If you truly want to begin your journey into Korean and Hangul this is the perfect place to begin. Easy and concise lessons with audio support in the app and downloadable through the website. If you are wanting to learn this beautiful language, please start here. You will not be sorry and love your Korean language journey.
Exactly. Korean is a beautiful language. Keep up the good work in studying Korean in the future! 😄
I loved this bundle, when I bought it I didn’t think I would fall in love with Korean the way I did
I’ve always dabbled in languages and I thought I would just try out Korean in preparations for a trip to Korea
but now 2 years later I can say that this was the best start I could have imagined:
Hangul Master was perfect for really cementing Hangul and the sounds in my head
and TTMIK1 was great for getting started, the grammar is made easy to understand, I am aware that many other sources really spend time on all the details and nuances of specific grammar structures, but exactly this is why I lose interest or I feel that what I’m learning isn’t “use-able”
This is where TTMIK1 is different! It takes it down to a very basic level yes, but when you are a beginner … basic is best! Getting started on actually using the languages with some vocab drizzled in is perfect for beginners so that you can use the things you learn.
Thank you so much for your review! Your words mean the world to us. We are so glad you like the books! 🥰
This bundle was a great way for me to kick start my Korean learning journey. They all compliment each other with robust basics which I regularly come back to to remind myself of how far I have come
These books were so helpful and taught me so many amazing things. Can’t wait to order more TTMIK books, saving up to purchase levels 2 – 5!!
Love this book! Finished Hangeul Master a while ago and now I’m nearly finished level 1.
These books helped me learn so much, the Hangeul Master taught be the basics of Hangeul and even how to be able to read Korean handwriting and create my own style. The levels books have given me so much information about important words, phrases and grammar. I love it.
I started with this book over 2 years ago. This helped me build a solid foundation in Korean. I love how TTMIK organized their lessons and I never once found it to be overwhelming.
These were the first Korean books I bought, and I instantly loved the cohesive designs. Usually textbooks tend to cram as much information as possible into one page, and this can get overwhelming. I enjoyed how the information was spread across the book. It made the task of learning a language feel much more simple, as the lessons move at a comfortable pace. 10/10 recommend as a starting point when learning the Korean language!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment🙂 We will do our best to make more high-quality materials!
In my opinion the best starting point to learn Korean. The hangeul guide is really clear and is something I keep close to me to peek into again on multiple occasions.
We are so glad that you like the books!!
I bought this package this fall and it was an incredible resource for me to kickstart my Korean-learning journey! The Hangeul Master book is well laid-out and the accompanying audio helped with my pronunciations. The Level 1 book and workbook were both fantastic in layout and how they simply explain the topics of each chapter. I look forward to continuing to learn with TTMIK!!!
Thank you for using our books and audio app! Let’s continue the Korean-learning journey together with TTMIK! 😆
This is an extremely useful package for beginner learners. Through these books, you will learn how to read, write and pronounce the Korean alphabet and learn some common grammar patterns and expressions. The books are easy to use with clear explanations and lots of sample words and sentences. I can recommend this book package to anyone who wants to start learning Korean from scratch!
Thank you for your comment! Hope you continue to enjoy studying Korean with our resources!! ☺️
These books are great, I started the Hangeul Master Book a few days ago and it’s all been well. Although so far 가 has only been taught with “G” and not the “K” sound unlike with the audio. Although I picked up how to use it the next few consonants. The books came smaller then I expected, as well as smaller then I’ve seen with other people. Although I still enjoy and can learn from them with ease.
I’ve been studying more and more, and it’s safe to say the Hangeul Master is an amazing book. I like to look throughout the book before I fully read it and everything is explained super well. The book includes some amazing examples, and I like listening to the audio’s throughout my day to get a proper understanding of how to pronounce each Korean vowel and consonant. Other it can take a few tries of reading I always end up understanding the explanations, even with my slow brain. So far I’ve only scratched the surface of what I hope to uncover with this book, and I can’t wait to move onto more complex Hangeul and when it comes time to practice and create my own style of Korean handwriting. Every time I look at the books, not just Hangeul Master, my love for TTMIK grows as well as their books. In the future I hope to reach level 10 and study with all of their other books. And apologies for my some-what mean original review, the more I read into the books (Mainly Hangeul Master so far.) the more I regret that review. Since looking at it I realise they were only small from the books I’ve been using for school, and they are actually bigger then I would imagine them to be. As well as ㄱ being better taught throughout the book with ㅋ. Thank you TTMIK for putting the time, effort, strength, and love into teaching people how to read, write and speak Korean. 감사합니다!! And thank you to everyone who put effort in drawing, writing, design, managing and publishing such magnificent books. And although only studying Hangeul Master so far, I already know that the level 1 workbook and textbook will be equally or even greater then the Hangeul Master book.
I just finished all books in this package 😀
They arrived very quickly and without any damage. I loved studying with them, they are very pretty and it’s obvious that a lot of work went into designing them. They implement proven and effective methods of learning, like forcing you to use verbs or phrases that you learned earlier but in new situations, which makes new things stay in your memory for much longer. TTMIK team has done a fantastic job with making learning process organised, efficient but not tedious 😊. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase 🙂
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! It is delightful to hear such positive words🙂 Hope you continue to enjoy learning with us!
Thank you so much TTMIK! I’m currently making a website on My Korean Learning Journey (for a school project) and I really owe it all to you! (Are there any workbooks for Levels 6, 7, 8 ,9 and 10?) Again, thank you guys so much. I’m definitely going to include you guys in my website so more people can start learning with you guys!
Have a great day (or night :))

Thank you so much for your review! Hope you continue to enjoy studying Korean with us 🙂
My books arrived safely, without any scratches, and I’m super happy. I just started learning korean and the Hangeul Master book is easy to understand and I love that it comes with downloadable files so you know how to pronounce the vowels and consonants. Thank you!! Looking forward to learning more!!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! 🙂 Hope you continue to enjoy learning Korean with us.
Even with the covid pandemia the shipping was very fast. Those books are perfect to start learning korean, whatever your reasons are for. I am halfway of level 1 but I can already feel the progress ! The package is perfect to begin and the « Hangeul Master » book is very useful even when you can already read most of korean words. I recomend this bundle
감사합니다 ! ^^
the best bundle EVER to get started in korean!!! the hangeul master made me able to read in less than a week! (they arrived in exactly 3 days from korea to mexico, greaaaaaaat service!!) <3
We’re so happy for you 🙂 Hope you enjoy learning Korean with us !
Finished learning this pack, I’m now moving on to Level 2!! I love learning with TTMK, so easy to understand and it personally caters to how I learn. So grateful. Thank you and keep it up!!
Congratulations 🙂 Keep up the good work !
I went with the standard shipping and it arrived in less time than approximated (Im in Australia). So already a PLUS. This Beginners Package is my very first purshase in starting my journey to learn Korean. And I am loving them. I found the Hangeul book easy to follow in learnng how to read and write Hangeul. I struggle a little with the sounds but I think that’s becuase of my native language being Australian English but watching Youtube videos along with the book really helps. And I find it really useful to be able to listen to the free podcasts on the website while looking at and reading the textbook and then practising further with the workbook. I am so glad I took the chance and bought this Beginners Package and even though I am only just over halfway through the textbook I am already ordering the Level 2 Textbook & Workbook.
Soo so eager to learn with you
We appreciate your kind review! 🙂
Hope you enjoy all of the other books!
Can’t wait to get the books 😭😭
Can’t wait to study with you~ 😆
The best book ever!! ?
