Product Details
Avoid these common mistakes and have more confidence!
Making mistakes is a natural part of learning a new language, but knowing which mistakes are commonly made by other learners and how to fix them can save you a lot of time and trouble. This book, which we made in collaboration with Billy from the famous Youtube channel, GO! Billy Korean, will help you learn about the 100 most common mistakes you can avoid when speaking Korean. All Korean learners can benefit from this book as it deals with mistakes made by Korean learners regardless of their level.
Billy’s channel broadly covers topics about Korea from the culture, food, tourist destinations to even Korean dialects. Working on this book with Billy, who is also a Korean learner himself, we were able to better pinpoint what Korean learners struggle with when using Korean.
In addition to introducing common mistakes and why they need to be avoided, we also give you in-depth explanations about how to say the same thing more naturally, along with sample sentences.
You can also listen to native speakers’ pronunciation for each of the sample sentences presented throughout the book. All the sentences are recorded at two different speeds (normal and slow).
We also have a video course!
Common Mistakes Korean Learners Make (And How To Fix Them) with Go! Billy Korean
Do you prefer taking a video course to studying with a book? We also have a video course where Billy explains 50 common Korean mistakes and how to talk more like a native by fixing them. You can also hear native speakers’ pronunciations for each of the sample phrases and words introduced throughout the video course.

This book is a fun way to enjoy slipping on the mistake banana peels of language learning and not feel ashamed because of it.
A book that I used between levels 6 and 7. An interesting presentation of content, and a good variety of learning strategies that differs form the usual course content. As always, the same level of educational content you’d expect from the TTMIK team.
Very handy book (and there’s a course on the web site that goes along with this). It’s good to know what mistakes are common so you can learn to avoid those mistakes.
I’ve really enjoyed learning from all of the standard grammar textbooks from TTMIK, but this book in particular has been a great help to me. I find that reading it just contextualizes and explains so many of the differences between English and Korean in a way that I can remember. 감사합니다!
We appreciate your review! We are so glad that you like the books🙂
감사합니다!
