  1. Ariel Arnold,

    Does anyone have any tips on how to better help me remember vocabulary?

    • Joslin Real,

      memrise is a god. i use the howtostudykorean sets. its extremely rich in vocabulary and is specific.

    • Ava Heredia,

      you should use quizlet !! They have things for each lesson here so you can remember and practice vocab through flashcards and typing etc

    • Ultrasa Player,

      Hello! In your daily life, try to name objects or places in Korean. Like if you are in the bus and that you see a university student say university student, 대학생.
      If you don’t know how to say it at the moment, search “university student “ on your phone’s translator or just write it and search it later.

    • Tifanny Laurencia,

      I used Avocards app in phone to learn many new vocabularies and remember some vocabs that I already know. That helps me a lot..

    • Ariel Arnold,

      Thank you for the suggestion!

    • bobtheawsm,

      Use a SRS program like Anki.

    • Ariel Arnold,

      Thank you!

    • Queen,

      I have Tandem right now and I can assure you, people do talk on there.

    • Angel,

      Yes, after a week I finally meet someone

  3. Anna Shum,

    For Review Quiz for Lesson 16: I don’t understand why answer for question 3 “It’s really fast. = _____ 빨라요” is not “아주” ; and answer for question 8 “어제 길에서 경은 선생님 봤어요.” is not “진짜?”. Please explain. Thanks!

    • Andre _,

      Hi! this is quite a late reply but for the first one – 아주 means quite. And since you want to say “It’s REALLY fast” rather than “It’s QUITE

    • Andre _,

      actually nvm…. if for q3 its jogeum then why does the translation say “its very fast”? I guess i dont have enough context

    • Anna Shum,

      I mean why is the correct answer for question 3 is “조금”, and for question 8 is “조금만?” ? Please help!

    • Kyla,

      This must be really really late to reply back to as I just finished Level 2 and read comments every time I finish a level. But for Lesson 16, question 3 correct answer is jogeum because the question is asking for the WRONG answer, like what would not fit in the sentence, and since jogeum means a little bit, it would not match the phrase “it is really fast”. You had the right idea, but don’t worry I made the same mistake for not reading the question CAREFULLY. Haha.

      As for question 8, same concept, the question is asking what DOES NOT fit the sentence or make sense at all. And since jogeum-man means only a little bit? That response does not fit with the sentence.

      Basically just reading the question! Those questions get me all the time! Don’t worry 🙂

    • Georges Heng,

      Congrats ! Keep learning ! (Also finished level 2)

    • Matin,

      Congratulations!!
      I’m agree with you~

  7. Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

    I am also happy that I am Level 3 in the Level Test after finishing Level 2. The small progress that I make every week motivates me to continue my journey in learning the Korean language.

  8. Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

    Just finished Level 2 🤩 I listened to every lesson many times, listened to all the sample dialogues, and answered all the quizzes before proceeding to Level 3. I will still come back to Level 2 sometimes to review because it is really difficult to remember all the words and all the rules. I also bought an ebook of the workbook to supplement what I just learned. Can’t wait to start Level 3. Thank You TTMIK!

    • Ratih Dwi Zulya,

      Nice!

    Hello! 🙂
    Is there any way to download the PDF files all at ones?

    Thank you in advance 🙂

    • ,

      *once, of course

  10. Ojorayinlumi Kitua-Okochu,

    안녕하세요 선생님! I hope you had a nice weekend. I think that there is a mistake in one of the review questions in lesson 16 of level 2. Number 8 to be exact. The question went along the lines of “I saw 경은 선생님” . I thought the reply would be “진짜?”, but it was “조금만”. Would you mind taking a look at it please? Thank you in advance.

  11. Lydia Godwin,

    Just to confirm, in Korean you say “go through the corner” not go around the corner. Lesson 28.

  12. Xenia,

    The lessons on particles are very well done. However, the fact that “you” is understood to be the subject when the object is marked with the particle might be helpful to explain. This is particularly as it is so different from English.

  13. Joanne Muldoon,

    Yay! 2 단계 끝나요!

  14. ,

    Thanks for yet another amazing level! Anyone interested in practicing Korean, send me a message @spaceboy18

  15. shlomit.l,

    Hi 🙂 I have a question about lesson 18: in the PDF it written 잘 하다 (with space) but in the quiz section it it written 잘하다 without space. Which one is correct? Or maybe both of them are correct?
    대답을 미리 감사합니다 ^^

  18. Jolene,

    Wait, is it just me or I don’t get it at all. XD I mean… I get it when I see it or when I hear it slowly I pick up some words and get it through context but just saying something out of the blue… I get all confused. Maybe too little practice… it’s fun though !

    • Imma cyrhenne Rabino,

      Me too🙁

    • xanetic,

      You should keep reviewing over all lessons! Never move on to the next level without being confident enough about the last one. to help expand your vocab, write, look, or hear more sentences including the vocabs. The key is to practice! You’ll can do this! I believe in you! 🙂

  25. PremiumSkittle,

    I just finished Level 2 about 30 minutes ago and I’m looking for a study partner/group my KakaoTalk ID: 파란 요정 please add me if you are interested in studying with me. One more thing for TTMIK Staff I have a question about the verb: 가다 can you use it for sentences like “GOING to sleep” or “GOING to sit down” (저는 잘 거예여 but instead of 잘 its 잘가 or 가) even though technically you’re not moving. I know this is probably a dumb question but I’m really curious.

    • Jessica Lee,

      Hi PremiumSkittle. I am not staff, but yes, there is a way that you can use 가다 when talking about “going to go to sleep”. It is a more advanced grammar form. You could say “자러가” or “자러가요”. Go to sleep/I’m going to go to sleep) This grammar is formed when you go to do something. For example, you can also say “먹으러가” or “먹으러가요” (Go to eat/Let’s go to eat/I’m going to eat, etc.) So you would drop the 다 and then add 으러가 or 러가 depending on if it ended in a vowel or consonant. TTMIK has a lesson which can be found on Level 10 lesson 2. Hope that helps. Also I am an advanced student and Korean teacher. I love teaching Korean so you can add me to your chat and I can answer questions if you have. I am starting a Korean blog and hope to do Youtube as well so I’d love to get your requests or ideas for what you guys need help with. Feel free to add me. My id is: rmacissej

    • Shruthi,

      Can you guys make a group ? So everyone could join .

    • Alessia Barbu,

      hi, honestly I do not think that 가다 can be used in that situation. As in English, we don’t use the verb “to go” to say “I am going to bed”, but “to be going to”. I think you should give it a search about it because I believe that there should be a specific lesson for that. <3
