Product Details
As a beginner, Korean sentences might look like random combinations of words and phrases. But that is not true! Once you find the patterns hidden in sentences, learning Korean becomes much easier and even more fun.
This book includes 100 common sentence patterns that are essential for beginners and each pattern is accompanied by 11 example sentences.
What do we mean by “patterns“?
“Patterns” in this book refer to set phrases and common groups of words that often go together in Korean. By studying sentence patterns, you can form your own Korean sentences more confidently and naturally!
Here are 5 tips about how to make the most of the book!
- Practice speaking the sentences repeatedly so that you can get familiar with each sentence pattern.
- Sentences written in Korean are arranged on the left side of a page and those in English are on the right side. We recommend you cover one of the two sides with a piece of paper or your hand and test your understanding!
- Study words with the index.
- In the index, you can find all the vocabulary words used! In fact, this book is also very useful to study words and practice making sentences with them.
- Use the QR codes!
There is a QR code for each pattern with which you can check the native speaker’s pronunciation easily. You can of course download all the audio files at talktomeinkorean.com/audio. - The dorky 11th example sentence
Every 11th example sentence is a bonus one which will (hopefully) make you grin while studying. Look at the cute illustration attached to the 11th sentence! How could you not smile?

Speaking Package (Beginner)
Original price was: $46.98.$44.63Current price is: $44.63.
Learn the most common 100 Korean sentence structures and how to use them in real-life situations!
I’ve gotten about a 3rd into the book, but I had to stop as I could feel a major change in my understanding with structures I knew/understood and structures I didn’t
I intend to continue on with it when I’ve gotten further in the grammar books, as it has been great for practice and helped me better understand the nuances in the grammar I’ve already learnt.
This book is so good. Really, I am not even a native English speaker, but I majored in English Studies, including linguistics, so I very particular about my language book choices, but this, trust me, is a book I would 1000% recommend!
This book is the perfect choice for anyone who loves learning while having fun! I personally love the illustrations, this book is my favorite! 정말 재미있어요! TTMIK팀 감사합니다!
It is a really wonderful book that helps you learn new vocabulary with sentences that will help you better understand the language, which is why I think it is one of the best books to learn Korean.
A must-have to own! I really enjoyed this style of learning because it puts together vocabulary with a sentence structure, with each sentence getting progressively longer. This was really helpful for me as someone who needed help putting it all together.
This book is a gem for beginning learners and a wonderful review/refresh for intermediate to advanced learners! The format is simple and easy to follow. Pronunciations are clear and the plus is learning some additonal new vocabulary while learning/refresing on the common verb endings/Subj. + Verb structures. Each section is quick so you can review, review, review and review in a short amount of time. I take this book to work and do two or three sections over lunch. This book pairs well with the Essential learning books if you want to supplement with more in depth examples and of course, the great dialog of the lesson! The book is small and light, so easy to tote around and work through, even if you have just five or 10 minutes. I actually recommend this to people just starting out – use it as a companion to the Essential Learning lessons.
Ciao ! I’m Italian, I’m passionate about the Korean language and culture but I have not found manuals in my language clear enough to learn Korean. This newly arrived book is absolutely fantastic, clear, and the QR code is great for pronunciation! a perfect purchase to implement the lessons I listen to on spotify! thanks to the very good teachers who are also nice and make me have fun!
감사합니다 grazie !
We are pleased to hear that you find this book helpful! Hope you continue to enjoy studying Korean with us! 감사합니다🙂
I lived in Kuwait, and hard to find the Korean book. I bought the ebook but I feel paperback more satisfied.
Then I order this book, and Yesss I received today and I really loved it. And will help me a lot to improve my Korean learning Journey. I am ordering another book.
Thank you TTMIK. 감사합니다

Perfect. A must have book for everyone. The book was published in 2020 so the content is modern and up to date, I love it. Funny illustrations will make your learning time more enjoyable
Glad to hear that you enjoy studying with this book🙂 Hope you continue to enjoy learning with us!
I like this book. It is easy and to the point. I like that it has quite a few examples and the audio is great as well.
Many thanks🙂
Love the book! There, however, seems to be a mistake on the audio downloads. Track 28 seems to be missing And track 100 was in its place between track 27 and 29. Track 100 was not duplicated though and the downloadable tracks end at 99 except for this strange zip folder I’m currently downloading to see what’s in it. At first I thought they were just a little bit out of order but it only has 99 tracks.
Ah never mind. I discovered that the zip file at the end contains all the tracks also including track 28. 👍🏾
Glad that you have found the file. 🙂 Hope you enjoy learning Korean with the books!
Hi! I’m learnig by myself Korean too! I’m bi-lingual (?!) in german, my mother german, my father brazilian! Then during school, english, french and I married a mexican! And lived 20 years in Mexico!!!! I chosed Korean because it was absolutly unknowed, and am so astonished, admiring, the culture, the music, and the language!!!!
Thank you for sharing your story 🙂 We’re so happy that you started learning Korean with us ! 한국어 공부 화이팅~!
Wooow. I love this book deeply.
Thank you very much for publishing it!
First of all, the Quick Guide to Hangeul at the outset is so useful, explains everyhing really well about hangeul characters. I also like the feature, that each sentence are numbered, because I can easily memorize the sentences by attaching numbers to them.
I am already really eager to see Volume 2 of this book, with more sentences, also perhaps “Intermediate” version.
Keep up the excellent work you are doing! You really make Korean learning an enjoyable experience! 🙂
@joslyn robidoux , no there’s no transliteration (if that what you mean), just a quick review of Hangeul first BUT you can listen to the audio, all the sentences written are pronounced by both a male and a female voice.
Thank you for your kind comment! 🙂
Are there pronunciations in the book ?
Yes, in Hangeul!
