안녕하세요. 감사합니다!! Thank you so much for creating this website!! I have tried to learn other languages before, but got discouraged quickly because I couldn’t find a lesson plan that I could stick to. The way you have laid out the lessons with downloadable mp3′s that go along with pdf workbooks is really helpful, and easy to follow. Thank you!
…lot’s of thanks we really appreciate it~
hello
i am searching the word “interested” in google so i finding 4 word to korean so i can not Understand it . plz help me
관심
흥미를 가진
이해 관계가있는
사리에 좌우된

thanks
plz answer to me
gam-sa-ham-nida
Hi Zeinab,
Wow, few sentences are quite hard. :)
관심 means “interest”.
흥미를 가진 means “to be intrested in”
Regarding “이해 관계가 있는”, I rather undertand it as “to be connected to sth” or “to be related to sth”.
“사리에 좌우된”, hm… it is hard for me to explain but let me try.
“사리” is a kind a reason or logic and “~에 좌우된다” means “to be depend on sth”.
So the meaning is like “to be depend on the reason or logic”.
dear Mr jinseokjin
감사합니다
안녕하세요 선생님들! 저는 수일 전에 티티믹으로 공부하기 시작했어요. 대학교에서 배우고 지금 한국에 살지만 이 사이트의 Lesson들은 저에게 아주 도움이 많이 돼요. 저는 매일 Lesson을 10개나 들어요! 이 사이트를 만드는 데 도움을 주시거나 지금 가르치시는 모든 분들께 감사 드립니다.
Hello. I’m Evelyn from the Philippines. I enjoy learning from your very informative site about Korean language.And I really appreciate your program.
I have some questions regarding Korean terms.
When will I use the terms 에관한& 에 관해
애 대한 &에대해
를/을/기 위한 &를/을/기 위해?
And also the suffix 던 {따랐던;숨겼던;받으셨던; etc…}
Thank you very for your help. I’m looking forward for the explanations of these terms, its usage or rules…
Regarding the ~을/을/기 위한, 위해, I hope you to check out this lesson. http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/lessons/level-3-lesson-17/
에관한& 에 관해
The meaning of the word is “about sth”. I think I often use them when I want to explain sth.
For example,
오늘은 사진에 관해 말 해 보겠습니다. Today I will talk about Photo.
이것은 공룡에 관한 책입니다. This book is about Dinosaur.

Hello TTMIK!
I would like you to know that your website is the best site I ever found. I am very thankful for all these lessons you are providing for free. I have printed the whole level 1 lessons and fortunately, I learned everything by heart in four days because they are very detailed, yet very easy to learn and understand.
See, I’ve been to Korea this December to join the KPOP World Festival in Changweon, and I emerged as the winner. That made me want to learn the Korean language more. Korea is a very nice country, and I would really love to go there once again, with fluency in Hangeul.
Thank you so much for everything Seonsaeng nims!
Take care always and God bless!
dear
merry Christmas :)

안녕하세요. 페레시테 씨.
한국어 잘 쓰셨어요. :)
Regarding “나는 내 스스로 그것을 배웠습니다.” expression, it is hard to say this is wrong sentence but it is not that natural.
I may say “저는 스스로 한국어를 배웠습니다”.

Hi!
I have tried to look at the shop for a few days now and the link still isn’t working! Should I continue to wait or is there a different page I can look at?
I’m sure you’ve heard this countless times but your lessons are really useful and I can’t wait to learn more :)
Thank you so much *_*
Hi Toya,
You mean that you can not go to MyKoreanStore.com? Hm…
http://mykoreanstore.com/
http://mykoreanstore.myshopify.com/
Why don’t you click the site above? I really hope they will work. Actually, I can go to the website without any problems.
여러분 새해 복 많이 받으세요~
문제 한개 있는대… “화장실 가고픔”동안, “픔”은 뭐예요? And, “열심히 공부함”동안 “함”은요?
으악, “동안”은 안 맞아요.
“있는대” → “있는데”, 그리고 “동안” → “속에”…
가고픔 and 공부함 is the noun form of the 가고프다 and 공부하다.
새해 복 많이 받으세요!

hello,
I have a question i would like to ask you guys, but for some reason the ‘ask our teachers’ page isn’t loading. Anyway i have started learning korean with your website and have found it a lot easier than other methods i have tried. So going through your pdf files i saw that you guys write in Hangul a lot. I wrote down these symbols but they took no meaning to me. Finally i tired of the romanizing system. I wanted to accurately pronounce words and read what i was learning. So i started learning Hangul with Koreanwikiproject. My friends also use your website to learn Korean, and we had a discussion on learning Hangul. She explained to me how she was learning the language first before she started learning Hangul. She had a great point. She said it was like how when you are a baby or toddler, you learned to speak before you learned to read or write. So finally getting to my question , after this long and surely uneeded explanation, Does learning Korean and Hangul in a pacific order effect the learning process and if so wich do you recomend i learn first?
thanks
Hi Desiree!
I’m not one of the teachers but i guess i understand your concern. First of all, the way you’ve learned your mother tongue is not the same you learn foreing languages (at less you learn them all in childhood) the brain change the way to process the information while growing, he wants structures and models… that’s why you have this desire to learn hangul and read it, you’re brain wants more!!! But, in linguistics there’s a thing called “segment”, that permets in any language to indentify where start a word and where it ends.
Basically, if you’re going to start writing in other typography and you feel like you know enough words to identify them (not by meaning… that comes after, just by sight or by ear), i guess there’s not a lot of problems, in fact that’s a great way to learn new vocabulary ‘cuz you notice the words in betwen! But careful, if you DON’T, you could finish frustrated…
That’s why i love the handbook we used, they familiarize us with hangul without being a torture for our brain!!! Maybe we don’t know how to write it or read it, but you’ll see.. you’re going to remember patterns while writing, that you didn’t even kwow you were learning!
Hope it helps… Ü
Hi!!!
I really really love you guys, love Korea and love languages!!! I’m glad you do this magnificent job. I’m in lesson 3 and i feel like i have already learned a lot! Thank you!
By the way, i’m doing a degree in teaching laungages (specially french and spanish), and i have to say you’re very pro in what you’re doing (even more than some people i know in the world of teaching, hehe…) I’m amazed how well you prepare the lessons and even more (super important hehe) how you guys care about us! Almost nobody think of that. Again… GAM-SA-HAP-NI-DA!!!!

Hello, I have a question about typing in 한글. Maybe I am typing something like 괜궨찮아요 but instead I accidentally type 괜찬ㄹ because ㅎ and ㄹ are right next to each other on the keyboard. If I use backspace, it will delete all of 찬 instead of letting me add the ㅎ at the end. Is there a way to modify already-completed syllables instead of delete them? Since I’m still learning the layout on keyboard I make this sort of mistake with many words.
Thanks for all the help provided on this site. It has been wonderful!
AW, annyeong haseyo this website is so cool and useful :D favor please ?can i have favor please translate my name —–> Celina in Korean Hangul and Romanize? Kamsahamnida. ^^
안녕하세요? 저는 베트남에서 온 우웬이라고 하는데요. 외국인을 위한 한국어를 배우기에 대한 뛰어난 자료를 만들어 주셔서 대단히 감사합니다.^^~ 좋은 자료뿐만 아니라 선생님들도 친절하시고 명확하게 설명해 주셔서 이 사이트를 자꾸 이용하다 보면 한국어 실력이 늘 수 있을 것 같아요. 저는 한국말을 배운 지 1년쯤 됐지만 말을 하는 게 아직 서투른데 말이 자연스럽게 났으면 좋겠어요. 그리고 말할 때마다 문법을 생각하느라 시간이 많이 걸리고요. 한국말로 말을 잘 하려면 어떻게 해야할까요? 좋은 방법이 있으시면 가르쳐 주시겠어요? 잘 부탁드립니다 ~~.
우웬 씨, 안녕하세요. 우웬 씨가 쓴 한국어를 보고 깜짝 놀랐어요. 한국어를 정말 잘 쓰시네요. ㅎㅎㅎ 한국어를 이 정도 쓸 수 있으면, 말하는 것도 분명 잘 할 것 같은데요.
말을 자연스럽게 하기 위해서는 습관처럼 한국어를 자주 써야한다고 생각해요. 만약에 문법 때문에 말 할때 시간이 많이 걸린 말이 있다면, 그 말을 집중적으로 연습해 보세요.
Hi to all TTMK staffs
I’m so glad my friend shared to me this TTMK.we always have problem on how to express our thoughts at work in korean. I learned only a little korean but my friend didnt.since she had bigger problem in understanding korean at work, she tried to browse some korean learning sites and come up to TTMK. she shared to me,.i listened and was delighted to hear the lesson.the topic was “kajang”. now i use this site to learn more –korean speaking.yes its an easy way to learn korean..and i discovered there are smart teachers here.besides,my boyfriend says i must have to learn korean cuz he’s going to marry me,.lol
I can say this site is very useful to anyone who tries to speak korean like me.
진 선생님이 좋은 조언을 알려 주셔서 고마워요. ^^~ 한국말을 잘 하려면 아직 멀었어요. 쓸 때는 확인할 수 있어서 고치기가 쉬운데 말할 때는 실수할까 봐 겅정돼요. 그리고 우리 언어 학당에 계신 선생님들과 얘기를 쉽게 나눌 수 있지만 다른 한국 사람과 의사소통하기 어려운 편이거든요. 한번은 어느 날에 어떤 한국 사람이 저한테 길을 물어봤는데 그 사람의 말을 거의 다 알아들을 수가 없더라고요. 왜 그랬는지 모르겠어요. 그 때 진짜 부끄럽고 답답하던데요. ㅠ.ㅠ 아마 우리 선생님들과 자주 만나면서 얘기해서 그런지 익숙해졌다고 봐요. 암튼 오는 3월에 한국에서 대학 공부하기 시작하니까 한국말을 더 열심히 연습하기로 했고요. 앞으로도 여기서 선생님들이 가르쳐 주시기 바랍니다. 감사합니다. ~~
부끄럽게 생각할 필요없어요. 즐거운 마음으로 저희와 함께 공부해요. :)
안녕하세요? 몃분 전에 제가 이 웹사이트를 발견했어요! 웹사이트의 속을 읽을 떼 이 내용이 정말 대단해요! 한국말을 배울때 만약 웹사이트를 발견하면, 너무 너무 쉽게 한국말을 배워졌어요. ㅋㅋㅋ ^^
그렇지만, 내 청력이 좀 나빠요. 한국 뉴스나 펏게스트를 들면서 잘 이해 못해요.. 어떠게 해야합니까?

What does the verb “가고프다” in “화장실 가고픔” mean? Can’t find it in dictionary. Thought it’d mean the same as “가고 싶다”.
가고프다 means “to want to go”. 가고픔 is the noun form of the verb “가고프다”.
Yeah, the meaning is same as “가고 싶다”. Nowadays, we don’t often use “가고프다” in daily conversation.
can i ask about the au-pairs in korea and how to do/apply it ^^ ?

Well, I don’t know well about au-pairs. However, why don’t you search it through internet?
