Hyunwoo Sun( 선현우 )
Hi, everyone. My name is Hyunwoo Sun (선현우). I was born and raised here in Korea and I am still living in Korea, but I LOVE learning foreign languages so I have learned (and am still learning) English, Japanese, French, Chinese and Spanish, and I’m planning to learn more. With the help of some really awesome people, I made this place with the goal of making it easier for learners of the Korean language to continue learning without giving up. I hope you will enjoy learning with us, and I’d love to hear from you about how we can make this site and our lessons better! Thank you!
If you are interested in reading about some other things that I am up to, please visit http://HyunwooSun.com.
안녕하세요. 선현우라고 합니다. ^^ 정말 반갑습니다. 저는 한국에서 태어나서 계속 생활해 왔고, 지금도 한국에 살고 있지만, 꾸준히 공부를 한 결과 해외에서 몇 년 살다왔다고 농담 삼아 거짓말을 해도 믿을 정도로 여러 외국어를 구사하고, 지금도 공부하고 있습니다. 지금 이 웹사이트와 방송을 통해서는 전세계의 한국어 학습자들에게 한국어를 더 재미있게 더 효과적으로 그리고 더 꾸준히 배울 수 있도록 도움을 드리려고 노력하고 있습니다. 이 웹사이트는 정말 많은 분들이 함께 노력해서 만들어져 가고 있고, 제작진 모두가 학습자들의 의견을 적극 반영해서 더 좋은 방송, 더 좋은 레슨, 그리고 더 따뜻한 커뮤니티를 만들어 가려고 합니다. 앞으로도 잘 부탁 드립니다!

Hello Hyunwoo Sun congratulation for this new awesome website and I hope we will find what we need to learn korean .
Ahmed :) Thank you very much! I hope you will find what you need in this website!!! :)
Hi Hyunwoo Sun!
I want to learn Korean since june 2009. I was searching some helful videos, when I found ever4one on Youtube. I watched some, and I really liked!
Yesterdy, I was searching a video for saying “Happy New Year” in Korean. Now, I’m in your new website. =
I really like it. =D
I just want to thank you so much for your work (the other teachers also).
Personally, I’m learning 3 languages. French is my native language. I’m learning German and English at school, and Korean on the internet.
It’s shame that there is hardly anything to help French speakers for larning Korean!
Good job! =)
감사합니다!
안녕하세요 N’Shemae :) Nice to meet you ^_^!!!! Keep up with your studies and let’s talk often!!
Hi Hyunwoo
I love you Hyunwoo Sun and I’ll promise to learn your language and meet you in the future.^^ S_R_C
Thank you Sindy! Looking forward to meeting you in the future!

Hi there 오빠!
You’re voice is really nice. And you can explain the lessons well. I soooooooooo love your site. Keep up the good work.
Take care always!
Megumitch! :)
Thank you soooo much!! :) I hope you will keep coming back!
Yup…I visit your site everyday. I listen to the lessons during my break..^o^
I just wanted to say that your speaking in korean is very very useful to me! I mean hearing makes me want to answer in korean^^. The fact that your lessons and your mp3 files are useful is the fact that now I’m watching korean dramas without subtitles eventhough I don’t understand everything I try to catch the things I learn during lessons and it works! After I rewatched them with subtitles to get vocabulary and see if I were right. So I just wanted to thank you.
By the way, it seems we can’t download anymore mp3 files? Please let me know!
Thank you very much!
Emmanuelle :)
Thank you so much!! You can download all the mp3 files that are on the site forever :)
TTMIK is beyond great. I’d have to create a new word to express how much I appreciate what you and the other instructors are doing. I’m looking forward to the upcoming lessons. Keep them coming!
Six languages? Hyunwoo, you can’t be serious?
Derek :)
Thank you so much for the kind words! And yeah… :) I love learning languages as much as I love helping people learn Korean :)
안녕하세요 현우오빠~~
Como a ti, a mi me encanta aprender las lenguas. En la universidad, estudié lingüistica hispanica y literatura americana (junto con enseñar inglés como lengua extranjera) y ahora vivo en Corea donde enseño ingles y 한국어 공부해요.
Si quieres practicar tu español aquí en Corea contáctame!
Also, 지금 저는 당신이랑 한국어 연습 할 수 있어요~~ I hope that makes sense~*^___^*
Allison :)
안녕! 반가워!
A mi me gusta tu blog! Y por supuesto! Me gustaria poder practicar mi espanol contigo mientras que estas en Corea. Donde en Corea vives ahorita? :)
Y por la ultima frase que has escrito, seria mas natural si escribes “이제 오빠랑 한국어 연습할 수 있어요”
- Hyunwoo
Ola! ^^ me dijeron que tu sabes hablar español ^^
espero que si…por que no se ingles jejejeje..!!!
asi que por favor..en serio necesito aprender coreano pero creo que esta pagina esta en ingles.
me gustaria mucho aprender..!!!
take care! ^^
안녕하세요!
free forever? …. 고맙습니다. 나 1/4한국 입니다. 항상 공부했습니다.
i really apreciate all that your trying to accomplish. the fact that your lessons are free
shows you have real good heart :) 지금 사백 단어를 알아요. but i know that this is not
enough and that i will probally always be a student. 저 할머니가 한국어입니다. and i have one
very good friend in japan whom is korean. I want to know more and more about my korean side all
the time. i dont know if you have MP3 on cultural points , i know a few…. like king 세종, 고사리, 옹기,한지, 판소리…also i love differnet 사투리. i know these would not be main lessons but….. just a thought.
keep up all the love and good work, 조나단,(jonathan)
Aagh! Its March and its snowing?!
Hyunwoo,
I have a question. How do I say “Stop, talk to me in Korean”? Kuman, Hangookeo something something… I will say something to my Korean friends in Korean and they always respond in English. My listening skills are not the best. I always have to say “Chun chun hi morayo” I think that means speak slowly. But yeah, even though they would have to say their sentence twice. Once in Korean and again in English, I want to tell my friends to talk to me in Korean.
Derek
Because of my lack in ability to write correctly in Hangul, I’ll just romanize for your sake.
If they are close friends : Kumanhae! Hangugeo Malhae!. :]
If you want to use formal language: Kumanhaeyo! Hangugeo Malhaeyo :]
and Chon Chonhi Malhaeyo does mean speak slowly :]
Continue to study Korean here at TTMIK :]
You’re cool man! this is an awesome site so i’ll stick with this and try to learn Korean as much as i can. I’m just a beginner so pls give me an advice. Nice to meet you. >(<
Yeah! Hyunwoo Oppa is cool and his photo is also cool. Handstand…Can you teach me how to do that?LOL
congratulations for the web, the truth is that its lessons have been very useful to me, its all very nice
I’m from chile, and although my native language is spanish, I find it easier to learn in this way
really, thank you very much for the page, go ahead, Greetings from Chile ^^
(감사합니다!)
It’s quite amazing how many language you can speak!
I’m currently learning korean, thanks to ‘Talk to me in korean’ it’s going quite well.
I would like to see you speaking French and Spanish :P
How long have you been studying those languages?
and lastly what work do you do?
-So exactly which languages do you speak fluently?:) Just curious:P
Fighting!
안녕하세요 현우씨,
votre siteweb est formidable.c`est absolument chouette.Je vous encourage.Felicitations.
축하 합니다.재미있습니다.j`espere qu`on partagera les idees et opinions bien sur dans le domaine de la langue coreenne.ravi de vous connaitre.A tres bien tot.안녕히 계세요.
안녕 하세요!
저는 벨라루스 민스크 사람인데, 전공으로 외국어 즉 불어와 독어를 공부해요. 2006 년말부터 한국어를 배웠는데 아직도 안타깝게도 한국어 능력이 오래한만큼 좋지 않지만 이현우라는 외국어 천재가 있다고 해서 저도 포기 하면 안됀다 저도 언젠가 그 많은 개의 국어를 알게 된다고 생각하며 계속 공부해왔어요.
그런데 시간 참 많이 걸려요 (현재 한국어, 독어 배우면서 불어하고 영어를 연습해야되는데 실질적으로 다른 과목이 많아서 시간이나 힘이 부족해서 일주 한국만이나 독어만 배우고 나머지 2개구거를 공부하거나 연습할 기회가 없어서 점차 잊어 가요. 혹시 그렇게 많은 국어를 하시는 분이시니까 전에 공부하셨던 국어를 잊지않게 새 국어를 공부하시는 방법 좀 가르쳐 주실래요? 다른 일을 하세요 아니면 하루종일 외국어 공부만 하세요? 이런 게 궁금해요.
그리고 2007년부터 koreanclass101.com 재미있게 들어왔는데 한국어 공부를 그렇게 흥미롭게 만들어 주셔서 감사드리고, 최근 발견한 이사이트하고 languagecast으를 앞으로 자주 볼게요.
그리고 또 있는데요: 저희가 여름 때 시간 좀 있으면 이 사이트나 다른 외국어 공부를위한 사이트랑 관련된 활동 좀 하고 싶어요. 우리 국어는 노어여서 번역이나 교재같은 일이 생기면 저한테도 연락해 주세요!
안녕하세요 Yury 씨 반가워요. 답장이 많이 늦었죠? 공부를 정말 열심히 하고 계시네요. 앞으로도 꾸준히 열심히 공부하시길 바래요. 저는 가능하기만 하다면 하루 종일 외국어 공부만 하고 싶지만, 사실은 해야 할 일들이 굉장히 많아서 그게 쉽지는 않아요. ^^
선생님! 하하.. I have a question! Does 재미있어요 means it’s funny and 재미없어요 means it’s not funny?
오빠 재미있어요!
That’s correct!!!!
저 재미있어요? 고마워요!! :)
Hi
i really enjoy learning korean with you, the lessons are fun to listen and easy to learn,
i learned a lot thanks to your website. Thanks for all your help. Thank you for all your hard work. it is awesome.
i have a question,
i was learn that “the pattern for using 아니에요 is – Topic (은/는), Subject (이/가), Verb. There are two particles (Topic Marker and Subject Marker) in a single sentence.
then what’s the right form for “I am not a student” “저는 학생이 아니에요” or “저 학생 아니에요”
or the two sentences are correct
i’m confused
thank you
Both 저는 학생이 아니에요 and 저 학생 아니에요 are correct.
저는 학생이 아니에요 is the basic form,
and as is often the case in Korean,
the particles can be dropped when the meaning is very clear,
so it can become 저 학생 아니에요 :)
안녕하세요 저는 외국학생예요 한국어를 배우려고 한국에 왔어요 근데 한국어를 너무나 어려워요 ㅜㅜ 좀 제가 꼭 한국어 능력시험이 6급통과해야돼요 ㅜㅜ
안녕하세요 ^^ 한국어를 배우는 게 쉽지는 않죠? 계속 공부해서 꼭!! 6급 시험 통과하길 바래요! 지금 어디에서 공부하고 있어요?
제가 지금 에 천안에서 살고 있어요 교환 유학생 으로 한국에 왔어요 ㅋㅋㅋ 저는 중국사람이니까 우리 학교 중국과 학생들 이랑 친해요 ㅋㅋㅋ 같이 엠티또 가고 정말 재미있게 지냈어요 근데 몇 달후에 중국에 다시 돌아가야해는데 좀 슬퍼
안녕 현우, 괜찮아요?? 도와주세요?!
Please could you help me on how to say/ask ” What is ….. in korean?” and “How do you say…. in korean?”
This site is really great!! 대박!! It really is helping me on my journey to teaching ESL in korea!
When i finally get to teach in korea, ill male sure to thank you guys!
Jaehyeon :) Thanks for the comment and the questions!
“What is …. in Korean?” is ….는 한국어로 뭐라고 해요? or ….는 한국어로 뭐예요?
I hope this helps!
현우 오빠 고마워요!!
Also, are there were any good books/reading material that you would reccomend(apart from TTMIK ofcorse)to help in learning korean!?!
안녕하세요!! :) Thanks for the comment! Which level are you looking at? :)
hyunwoo, thanks so much for putting up this site. I’m such an avid fan of korean dramas but I watch them only with english subtitles! I want to learn the language so I can watch the shows without them! However, I’m still a beginner and only at your lesson 9 . And it seems I’ll be stuck there for quite sometime because I’m already confused! LOL! I also get intimidated when I see korean writing because I know I will fail at that. :-( I will stick to conversational korean for now. LOL!
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Hanna :) Welcome to the site and thanks for the comment! Please feel free to ask us any questions :)
I’m interested to know what my name is in Korean….can you help me with that? :)
You’re funny and your lesson instruction is very clear~
Right now I’m being inspired by your podcasts^^ Now I’m thinking I will come back to Korea not just to teach but also to study Korean at a University.
Thank you Young Hee !! :) Hopefully when you come back to Korea, you can join us for one of our lessons!
Hi Hyunwoo Sun!!! You are very nice. I sent an email to you. When you have time could you answer it? Thank you. :)
I commented the lessons part earlier but i haven’t leave comment here yet. 저 형에게 너무 저성합니다 for the late comment here…
Hi! I just wanted to tell you that I love your lessons! They are so easy to understand and I have learned a lot in just the short month I have been using them. I am moving to Korea a little over a year from now to teach English. Hopefully I will learn a lot of Korean by then so I can talk to my students in both languages. 캄사함니다!!!!!!!!!
