Hi! This is Yeji Kim from Talk To Me In Korean. Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad that you are satisfied with our shipping service. I hope you like the books, too!
These books are hands down the best books for beginners! Everything is explained in detail, but in a way that is very easy to comprehend. Extensive audio files that you can download also come in very handy.
The shipping process was very quick and the books ended up arriving a week earlier than they should in excelent condition.
I couldn’t recommend TTMIK more and will definitely purchase again! ❤

I’m excited to use my new books, but none of the audio clips are available for me. I don’t know if it’s because I bought the package or not, but it says that I need to buy the book first when I already have.

Nice! I got my bundle and I’m so excited. It can be frustrating learning a new language – especially one without letters like in English. Hangeul is a completely new and challenging system but even shortly into the Hangeul book, my intense impatience is being tempered by well written material. I’m seeing progress I wasn’t expecting!
I take 15 minutes on Hangeul then 15 with the level 1 book, trading back and forth to get some spoken and written in equally. I haven’t done anything with the workbook, as I am using the reviews in the other two books right now.
Using these and the TTMIK website and downloads is giving me faith that I can do this – even with my impatient mannerisms (I’m very instant gratification oriented, ugh!).
Thank you for your hard work, TTMIK crew!!
