I have just finished Level One of the Essential Korean Course.
I found the lessons very enjoyable, informative, and practical. Even with the simplest grammar structures, TTMIK has made me feel like I can actually communicate in Korean about everyday real life things (my past experiences of starting language learning took me to sources aimed towards children). The lessons were well organised, systematic and easy to understand, providing me ease of mind. Also, I enjoyed the integrated approach to lessons where all aspects of language learning were addressed (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), as well as cultural aspects. As a result, I felt that the course has helped me build a very strong foundation. As the construction of the course is clear, visible, and logical, it provides learners like myself confidence to move to the next level without worrying that I’m missing something or feeling like I’m still inadequate in a certain area(s) (e.g. Strong in reading and writing Korean but feel weaker in speaking and listening).
Looking forward to moving forward to the next level.

There is 10 levels..you mean group for ttmik?
Hello all! I love using TTMIK to learn Korean. I am a little older but wanted to challenge myself and keep my brain sharp by learning another language. Here in Hawaii there are many cultures around and with the amount of Korean people and content around, I wanted to learn more about how to understand and communicate with not only people but to better enjoy all the entertainment that Korean Culture has to offer. It has been challenging as I am a Filipino born and raised in the USA so English is my native language but these lessons and the way it is all set up are helping immensely. Thank you TTMIK! I need to go and finish up Lesson 22 right now and I’m looking forward to each upcoming lesson.
Lesson 9 좋다! 는,은 ,이,가 help me a lot ! !

Hi everyone! I’m really enjoying learning, I’m in lesson 17 and I feel I’m learning a lot… I was wondering if you’re combing this level with other modules. I want to do the super intense review kit and the dictation one but I’m wondering if I should wait to finish this or if I go ahead and do them at the same time. Does any of you have suggestions about other modules that go well with Level 1.
Hai guys if your a bts army and you want to learn korea then we have the best server for you in discord! https://discord.gg/9wx5VEbq <- just go to this link and u can interact with many army who also wants to learn korean! Enjoy the stay :))
set the link to ‘never expire’ as when I tried to access it, it wouldn’t let me in D: 감사합니다!!
hi! I recommend Coursera.com, serch Yonsei University, they’re teaching korean!
I use that ,, it’s very effective
If I do a subscription to Coursera, can I learn Korean from another instructor/professor?
Well, this was fun. Challenging but fun for sure. Looking forward level 2!
There are 10 levels of Essential Korean! You already can go to lvl 2 🙂
Finishing level 1 was so much more rewarding when I made a dedicated study plan (and purchased their premium membership!) What an incredible resource this website is, and when people ask me about places to learn languages, I think “I wish there were TTMIK like resources for every language, it’s so good!”
Do I have to purchase the premium membership in order to find it as rewarding as you did?
Why does Yes (네) sound like (데) to a lot of English speakers? Does the n in new and the d in do sound the same to Korean speakers?
안녕하세요, I am Czech, but it sounds like a “데” for me too. It’s just the sound that is made after you say it. I am not good at explaining things, but I hope this link will help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhf9NWKHjqE
Nice name
Bts a big fan
I watched a video on it. They said Korean people pronounce their n’s differently from us by having their tongue near the bottom of their teeth instead of the top of it when pronouncing it. Also, especially when the character is the first one in the one you tend to pronounce the first letter more harsh or hard. Blunter basically.
I think they made a video on this topic on their channel, you should check it out!
Can someone please explain the difference between topic marking particles and subject marking particles?, I’m still confused. 🤷♀️
Well, I still continue having problems with them, but take a look at this video, it helped me! Good luck!

It does right? I just finished my level one but before moving to level 2 Im browsing through everything before moving on but the correct pronounciation is ne but people have been saying de IM not sure why though but thats what Ive learned.
Hi I think it’s for ease of pronunciation.
Finished Level 1! I was so surprised by how much of the review dialogue I was able to understand. I didn’t expect to understand much at all, I thought I’d just catch a few words here and there. Somehow I was able to follow along somewhat, and then after just one read-through, I could understand everything! Thank you so much for this, can’t wait to start Level 2!
간사합니다!
I just finished Level 1 and I’m looking for a study partner/group my KakaoTalk ID: Dolly Medhe & my insta ID: vaishnaviii786 please add me if you are interested in studying with me
I just finished Level 1 and I’m looking for a study partner/group my KakaoTalk ID: Dolly Medhe & my insta ID: vaishnaviii786 please add me if you are interested in studying with me
WOWWW!! Well done for completing level 1, I just started Level 1 a week ago and I feel like it helps me so much. Don’t worry about your Korean typing as it is hard to know where the letters are and I still make mistakes. GOOD LUCK ❤️ WITH LEVEL 2 !!
thanks
Can you help me studying? ❤😊
who? me?
hi
Yes I need a partner
do you have kakaoTalk? we can message there
I downloaded it.give me your name
my name in KakaoTalk is Tasnim
감사합니다*
Still not used to typing in Korean 😅
I have a quick question. I am confused on the difference between 이다 and 있어요.
있 어 요 is used when talking in the past such as 갔 어 요 (I went) while 이 다 is used when talking about verb stems 가 다 (to go). I hope you can understand this. Good luck in learning Korean.
이다 means to be, sort of like an equal sign, so when you say 제 이름은 (Name)입니다. (입니다 is just 이다 conjugated) you’re really saying my name = (Name).
있어요 is the conjugated version of 있다 meaning to exist but in a more simplified explanation, it means to have something.
Yeeeaah!!! I finally finished with Level 1. Lesson 25 was the hardest for me. I still don’t know how to say something From A to B. However, I will still review it.
good for u im taking 1-2 lessons a day cuz im memorizing them carefully…..anyways congrats🎉 God bless on ur next journey
Hi there! Lesson 9 question: would it be grammatically correct and natural for native speakers to say “이거가 좋아요”, as in “THIS is good”? Or would it be more natural to just use 이거 alone, without the particle? Does this also work for 그거/그거가?
Thanks!
ARMY
BTS! ARMY!
Heere
“가” will not be used with 이/그/저 in this case, 가 is a subject marker and even if you use 이/그/저 as a subject in your sentence, you have to use 거 (것), if you are using 거, there’s no need of using 가. I hope it helped.
Duh! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much!
Recently I had finished level 1, I am still reviewing it before I move on to level 2. However, for just a lesson for beginners I feel like already I have learn so much in the past 2 months. I keep practicing and when I watch funny BTS videos I can understand bits here and there. 감사합니다! 🙂
Right! I feel like I learned so much in just 1 month
I just did the level 1 review at the end. What lesson were the days of the week in to learn? They surprised me.
It didn’t have days of the week, though. It asked until what time she was available.
Why is it 살아요 instead of 살어요?
Because the vowel in the verb stem is ㅏ (in 살), so it needs the 아요 ending.
Hello 🙂 I know ㅓ ㄹ ㅌ ㅣ ㅜ ㅗ ㅍ ㅏ ㅅ ㄷ ㄱ ㅎ ㅈ ㅋ ㅇ ㅊ ㅂ ㄴ ㅁ ㅐㅔ 얘 ㅑㅕ. When you say 1 of them, for example, let’s use ㅜ. When you say that one out, do you just say, “u”? Or is there a name for ㅜ? Thanks!
its the sound the letter do like ㅜ is u like “ugh” im bad to explain
There is a name! “u” is just the sound. Miss.Vicky on Youtube has a video of learning Hangul, and she tells you all the names of the consonants and vowels. Hope this helped!
There aren’t any names for vowels.
Vowels don’t have a name other than the sound of that vowel. But consonants do have names! And also double consonants =)
you do not say u as in “yu” but “oo” because that is how it is pronounced, but if you want to say the letter ‘ㄱ’ [g] there is a corresponding name for it which is ‘gi-yeok’
yea you just say u because there isn’t a consonant
There is a name for it
Hey! So as far as I know, we can call the consonants by name like for example ㄱ is called giyeok…but for vowels, we call them by the sound..taking your example, ㅜ is called u
Hope it helped!
or put sang infront of it right?
Well ㅜ from what I’ve learned is pronounced “oo” like the u in glue. The name for ㅜ is (우) since ㅇ is an empty con. in this it’s basically just oo itself
Well ㅜ from what I’ve learned is pronounced “oo” like the u in glue. The name for ㅜ is (우) since ㅇ is an empty con. in this it’s basically just oo itself
Solo decís “u” , las consonantes si tienen nombres.
no there is a name for it but I don’t know it.. I think you don’t need to memorize it
it’s a vowel so it sounds like its name. which is “u”
Yes, you would just say “u”.
Hello 🙂 I know ㅓ ㄹ ㅌ ㅣ ㅜ ㅗ ㅍ ㅏ ㅅ ㄷ ㄱ ㅎ ㅈ ㅋ ㅇ ㅊ ㅂ ㄴ ㅁ ㅐㅔ 얘 ㅑㅕ. When you say 1 of them, for example, let’s use ㅜ. When you say that one out, do you just say, “u”? Or is there a name for ㅜ? Thanks!
Korean language get easier when one know the hindi💯
There are names for all of them, most of them follow a rule, but I think three of them don’t
The consonant have name s
Never mind i figured out my mistake.
Why is it?
I misunderstood the lesson….I thought that the verb stem had to end in ㅏ or ㅗ to use 아요 , not that ㅏ or ㅗ is the last VOWEL and there could be a consonant after that.
살다 is the dictionary form. And because of the “ㅏ” in “살”before “다” the rule is that “아요” is the ending, not “어요”
먹다 is an example for the second one. There is “ㅓ” in “먹” before “다” so “어요” is the ending.
I thought because 살 ended with ㄹ turns it into 살어요?
That was my confusion also but you look at the last vowel not the last letter
I really loved this first course. I will continue practicing and learning such a beautiful language. Thanks a lot
안녕하세요^^! I have a doubt. Can I say “내일은 제가 일해요” instead of “내일은 저는 일해요”. Since 저 is the subject of the verb can i use 가 instead of 는. (Note : when 저 is used with 가 it is said/used as 제가 instead of 저가)…. someone help me ^_^!
How do you say in Korean the letters of the English alphabet? Like A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Z? Thanks
Korea has its own alphabet called Hangul:) we do not need to know the English alphabet in Korean
Wait, how about, for example, you are playing a game on a computer and someone tells you which key to click then you can do something on the game. Do you still use Hangul to say which letter? Thanks
Oh ok 🙂
Hi, can somebody tell me, how do you know what order you put the words in, in a sentence? I am now doing lesson 18, and it said: 3. Let us say “Where do you want to go?” in Korean.
to go = 가다 [ga-da]
do you want to go = 가 + 고 싶어요 = 가고 싶어요 [ga-go si-peo-yo]
where = 어디 [eo-di]
to = -에 [-e]
Where do you want to go? = 어디에 가고 싶어요? [eo-di-e ga-go si-peo-yo?]
And so I tried to guess the whole sentence, I got it right, but the order wrong. So, how do you know where each part goes, exactly? (exactly because I know that the 가고 싶어요 [ga-go-si-peo-yo] part is at the end 🙂 )
Thanks!
I think it is time, place, subject, object, verb but I cant promise
마자요! Correct! you would but “어디” in front of “가고 싶어요.” For me, it helps to translate the English sentence into the Korean grammar order first before putting it into Korean. You would want to end up with something like ” to what place (어디) do you want to go (가고 싶어요). These examples are kind of similar but I use that to help.
I’m Indian so I’m learning Korean by using Hindi. Because both Hindi and Korean use the same pattern to form sentence. so, like if you know Hindi it’ll be easy to form Korean sentence.
Hi, so if you say, “This is tasty” it is, 맛있어요. But how do you say, “This is really tasty” something like that. Thanks! 🙂
I would think it would be 너무 맛있러요… Or would you use 정말 here?
I meant 맛있어요…mustve fat-fingered it there.
정말/진짜 맛있어요
너무 맛있어요
Remember that the Korean sentence structure follows the subject-object-verb or adjective order. As I understand, here “어디에” is the object of the sentence, and then, the whole verb (the rest of the sentence) is “가고 싶어요?”. Puting all together “어디에 가고 싶어요?”. I hope it helps you.
Thanks!
I feel as if i’m graduating and going on to grade 2 🥺 im almost nervous :ㅇ Im a big kid now >:) Good job everyone!! 파이팅!
Help! I have no idea if I should use i-geo or ye-yo more, aren’t they basically the same thing? For example. This is ABC is the same as It is ABC. Are they different and are there different situations to use them in? Thanks!
So, the difference between these actually relies on word ending. There’s no actual difference, it’s really just a grammatical thing. If the word ends in a consonant, then it will end in 이에요 (i-eh-yo). So, if you were saying “This is Water.” Water = 물 in Korean, and the last ‘character’ is ㄹ, which is consonant. Therefore, it’d be 물이에요.
However, if the word ends in a vowel, then you are going to add 예요 (ye-yo). So, if you were to say “This is coffee.” Coffee = 커티 in Korean, and the last ‘character’ is ㅣ, which is a vowel. Therefore, it’d be 커피예요.
Hi, do you think if you say, “This is tasty” and “This is good” is the same if you say, 맛있어요? Because I usually say, “This is good” rather than “This is tasty”. Thank you 🙂
Weird question but in lesson 9 it’s 내일은 저는 일해요.
But shouldn’t it be 저가 instead of 는, as “I” is the subject or the verb “to work”? Why is the topic marking particle used twice?
Good job!
me too lol, feels somehow monumental. excited about how much progress ive made, with just 25 podcast episodes !
*Please tell me in English*
Can someone tell me what the difference between ㅆ and ㅅ if you know? Is ㅅ like [s] like at the end of “chess”? And is ㅆ [sh] like in “shoe”? If not, what is it? And also, ㅉ and ㅈ. Is ㅉ [j] in “juice”? And is ㅈ like your teeth touching and pronouncing ㅉ [j] but your molars aren’t touching…? If I’m wrong, please tell me the right way. *Please tell me BOTH of them 🙂 *
What i have found is that the double consonant sounds are closer to the English pronunciations. ㄸis like a d in English, ㅆ is like an s, ㅉ is like a j, and ㅃ is like a b.
Hi! So what you’re looking at are Korean “Double Consonants.” Five of the Korean consonants take this form: ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅉ, ㅃ, and ㅆ. The main difference is in emphasis. Double consonants are said with more emphasis than their single counterparts. They are stronger and sharper. TTMK actually has a nice video on it that may be helpful since hearing the consonants out loud may be more effective.
Link: https://youtu.be/Gg-VZxBIZjo
Hello! (Just letting you know I don’t have the Korean keyboard) SO the s is just the normal s sound (like salt or sandwich, but it can change to a sh sound depending on the vowels used) but ss is a stronger s sound not necessarily a sh sound. The ss sort of sounds like when we imitate a snake (sssss). J and jj is similar. J is the normal j sound (like juice or jump) while jj is a stronger sound (I usually pronounce it like the j while smiling lol). Hope this helped, if not, try using google translate to try and differentiate the sounds!!!
Thank you! 🙂
I don’t claim to be an expert but the way I understood it was that the ㅅ is pronounced like the s in “standing” or “stop” (so it automatically makes a ‘sh’ sound with the ‘ee’ vowel after it), your tongue is slightly behind your closed teeth and then you pass air through it (I hope this makes sense).
And I understood ㅆ as a sharp, hissing sound(like the English ‘s’), like the ‘s’ sound in “sun” or “set”.
i hope that helps. And if I’m wrong, please correct me too. I would appreciate it.
Thank you 🙂
Ohh okay! Thanks, would you mind telling me what the difference between ㅈand ㅉ, too? Thanks again 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂 .
Hmm….for the difference between ㅈ and ㅉ , that is a bit difficult to explain because…..Okay.
Random fact: My mother tongues are Urdu and English. And in Urdu, there are two different ‘j’ sounds (whose romanization is different: ‘j’ and ‘jh’). I related ㅈ( جھ )(‘jh’) and ㅉ( ج )(‘j’) to them. I’ll try my best to explain, though.
So ㅉ can be (in a way) considered to be the same as the English ‘j’. The English ‘j’ is a tense sound, if you think about it. It’s not that aspirated, I would say.
But ㅈ is aspirated. If you try to read ‘j’ and ‘h’ together quickly(quick enough that the two sounds become one) , you might get it (I say “might” because for me, the ‘jh’ naturally becomes ‘جھ’ sound in my mind, so I can’t say for a person who doesn’t know Urdu)
I hope that helped. Sorry I couldn’t explain it better. 🙂
P.S. I just thought that you don’t know Urdu or you would have made the connections to the sounds. If you do, please don’t be offended. 🙂
Best of luck with your learning!
화이팅!
I understand a bit. Thank you!! It’s ok, you’re trying to do your best. 🙂
Welcome! Thank you too 🙂
How do you type in Korean? I’m halfway through this level but I still can’t read or write. Do you have to have membership to learn to read and write?
go watch the korean hangul tutorials in youtube for example korean go with billy has a lot of good video for hangul
hello acually you can go to pinterest its an app for inspiration and stuff i think u know it serach for my profile there my username is : @inesxbb ur gonna find there a stuff named “learn korean ” go to the very end ur gonna find a very long pin about learning how to read and write with a litle of practice ur gonna progress
you should add a korean keyboard to your phone (in settings) and there are some others sites and videos on youtube that can help you to learn the korean alphabet (its pretty easy tbh). good luck!!
No, but you must educate yourself to read and write
dont worry. Its not necessary to buy the memebership. There is the website called https://www.howtostudykorean.com/
They teach you the vowels and the consonants pretty well.
or you can go to “youtube” and search for korean class 101.com and video title will be something like hana hana hangul.(i learnt writing from there)but i recccomend “how to study korean ” becoz it is more detailed…..if u hav pronounciation problem,then you can take help from the youtube channel i mentioned.
HOPED IT HELPED YOU
anneyong! 😀
Yes, you do have to have a membership or you can probably just buy the book.
Oh, I have this input on my laptop to write in Korean. You don’t know how to read or write in Korean? Well… (actually, before I used TTMIK, I used Memrise. They taught you each of these below. Also, I’d prefer just doing some of that, and still do TTMIK because they taught me some pretty random words…)
ㄹ: [l] (for me, I think it’s mostly like an l)
ㅡ: [eu] kind of like “gOOd” – the 2 o’s
ㅓ: [eo] like in “thOUght”, “gOt” (just make sure your mouth is kind of opened big)
ㅌ: [t] like in “Talk”
ㅣ: [i] like in “mEEt”
ㅜ: [u] like in “pOOl”
ㅗ: [o] like in “hOle”
ㅍ: [p] like in “Pinch”
ㅏ: [a] like in “Animal”
ㅅ: [s] like in “Stop”
ㄷ: [d] like in “Door”
ㄱ: [g] like in “Girl”
ㅎ: [h] like in “Hate”
ㅈ: [j] like in “Joke”
ㅋ: [k] like in “cheCK”
ㅇ: silent at the beginning of a word, and before a consonant. [ng] at the end of a vowel – kind of like [eung]
ㅊ: [ch] like in “CHicken”
ㅂ: [b] like in “bus”
ㄴ: [n] like in “No”
ㅁ: [m] like in “MoM”
ㅐ: [ae] it sounds like when you say the letter A but you mix it a bit with “e” like in “bEd”
ㅔ: [e] like the E “bEd”
Hopefully, this is what you want to now and hopefully, it makes sense to you :). If it does not make sense, ask!
thanks!
That’s so fantastically understandable, thank you so much.
안녕하세요. Hello. I am working off an MS Surface with Windows 10. I added the Korean language (한글) through Settings > Time & Language > Language > Add a Language. I can toggle between languages by selecting from the taskbar or using the Windows key + space bar. Once selected to type in 한글, there is a Hangul/English toggle on the taskbar. I also added 한글 my iPhone through Settings > General > Language & Region > Add Language.

Hi, you might recognize me! Sorry I have so many questions, I could search it up on Google Translate but it is not so good. Anyway, do you know how to say, “what are you doing?” or “what are you doing now?” It doesn’t matter 🙂 Thanks
what are you doing is,뭐해요?
Idk how it came to become 뭐해요,but i know what it is though!
뭐 is what
해요 is are you doing (the present tense from the verb 하다 )
What are you doing?:
“뭐해요?”
What are you doing now?:
“지금뭐해요?”
Hope this helped
Se diría:
뭐 해요?…
Hi, I don’t know why I can’t write something up there. Anyway, does anyone know how to say, “Why are you so far away?” So like kind of like social distancing but you don’t want them to go so far away. If someone does know, please tell me! 🙂
I think you’ll be able to learn that in the upcoming levels even though its a beginner phrase 🙂
Ok! Thanks 🙂
(it says brandon because this is my dads acc- my name is Arianne UwU)
Can someone tell me what the difference between ㅆ and ㅅ if you know? Is ㅅ like [s] like at the end of “chess”? And is ㅆ [sh] like in “shoe”? If not, what is it? And also, ㅉ and ㅈ. Is ㅉ [j] in “juice”? And is ㅈ like your teeth touching and pronouncing ㅉ [j] but your molars aren’t touching…? If I’m wrong, please tell me the right way. *Please tell me BOTH of them 🙂 *
Si bien ㅆ y ㅅ ambas tienen la similitud de que son una “s” para los hispanos hablantes, su diferencia es que ㅅ es una s suave (menos marcada) y ㅆ terminaría siendo cómo una doble s, es decir, si la romanizamos sería una ss (es mucho más marcada). De todos modos cómo un plus me gustaría decirte que ㅅ por lo que voy aprendiendo, cuando está acompañada de I (i), ㅑ(ia), ㅕ (io), ㅛ (io), ㅠ (iu) cambia su sonido a “sh”.
I don’t speak Spanish, and I translated it, I can’t relate, because I don’t even speak Spanish! So I don’t understand. So English please I specifically wrote my question in English so I could get an answer in English. Sorry, that didn’t quite help me.
Does anyone know how to say, “Yes, I did” or something like, “I did already” like you already did something, and you say that after someone asks you if you did that yet. Or like if someone asks you if you tried a snack that they really like and you already tried it. Please tell me if you know! Thank you 🙂
네, 했어요
Hi, does anyone know how to say, “You’re welcome” in Korean? Please let me know! Thanks 🙂
Use Papago 🙂
anieyo(no problem=welcome) used often or chomaneyo(not used often)
Thanks
Lo más común es que cuando aguien te da las gracias: “고마워” solo repsondes: “아니요”…eso es lo más común y usado…
Or maybe you could say 네, 저는 했어요.
Well I think that technically you could just say 네. Ex) If someone asks “Did you eat?” and you could just say 네.
Hi Arianne! Wanna be study buddies? 🙂
hola yo tambien tengo hellotalk
Yeah! Do you have Hellotalk? We can communicate there!
I finally finished Level 1 and i’m so proud of myself!
Fighting!
Hi, does anyone know what the difference is between, ㅜ and ㅗ? Yes, I know that ㅜ [u], ㅗ [o]. But like in the word, 괜찮아, which is [gWaen-chan-ha], so the ㅗ is what makes the W sound, but there is also, 뷔페 [bWi-pe] and this one, the ㅜ makes the W sound. What’s the difference between ㅜ and ㅗ?? If you know what it is, please tell me! Thank you so much 🙂
Hi. Have you studied hangeul yet? If not, you should. It would be really helpful and you will be able to understand the difference between the vowel and consonant sounds. I tried to learn Korean first without learning hangeul and it possible but difficult. Once I sat down and learned the alphabet it became extremely easy.
Wait actually… I didn’t. That was in one of my dreams 😂so where can I study hangeul?
there is this site called howtostudykorean.com
they tell you all the consonants and vowels ..like the ones that include the w sound.
I learned from here. But it’s a very long video.
https://youtu.be/s5aobqyEaMQ
Yes I did. Or maybe I’ll just study it again… But thanks 🙂
First, in the word 괜찮아, it is not just ㅗ. It is the diphthong 왜. A diphthong is a combination of vowels. I suggest you look up a video about this and you will understand them better. But yes, 왜 is pronounced “wae”. If you pronounce both vowels together and fast, you will hear a sound almost identical to “wae”. I hope this helped.
Oh wait, but then both of those if you pronounce it quickly, it sounds like wae, but in 괜찮아, and 뷔페, what is the difference between the ㅜ and ㅗ? It doesn’t matter?
Oh wow I’m pretty dumb. But thank you so so much!!
You shouldn’t say that. You are learning like everyone else. Naver dictionary helps.
Ok, thanks.
Yessssss!!!! I finished Level 1!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your wonderful courses!!!!!!
Hi, you might recognize me! Sorry I have so many questions, I could search it up on Google Translate but it is not so good. Anyway, do you know how to say, “what are you doing?” or “what are you doing now?” It doesn’t matter 🙂 Thanks again!
지금, 나는 뭐 해요? *Although I don’t recommend using 나. It is informal and kind of disrespectful to use in some situations. Instead, replace it with their name plus 씨.
And, I MIGHT be wrong, but do you mean 너 instead of 나?
Thanks, so what is the actual order to say it in formal language?
What are you doing- 보에요( bo-aeyo)
What are you doing now? – 칙므, 보에요?( chi-gem, bo-aeyo)
Sorry, if my korean writing is wrong.
Si..de hecho está equivocado: “보에요” significa “Veo” ya que viene del verbo 보다 que significa ver…
Para preguntar :¿Que estás haciendo? Se diría: “뭐 해요?” Ya que “뭐” es “que” y “해요” es la conjugación en tiempo presente del verbo “하다” que significa hacer…
Espero está breve explicación ayude…👍🏻
파이팅!!
And does anyone know how to say, “It’s ok” like if someone apologizes, you say “It’s ok”. Please tell me! Thanks 🙂
Do have discord? if you do can we be study partners? ㅋㅋㅋ
I have discord, and i would love to be study partners ‘-‘ you can add me meh.vanessa#8522
괜찮아요! Or if you are talking in informal language, just drop the 요.
큰찬나요 ( khin-jhan-nayo)
FIGHTINGGGG-!!
ME TOO FIGHTING

Hi! How do you say, “One second!” or, “One sec!”. Like for example, you are talking to someone and then you need to do something real quick, and say, “one second!”. Can someone tell me how to say that in Korean, please? One sec, or one second, it doesn’t matter because they both mean the same. Thanks!! 🙂
Ca se dit “jam-si-man-yo” ou “jam-kkhan-man-yo”
Jam-kkan-man
잠깐만
In english it means wait or hold on
잠시만요. [jam-si-man-nyo] (literal meaning: “Just a second”)and 잠깐만요. [jam-kkan-man-nyo] (literal meaning: “Just a second” the both are the same…..i hope that is useful for u 😊
Thank you!!
Level 1 lesson 4
I usually say ‘잠깐만’
Also, how do you say, “Yes, please” in Korean? Thanks!
You say “예, 부탁합니다” [ye, bu-tag-hab-ni-da] which just means “Yes, please ” in 존댓말 [Jon-dae-mal] or Formal language. Happy to help!
you know google translate is not always correct and theyre usually on the casual from not thr formal
Thank you!

Hi, can someone tell me how to say, “No, thank you” in Korean? You can just spell it out for me. I know there’s maybe a lesson that said it, but I’m pretty impatient… Thanks!
You would say “No, thank you” as (a-ni-yo, gham-sa-ham-ni-da)
You can say , “ 갠차나 ”
Thank you!

Hey! I have a question, could you help me out, please? I decided to restart my Korean learning using the book for this level. I would like to work on my listening skills. Which course should I start with? Any suggestion? Thank you so much for all your hard work making these wonderful materials!
You can sign out there is an option
Hi, I know this is weird that I’m saying this as a reply, but for some reason, I can’t write something up there. Okay so, can someone tell me how to say, “No, thank you” in Korean? You can just spell it out for me. I know there’s maybe a lesson that said it, but I’m pretty impatient… Thanks!
Kaylie Lam, I think what you mean is “아니요, 괜찮아요”.It means something like “No, thank you, I’m fine” when someone for example offers you something
Hi, again, I can’t write stuff up there. So, may someone tell me how to say, “I hate you”? Lol I know. Why am I even asking for that??? But I just want to say that to my friends as a joke. I’m super weird, right? Okay so please tell how to say it! Thanks! 🙂
And also, how do you say, “Yes, please” in Korean? Thanks again! 🙂
And how do you say, “One second!” or, “One sec!”. Like for example, you are talking to someone and then you need to do something real quick, and say, “one second!”. Can someone tell me how to say that in Korean, please? One sec, or one second, it doesn’t matter because they both mean the same. Thanks!! 🙂
And it’s spelled [a-ni-yo gwaen-cha-na-yo]
Thank you so much!!!
