This is so helpful, even though I’ve been studying for a year, i’m finishing level 3 but still need a refresher for Level 1 and 2, I still have a long way to go, but this is so handy to have and I love the download of the PDF versions so I can take them on the go and practice when in a car or plane! Thanks so much!!
You are making very good use of this course! ํ๊ตญ์ด ๊ณต๋ถ ํ์ดํ ! ๐

My level test suggested im level 5 so I started everything from level 1 again to refresh and re learn everything again!
Im loving the content so far thank you!!
1 problem im having tho is in the writing part it wont allow me to type in the blank spaces. im not sure if this is an issue on my end or not. Any help or feedback would be good thankyou once again for the worlds greatest korean learning website ๐
Did you try to enter the answers on the computer? You are not supposed to type the answers directly into the computer; instead, you should practice by writing the answers on paper. ๐
Will I need to type in Korean for any of the courses/levels? If so, I don’t know how my English keyboard lines up with Korean characters. Thank you.
Two options:
You can go to Keyboard in your computer’s settings and add a second keyboard – just choose 2-Set Korean. The choice to switch which keyboard you are using will appear as an icon by your clock or where your battery power reading stays. Then keep the “show keyboard viewer” open which is found by clicking that same icon used to switch keyboards. It opens a little cheat sheet in the top corner of your screen. You can google how to do this using your operating system. These were the iOS instructions. It was much easier than I expected. You can also do this on a mobile and the Hangul keyboard appears as an option in the same place you switch to emoticon or ABC keyboards.
Option two is to buy a Hangul Keyboard Skin ($13) or Key Stickers ($6). Keyboard skin is the rubber cover you put over your keys so dust and food don’t get in, but you can buy them with whatever keyboard language you want. I got a set of two with English and Hangul on them for $13 on Amazon. It guides your learning and keeps your keyboard clean. You can take it on and off as you wish as it’s just a cover. Also $6 for key stickers which you put right on your original keys and only $20 to buy replacement keys with both languages on them for a mechanical typewriter.
Also: there are free game programs online for typing practice that teach your fingers where the letters are. This is useful if you are someone who doesn’t look when typing anyway.
I can’t figure out how to fill this out online. So I am doing it offline…
Can you let me know what you are fill out offline? : )
I find this courses super usefull to me, iยดm a native spanish speaker and with your courses i practice my english skills, plus i am learning a new one, korean, THX!!
Thanks for your love. : )
I love having these, they are so helpful!
Thousand thanks for your comment! ํ๊ตญ์ด ๊ณต๋ถ ํ์ดํ !
These speaking and writing courses are very helpful. They help me see how much I learned, while also letting me know what to keep reviewing.
Thank you Cindy for leaving a review comment! Keep it up and we hope we can see you in Level 4!๐ซก
quick question! what is the difference between ์ข์์ (์ค๋ ๋ ์จ๊ฐ ์ข์์) and ์ข์ํด์ (์ปคํผ ์ข์ํด์) ?
์ข์์ (์ข๋ค in dictionary form) can be translated as something being good, while ์ข์ํด์ (์ข์ํ๋ค in dictionary form) means “to like something”. Hope this helps ๐
I didn’t have a difficult time learning Level One or Level Two. I first learned Korean from Pimsleur and then started this program so it was a lot of help. I will say that Level 3 is difficult. The conjugations and rules are driving me nuts, but I’m still pushing. After the lessons I also go on Youtube and learn from another source. It all helps. I’m now on lesson 15 on Level 3.
When I saw this comment I couldnโt agree more. I breezed through level one and two. But three is quite challenging and Iโm also using YouTube for supplemental lessons.
Great job, Ashley! It’s awesome to see your dedication in learning Korean. Level 3 might be challenging, but your determination to push through and supplement your learning with other videos from YouTube is a smart approach. Keep up the hard work! ๐ช๐ฐ๐ท
It’s a very helpful course for review of Level 1 lessons and to see how much you have retained. I was so pleasantly surprised that I actually was able to remember quite a bit. I’m glad you are offering these courses now to help retain and test what was learned!
Weโre delighted to hear that you found the course helpful for reviewing Level 1 lessons and testing your retention! Keep up the good work!๐ช
I love the speaking test!!! It proved to me just how much I actually know! I wish there was a way to write in my answers for the writing practice.. For now I will have to jot down in a notebook and then check my answers. ๐
Thank you for your comment! You can easily access the PDF files by clicking on the PDF button located at the bottom right of each writing lesson. Feel free to print them out for your writing practice!โ๏ธ
This course was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, Tiffany!๐
I thought for the writing section I would be able to actually *write* my answers, how am I supposed to know if I typed it correctly if there is no place for me to type?
I would prefer not having to have a notes app open or something to compare answers. Any thoughts about adding in this feature? Otherwise I think it’s a good addition to the grammar lessons!
The answers are given at the end, so you can compare your answers to correct them if needed.
I love the speak and write courses! It makes me feel so accomplished to be able to translate these phrases right away, and I’ve noticed that since I started listening to the speaking exercises, I can recognize more Korean phrases in K-dramas than I was able to before.
Thatโs fantastic, Katie! Itโs great to hear that the speak and write courses are helping you feel accomplished and improving your recognition of Korean phrases in K-dramas. Keep up the great work! ๐๐
These are great to help test what Iโve learned, so helpful!
I agree. So helpful for pronunciation, too.
Yay๐ Let’s keep going up to Level 10๐ช
This is the practical application of Level 1 and reinforcement for beginners like me to solidify a bit of the Korean language.
Thank you for the comment! We appreciate it!๐
This is what I asked for two or three years ago now, so I’m very glad to see it ๐
That means you’ve been studying Korean with us at least over 2-3 years! Thank you so much!๐ฅฐ
The speaking portion was incredibly helpful review for me. For the writing portion, I wish I could type my answers into the boxes and be notified if I am misspelling anything because I have trouble catching those errors myself. I am skipping the writing portion.
If you scroll down further it will tell you the answers for the writing portion. If you want to know if you got it incorrect immediately just scroll down all the way to the answer portion and hide the answer until you write it out to confirm if you are correct.
๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค! More basic speaking practice is definitely what I need.
And my spelling is terrible, even in English, so writing practice is also super helpful.
๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค! We hope that this course will significantly enhance your Korean speaking skills. Keep up the good work!๐
This is very helpful, thank you! A great addition to the course, along with the new structure that guides us through the curriculum.
p.s. I just have one small correction, I think. In writing lessons 10-17, question 23: should it be “I ate” instead of “I eat”?
Thank you for pointing that out! We’ve fixed the typo๐
๋๋ฌด ์ข์ํด์! It’s beary helpful, and well chosen sentences to get a better understanding of what has been taught in the course ๐ป๐ค๐ maybe one day, I will be able to fully understand and learn the usage of the topic particle… ๐ค๐คญ๐ซ
๊ณ ๋ง์์, ์ ํค! The sentences are carefully chosen to reinforce your understanding of the content. Learning how to use topic particles can be challenging, but with dedication and continued practice, you’ll surely make progress. Keep up the great work! ๐ฅ
These Speak & Write courses are EXACTLY what I needed. I’ve started going through them to review and solidify the levels I’ve already completed. Fantastic addition to the Core Grammar courses!
Thank you so much! We’re so excited to hear that the Speak & Write courses are meeting your needs perfectly!๐๐
This is so good, and is really going to help me and its nice to see what I have been able to memorise as well. I need all the help I can get lol. ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค
We’re happy that you find the course helpful! Thank you for your positive feedback! ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค ๐
Thank you, this is very helpful!
Thank you, Daniela! Keep up the great work in your Korean practice!๐ช
Wow this is very very helpful for reviewing what we have learned. And I found out that I lack very much in writing skills…need to practice a lot with spellings.
Thank you for your comment, Dickey! Writing skills and spellings can definitely improve with practice, so keep at it!๐
