Hello, everyone. My name is Kyeong-eun Choi. Everyone, I am happy to meet you. I am one of the hosts for this podcast and I am involved in making the contents of the courses here. I hope I can help you out to enjoy learning korean with me! If you have felt that learning Korean was too difficult before, now let’s start studying together!

경은씨 안녕하세요! I’m Marcos From Brasil! I’m in Korean level 2
& I’m really enjoying ~ hehe.
Tanks 4 the lessons! I wish much success 2 all of you in TTMIK.
A great 2013 to U’rs, Fighting!! Sorry,sorry! My English is not very good ^^
excuse me but I would like to ask if you teach for free or not? I look forward to get your answer
The lessons are completely free. But buying books does cost money.

hehe. I’m a beginner but i’m in level 2 lesson 17 now. There are such things that I couldn’t understand.. Can you combine phrases without using conjunctions? when I watch K dramas I usually encounter the characters just bend in sentences, I don’t hear any geurigo or hago.. and when I combine sentences myself and don’t use conjunctions , I then feel i’m wrong when there is -yo in the middle. I don’t know how to say.. ” Ineed to do this” in korean, and sentences like.. You need to eat, you need to do your haldang” and etc.
Hello. I have a question about 이에요 and 예요. Is seems like all the examples you give are nouns, so I would like to know, 이에요 and 예요 also applicable for use on adjectives? Thanks.
Example: It’s pretty, tall, warm, etc..
최경은,
I was wondering if there is a list of the top 100 Korean words? I’d like to work on my vocabulary by learning several of the words TTMIK has added into the lessons, but want to focus on a strong 100 words.
Any help or reference would be appreciated!
경은누나.
레슨에서 오래동안 뭇 봐셨어요.어디 가셨어요!
콍은초이 안녱하네요 (hope I managed to spell your name right). Firstly I do enjoy the TTMIK lessons and am often amused by the interactions between the tutors (the intent of course). I am by nature highly pedantic, therefore, I am very critical when listening to lessons / tutorials / lectures etc. and have a hard time keeping quite about anything I notice.
Please DO NOT take this as criticism of either yourselves or TTMK as I only have the highest opinion of both you and the progam offered.
I have been studying the TTMIK ciriculum for about 2 weeks and have focused only on the first 12 lessons; going over them many times; to ensure I have not missed anything (so far I have achieved a good understanding of the structure to date ,but the memory doesn’t work so well as you get older so it’s taking me a little extra time to memorize the words / definitions) and one thing that stands out, is, your explanation of the usage of the words: 네 and 아니요. I agree in English the correct usage can be very tricky. Many times they operate in way explained in the lesson, but also, often the words have the same context as explained for Korean. In English, there are often redundant words included in statements. i.e. as in lesson 2, the question used: “You don’t like coffee?”, the word “don’t’ has no effect on either the meaning of the question nor the correct response and is therefore redundant in that it merely changes the question to a negative form. If the question were to be phrased “You like coffee?”, or even, “Like coffee?” both of which are essentially semantically identical with the same purpose and meaning; to determine the respondents liking of coffee, the single response: “No, I don’t like coffee.” applies. (Some subject and topic marking particles would be rather handy to help define the statements.) I should really explain in greater detail, however, if this has already been mentioned to you, it would be a waste of time, whereas, if you would like further discussion on the issue I would be happy to oblige you.
There are several other areas that could require some clarification like apparent discrepancies between the Hangul and romanized spellings (the possible clarification to determine if the texts are at fault and therefore, which is correct; or just as likely, if not more so, that the discrepancy is purely in my interpretation), but I won’t concern you with that at the moment, as I wouldn’t like to have you think “How do we get rid of this old clot?” after just the first contact (but you might anyway lol).
감사 함니다

Dear Teacher Kyeong Eun…
I just wanted to thank you
I new start to learn Korean language.
Dear Kyeong-eun Choi (최경은)
Learn Korean by listening is very comfortable and I have finished 1/9, it is little bit harder to make familiar vocabulary. But when I learn by listening your sound with teacher Hyunwoo Sun not Yoona-sun — sorry, I made a mistake in last comment– many phrases of Korean more familiar. I hope I can do mastering in Korean…
Thank you, and GBU.
Dear Seonsaengnim,
I really don’t understand the Korean language but I want to learn it, sometimes I learned from a Korean movie or drama, but still i was confused because they sometimes use almost the same words but with different meanings.
감사합니다 ^^
Miss Kyeong-eun you’re sooooooooooooooooooooo pretty!! ^_____________^V hihihi ^^
Dear Kyeong-Eun,
I had been learning Hanguel up to level 4. I could not continue on to Level 5 because the shockwave has crashed. All the audio for the other levels are working except for Level 5. Can something be done about it, please?
Thank you.

annyeonghaseyo seongsaengnim!
Just like you to know that your podcast are really really helpful to me. I don’t really have much solid time to actually sit down to focus and learn korean due to my work but i still try to at least listen to the lessons whenever i have free time. Thanks a lot for your time and effort!
Kamsahamnida!
What’s up everybody, here every person is sharing such knowledge, thus it’s good

Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on
everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress
or go for a paid option? There are so many
options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Bless you!
