what we remember from lesson 1 ?
Lesson 26 is a final review for level 1. You can check whether you completely understand all lessons. It is combined with the main points from each lesson. In addition, you can download the free PDF. Hope this helps:)
Great!!! 감사합니다!!!
say “great” in Korean also
너무 대박아요! 이거는 좋아요!
How do you say : Level 1 cpmpleted?
Completed*
레벨 1 완료. Hope this helps 🙂
The 100% korean dialogues are back guys!
Great!!!!!! I’m glad!!
Yay
I don’t understand why some video courses like the Q&A, essential irregular verbs and several others were free before (they still are on youtube for free by the way; moreover, the YouTube playlist for the q&a has more videos than the website), but they are premium here ?
*I see that I had an answer given to me on another comment but since there are no notifications, I didn’t see it… Sorry for the double post!
Hi, I’m Hwayeon from TalkToMeInKorean. The course is a sample lesson, so everyone can take the course 🙂 Premium members are able to access all courses with more studying materials like sample dialogues and quizzes. Basic members can try only first lesson from each course.
I subscribed for a month just to see the sample conversation at the end of each Level but they removed it. (if anyone knows where it is please reply) I am talking about the long conversation where all lesson per level are reviewed (the one where 3 friends meet to celebrate a party and all the lessons in Level 1 were used). If they really removed it there’s no point in being a member honestly. Cause the sample conversation is limited only per lesson now.
Yea it feels a bit like Harukorean 2.0. if anyone remembers that project of theirs even…
what bugs me is how some of their contents which are free on youtube and were free on the previous version of the site as well, are premium here
I wish we could delete/modify our comments
They don’t specify anywhere that they would provide the long dialogue tho …..
They removed the sample sentences from friends as well. This site was better before. The sample conversations per lessons are too simple and short. It’s not worth the subscription
I was listening to an audio lesson and heard the sample sentences from friends …..
Hum really ? And how do you cancel the subscription ? Do you go to your account and click cancel or do you have to write to them to ask for the cancellation
Because automatic renewal is my worst nightmare
It’s a pity we basic members have no access to sample dialogues anymore. I was looking forward to completing level 1 and listen to the sample dialogue at the end. But I was late😑
I hope to be Premium soon. Greetings from Argentina!
Yes, if you can become a premium member, I highly highly recommend it. I have recently became one (since yesterday). I am currently on level two, however, I am not consistent with studying Korean so I went all the way back to level one just to refresh my memory and perfect some of the lessons I struggled with. The premium offers short dialogues, they are not lengthy as the original ones, but it is enough for you to grasp the conversation, additionally there is a quiz that can be took at the end of lesson. the quizzes are ten questions each and you have the opportunity to view each question after the quiz is submitted. Furthermore, they’re are additional courses you can take: “common Korean mistakes, “IYGAI: Beginner”, “how Korean sentence work”, “Korean pronunciation guide”, Korean sentence building practice”, and so much more. In my opinion it is worth upgrading to premium. you would be at an advantage. At the end of the night I was shocked on how much my Korean has improved in just one day, I went from a beginner to mid beginner. So if you are serious about learning Korean, this is the way to go. Plus for me, it is motivation to study because I will be paying a monthly fee and if I do not study then ill be paying for no reason. Good luck on your Korean journey.
