안녕하세요.
저의 외국인펜팔 친구가 이 사이트를 소개해 주어서 이렇게 방문하게 되었는데요.
정말 좋네요^^
우와 멋집니다. 외국인들은 위한 이렇게 멋진 사이트가 있다니 정말 멋지네요.
강력히 추천하였습니다. 선생님들 영어 실력과 아이디어도 출중하시고요^^
저는 외국인전용사이트라고 하면 답답하고 뭔가 틀에박히고 유행에 뒤떨어지는 레이아웃을 가졌다고만 생각했는데, 이 사이트를 방문하고 나서 생각이 바뀌었어요.
숨은 능력자가 계시는듯합니다^^
포토샵, 일러스트, 프리미어쓰시나요? 아주 좋네요^^
앞으로도 화이팅 하세요^^
I proud of you.
Thanks to your incredible teaching i have learnt all of level one in a day!
For about 4 years ive been learning japanese and only now i am coming to terms with the structures. However i know my studying of japanese sentence structure has helped me alot i never would have learnt all this in one go without your help! Now i may be able to understand some of the conversations between my jap class (everyone is korean but me, including the teacher lol).
I plan to go to japan next year to go to an intensive japanese language school but after that i would love to come to korea and meet you guys!!! maybe you guys might be interested in offering homestay opportunities? ;D i would love to be taught by you in person! ^_^
How do I say ” I DO” in korean?
Kim Woo-sshi,
Aniong!
If you mean “Yes” it would be “Neh/Deh”, which means “I agree”. It is covered in their Level1 lessons, so if you want a better explanaition, go there.
I’d like to have a website like yours to teach Brazilian Portuguese but there aren’t many people interested in learning Portuguese I guess. :/ Maybe after the 2014 Fifa World Cup, there will be, I hope so! Sometimes it’s hard to believe that all the material you provide us with is totally free. It’s such a well done material! You guys have done an amazing job! :) I just wish I had more spare time to take advantage from your lessons. I’d love to live in Korea some day! ^^
I guess there are still some people who would like to learn your language
Hello , everyone I just want to thank you for the awesome work you been doing with these videos , you´re all fabulous teachers !!! By the way , it would be possible if you could please tell me what would be my Korean name !! My name is Eduardo Vazquez , I´m from Monterrey Mexico!! Thanks I really appreciate it !!!
I really love this site, kamsah hamida ^^
안녕하세요,
This site has helped me so much. 감사합니다.
I already know a few words and the alphabet.
But do you know how you write my name in Korean ?
My name is Reinhilde.
greetings from Belgium <3
(I’m very sorry but the computer that I am using right now does not support Hangeul characters and I really need help with some of the confirmations…
Please check my sentences below, (I did not omit any particles for study purposes, please check if they are OK)
ExA. That is not a cat. >> Jeo-geu-neun ko-yang-i a-ni-e-yo.
ExB. Taeyeon has friends. >> Tae-yeon-ssi-neun chin-gu-ga i-sseo-yo.
ExC. Oscar watches the Girls’ Generation. >> O-seu-ka-ssi-neun so-nyeo-si-dae-reul bwa-yo.
ExD. Oscar waited for Taeyeon everyday. >> O-seu-ka-ssi-ga mae-il Tae-yeon-ssi-reul ki-da-ryeo-sseo-yo.
ExE. Girls’ Generation came from Korea. >> So-nyeo-si-dae-neun Han-guk-e-seo wa-sseo-yo.
ExF. Tiffany studies at the library. >> Ti-pa-ni-neun to-seo-gwan-e-seo kong-bu-hae-yo.
ExG: Taeyeon did not remember the song. >> Tae-yeon-ssi-neun no-rae-reul ki-eok an hae-sseo-yo. / Tae-yeon-ssi-neun no-rae-reul ki-eok ha-ji a-na-sseo-yo.
I know particles in Korean would be omitted if the elements are already clear within the sentence. It would really help me a lot if my sentences would be checked.
I am really looking forward for a response.
Thank you so much.
=============================================================
I have this question regarding the language itself, is Korean grammar the same with the Japanese grammar? I have noticed many similarities….
ExA. That is not a cat. >> Jeo-geu-neun ko-yang-i a-ni-e-yo.
>저것은 고양이가 아니에요.
ExB. Taeyeon has friends. >> Tae-yeon-ssi-neun chin-gu-ga i-sseo-yo.
>태연 씨는 친구가 있어요.
ExC. Oscar watches the Girls’ Generation. >> O-seu-ka-ssi-neun so-nyeo-si-dae-reul bwa-yo.
>오스카 씨는 소녀시대를 봐요.
ExD. Oscar waited for Taeyeon everyday. >> O-seu-ka-ssi-ga mae-il Tae-yeon-ssi-reul ki-da-ryeo-sseo-yo.
>오스카 씨는 매일 태연 씨를 기다려요.
ExE. Girls’ Generation came from Korea. >> So-nyeo-si-dae-neun Han-guk-e-seo wa-sseo-yo.
>소녀시대는 한국에서 왔어요.
ExF. Tiffany studies at the library. >> Ti-pa-ni-neun to-seo-gwan-e-seo kong-bu-hae-yo.
>티파니는 도서관에서 공부해요.
ExG: Taeyeon did not remember the song. >> Tae-yeon-ssi-neun no-rae-reul ki-eok an hae-sseo-yo. / Tae-yeon-ssi-neun no-rae-reul ki-eok ha-ji a-na-sseo-yo.
>태연 씨는 노래를 기억 못 했어요.
anneyoghaseyo! :)
I’m Anna, I come from Poland, and I’m 18 years old. I would like to thank you for providing such usefull website like this. It is hard to believe that it’s all for free. Besides my native language – Polish, I speak English, and I’m studying French, German, and I decided to learn Korean, because I’m really fond of it, and I love studying languages :) I hope that I will have enough time to learn Korean, and someday I will be able to speak it fluently :) Wish me luck :P I really admire all of you guys :) Please keep it up :)
Gamsahamnida :)
Sorry if it is not the right place to ask this question I didn’t know where to ask it.
I was wondering if in spoken Korean 에게 is used instead of 에게서?
Like for example is this sentence correct. 이 걸 친구에게 받았어요.
“에게” can mean “to” and “from” but “에게서” also can mean “from”.
thank you sooo much for this perfect site I always realy wanted to learn korean and now I can . I realy love this site !!!!!!!
Kamsahamnida ! :D
Thanks to you guys i was able to communicate with a visiting korean sister school yesterday. I also spoke with their principal who was so impressed that i was self taught told me about this thing i could apply for. If i get it im looking at a possible trip to korea!! and this is all thanks to 2 months of study with you site! Thankyou TTMIK crew!! <3
안영하세요. 이 웹사이트를 만들 주셨어서 정말 고마워요. 아직 한국어를 잘 못 하는데, 이제부터 열심히 공부 할거예요. 만나서 반가워요!
선생님들, teach us -지 그래요. I heard it in dramas but i just can’t understand. 정말로 감사합니다.
Let me make some examples below:
이 음식 먹지 그래요. Why don’t you have this food?
이번 여행은 말레이시아에 가지 그래요. Why don’t you go to Malaysia for this trip?
We use “-지 그래요” when we recommend something to listener. I would say it is similar to “why don’t you….”.
How does the sentences sound? Are they having as well in question form?
선생님들 can i ask you favor ^^ can you when you make examples in lessons try to put some old grammer points cuz there are many mnay grammar points :)
선생님들, 안녕하세요!!!
I am going to attend TOPIK Elementary test from Malaysia.
But I am not confident.
Could you please give me some advise?
Actually, I am quite confuse.
When I am writing an essay, should I use -다 / -요 for the ending?
For example, 오늘 너무 춥다. / 오늘 너무 추워요.
춥다 is the dictionary form which means “to be cold” in Korean. When it is conjugated to present tense, it becomes “추워요”.
I hope you to check this lesson: http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/lessons/l1l16/
What are the usages of -대로? 좀 얘기해주고 설명해주세요.. 진짜 감사합니다. ^_^
Hello teachers! I would like to ask if you have lessons regarding adverbs? im quite curious how pareuda(to be fast) becomes palli and how does it works with other verbs.. and also i would like to know what is the meaning of the verb ending “-nayo”? Kamsahamnida songsaengnim!
I recently came across an AMAZING method of learning languages called “Where Are Your Keys?”. Before this week, I knew a bunch of individual Korean words but could not make sentences. By using this new method, I was able to sit down with a Korean girl and pull language out of her. We spoke only in Korean for 5 hours and always in full sentences. We never translate anything, we only speak and do sign language. I also used this method last night to learn some Thai (which I had never even heard before). I highly recommend anyone learning or teaching languages to learn more about Where Are Your Keys. http://www.whereareyourkeys.org
Hello! First of all, thank you for this awesome site.
One question, I’m currently on level 2. What could one expect after completing Level 7 in terms of language proficiency? Perhaps B1 on the CEFR-scale?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages
What do you think?
Regards from Singapore!
I have 2 questions regarding kdrama phrases.
You know actors often say 갈게 in dramas when they are leaving, does that mean they are leaving now/first (as the eng subs often say) or does it mean ‘I’ll be there’ as google translate tells me? I’m confused and I know gtranslate is not 100%right. Or have I gotten (like writing in korean) the entire phrase wrong?
Also, how do you write the phrase that sounds like dainnida which suggests sth like ‘phew what a relief’ or ‘thank goodness’?
Thanks!
annyeonghaseyo! All thanks to this wonderful website i can now say that with confidence ^.^ I really appreciate all the time and effort put into this! My Korean sister-in-law told me to go on here to start the process of learning the beautiful Korean language. Ever since i have been 8 i have had a passion for Korea and I want to visit there more than ever. I started learning Korean in hopes of going there one day. Day by day i learn more and more and its all thanks to you! All of us really appreciate all that you do and I have confidence in saying that we all support you TTMiK team! :) Keep up the good work! aja aja fighting! XD

안녕하세요 ^^
I have been studying Korean for more than 1 year now and I like it so much, especially, after I found your website, it helps me a lot. I study with Korean teacher and they, sometimes, cannot explain to me in both my mother language or English, so that I’m not so clear in some parts. Can you help me >< I'm confused with 서수사, it is really too difficult to understand whether I should use 첫째, 첫번째 or 제일. It's like a mess in my head now. Please explain to me
Thanks for your help

This is my first time visiting this website and I found it well organized. Well, before asking anything I need you to be neutral while answering my question. I mean don’t just start to appreciate your own courses, since everyone loves his/her own work. While I was searching sites and videos for learning Korean I came across different kind of courses which are somewhat informative and somewhat recreational. It doesn’t matter if there are some funny things or stuff while trying to teach us as long as there is a solid aim.
So my questions is : I need to learn Korean for Korean proficiency test, which is a requirement to get admission in a certain University in Korea. And I’m aiming for it. Instead of any tuition in my hometown(PAKISTAN) I’m more inclined towards online videos/data, because it’s a little comfortable. Will I be able to Learn Korean Language effective enough to get me a decent score in K-proficiency test? Any personal idea/advice will be greatly appreciated.
I love korea and korean people and im always whach korean movie and concert… . please help me to learn korean language thank for all teacher of this site and all over the world and send me e-mail to help me learn this language
Hi, I really want to learn Korean and a friend gave me this site. It’s been really helpful, but it’s only like my second time visiting. I’m just 12 and I really want someone to help me with this. It’s a difficult language, but it’s kinda easy to pronounce because my native language is Spanish. I grew up with a second language which is English, but I really want to learn Korean. I’ve only just started, but I know that I’ll come a long way. I give thanks to the teachers and creators of this site.
I just started your lessons and I’m enjoying them very much! I have been a fan of Kpop for some time now, which is the reason I originally wanted to learn Korean. But now I’m also watching movies and TV shows. Finally I have some free time on my hands, and the first thing I did was find your website! It’s great and I just want to say thank you! Gamsa hapnida!
if anyone being eager to learn korean, i’m here to help u
i’d also like to do some sorta language swap thing
i’ve been abroad for 3 years, so my english ain’t that bad i’d say lol

Hello everyone!
제 이름은 이한별입니다. Okay so, I plan on going to Korea by myself this Fall (probably in late September or early October) and I was wondering if you guys could PLEASE help me with my travel plans. If at least one of you could help me, that would be awesome and I would very much appreciate it! I just want to go to Korea to sight see, improve my Korean, and experience Korean culture first hand. So could anyone please tell me where I could start planning my travel plans? I already know that I need my passport and if I want to stay past 30 days then I’ll need a visa. But I’m not exactly sure where I should stay and where I should go to go sight see. Again, I would very much appreciate anyone’s help! Thanks! ^^ Oh, and if you want to email me, you can email me at LeeHanbyul1994@gmail.com. ^^
여러분 감사합니다!
