    Hi Hyunwoo and Cassie,
    I have aㅜㅐ솓ㄱ question : why, in lesson 33, we say 이게 제일 맛있어요 et pas 이것 제일 맛있어요 ? Is 게 a shortened version of 것 ?
    Thank you !
    I was wondering : Do you reply to these questions ? And if so, how much time does it generally take you ? Thank you !

      OK thank you !

  5. Marielle Hommeril,

    Hello Hyunwoo and Cassie, and everyone at TTMIK ! This is my first post, hope I will have it right. I was wondering : in lesson 9, the dialogue, what’s the difference between 한국어 배우는 거예요 and 한국어 배우예요, which I would have written at first impulse ? But I’m a beginner of course. Thank you for your response !

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Hi, Marielle!
      한국어 배우는 거예요 = I am learning Korean.
      This sentence would sound appropriate if someone asks, “What are you doing?”
      한국어 배우예요=I am a Korean language actor. —>This sentence is incomplete/wrong.
      If you want to say “I learn Korean,” you can say 한국어 배워요. 😊 This sentence is a statement that you learn Korean.

    • Marielle Hommeril,

      Thank you very much. Nuances nuances …

  7. Michael Fine,

    Great course. Would it be possible to list all the vocabulary words used in the lessons? So many good words.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      We will consider your suggestion. 😊 Thank you!

  8. Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

    This course is very helpful and very easy to finish 🙂 Can’t wait to learn more in the second part.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thank you for your comment. 🙂 Enjoy studying Korean with us.

  9. Hoang Ng,

    Wonderful course, this is what I’m looking for. This course helps you to build your own sentence, also provides a large amount of vocabulary. Great explaination from the teachers!
    There is also a book version of this course (with audio) for you to explore more. Highly recommended
    The only thing I dont like is that there is no review lessons for this course as they do in “Level 1 to 10” courses. You need to re-hear 100 types of sentences again 😛

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thank you for your recommendation! Keep up the great work. 🙂

  10. Chris Maris,

    Real-Life Korean Conversations for Beginners
    Must-Know Words In Korean
    And this one, are from the top courses for beginners and i think not only.
    PS. Give an Oscar to teacher Seokjin Jin! (Must-Know Words In Korean lesson 3, 00:45) Everyone must see that!!!

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

    I can already tell this will be a fun learning experience in how to use short phrases. I don’t even have to complete the lesson to provide feedback at the end. I can do it now! Nice! Nice! Nice!

  14. Randa Allam,

    a quick way to learn new vocab and grammar, and review what I’ve learned already… I’ve enjoyed each lesson.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thanks for your feedback 🙂 Keep up the good work! ^^

  15. Bridget,

    This course is great for learning or reviewing basic Korean that will really help improve your Korean comprehension; I really like that the audio for each lesson is only a few minutes long, because the bite-sized lessons are digestible and easy to go back to and review. This is a great starting course that I will continue to reference.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      감사합니다 🙂 한국어 공부 화이팅!

    Thank you so much for making this into an online course! I was hesitant to buy the physical book since I know much of these patterns, but still wanted the opportunity to brush up on them.
