These books are excellent, beautifully presented, superb construct and content. I’m a native English speaker and have learned and worked in French, German, and Spanish, and am learning Danish, Hindi, and Korean. My father is a translator for German, and a translator/interpreter for Mandarin. These are THE best language books and materials we’ve ever used! Thank you to everyone at TTMIK 😊
Wow! As a native Hindi speaker, I've never seen people learning Hindi before. 1 tip I would like to give you if you want to learn conversational Hindi and not pure one is that don't memorize a lot of complicated words which are not basic. We hardly say a full sentence in Hindi. Instead, we replace some Hindi words with English ones. So, you have to be familiar with the sentence order.
AMGR 7 if it helps, I learned using these books five years ago in college before I got a job and got distracted, and I still remember everything I learned with TTMIK but nothing from the other resources I used. I think it’s worth it! Check their online lessons first if you’re worried
I don’t know if this is just me, but I feel like I learn/focus better if I have a physical copy of what I’m learning. I’m trying to get back in to learning Korean. I kind of stopped in the middle of book 1 and couldn’t get back to it until now because of how much school work I’ve had ;-; I’ve been getting really motivated about learning it recently though! :D
Same here. I learn better with physical copies better than online copies. And I just got back into learning it as well! If anyone has any suggestions on what I should start with to begin my learning experience please tell me!😁
I have an iPad, so I study just like it’s a physical book but 10x more convenient since I don’t forget a pen or pencil and can rewriting with erasing. Plus, I carry tons of books all in a flat pad.
“Our first lesson was in December of 2009. Wow, do you still remember” ... No. I was 5. I can’t say I was learning Korean. I was too busy building forts in my lounge with my teddies.
I wish there was this exact type of teaching only with other languages as well, if you know what I mean. Thank you for your help. I just started learning Korean and I’ve been trying for a year but I just couldn’t find anything. This is helping me so much. I’m 5 lessons away from level 2 in less than a month! It’s so helpful I love it. I asked for a few of these books for Christmas even though I’m hoping I’ll be on level 3 by that time and I only asked for level 1 and 2 but it will still be great practice!
_Music4life _ They should use such things in school for spanish and french classes too, because we all know, after school, nobody remembers just one word of spanish or french haha 😆
I think I’m only improving my Korean as fast as I am because of TTMIK books XD I own 7 TTMIK books and I’m probably gonna keep getting more because of how fantastic they are.
I can imagine how proud Hyunwoo Sun and TTMIK Team is, for their hard work. Like “wow these books used to be a vision to teach Korean,” or “wow, what used to be my concept is now being sold around the world.” I cannot wait for TTMIK to expand more. I can imagine someday it will look like a Kumon type where people are learning Korean to a TTMIK mini school placed in every country all over the world. PS I just started to learn Korean 3 days ago. I’m having fun. Thank u. Love from the Philippines.
Some of the best language learning materials I have seen. I am a trigger happy shopper but these books (+ the audio courses) are definitely worth it. Thanks guys, y'all are making a difference.
Hey! I want to buy the Hangul Master and the entire collection of Grammar books plus workbooks, and tbh quite a few of the other books too. Do you think it's crazy to buy them all in bulk? It would save me some money in the long run to do that, but I just wonder if I want to buy such a big chunk of my Korean journey right at the beginning. I do think these books are very good, and I do enjoy using books to study a language, furthermore there is a Korean language course at my uni (just starting my Bachelor's now) which I can do for no additional cost and put toward my degree, so I think it would be lovely to supplement with these. May I ask, how much time a week (or day) do you spend studying with these books specifically? (Or did at the time when you wrote this comment lol) Thank you very much for your input! I'm just a bit anxious about making a big purchase. 😅
I just bought the level 1-8 grammar books!!! I’m so excited to get back to learning again. I tried learning with the Integrated Korean books, but the format just doesn’t work for me, and the price for them is unreasonable. I am definitely excited to finally get the books to go with the great lessons I get from TTMIK! I’ll be getting the Verbs books one day as well.
I was in high school and would listen along and practice Korean while I walked the dog. Later, I'd print out the lesson that went with the podcast episode and have a ton of fun studying it. Then college happened, and I dropped it at some point. Now I'm ready to pick it up again and I'm starting from the very beginning. It's been so much fun re-listening to early episodes and re-remembering things. Thank you for over 10 years of language teaching.
Your books do have such a high quality, I am really impressed. A friend of mine got me the Grammar textbook level 1, and now I need to get the workbook. Before that I used some italian book also used at some Universities here, and now that I know your products, I regret buying that book (and workbook) for like 80€ ❤️
@@llurh I think people tend to say it's easy only because the spelling is more phonetic and consistent compared to English. I haven't started studying it yet but I can imagine it being challenging for teo reasons: 1. because it's a different system than a regular alphabet - it has these blocks that you have to know how to build and 2. because to write Hangul properly you have to have a good ear for the sounds and phonemes of the Korean language. When I got into watching Korean dramas I thought Korean had two different ways to say "I don't know" - one is molla and the other bolla. 😂 In reality it's neither, it's a sound in between. You have to hear these sounds well enough to accurately recognize them, which becomes harder when you listen to natural spoken speach than listening to isolated sounds. I'm not used to aspiration being important, for example, like it is for the different "P" sounds in Korean. Hangul can be challenging because 1. it's different and 2. it goes hand in hand with some knowledge and skill in the Korean sounds, which are again different from our mother tongues. Unless your mother tongue is Cantonese or something lol. That is just my take on it. I'm about to buy the Hangul Master book because I'm only now starting to seriously learn Korean, but I've watched some videos on Hangul and the Korean sounds so this is my take on why it may be challenging. I hope this helps. 😊 And don't worry. Regardless of how easy or how hard it is for you, what matters is your motivation, drive and determination. If you really enjoy Korean then you'll internalize all those difficult parts at some point, whether it's Hangul or some Grammar construction or pronunciation, it will come at some point because when you set your mind to it - you can do it. 🙂 I wish you all the best!
@@essennagerry thank you. All of that makes sense. I’ve had to stop learning Korean for the moment because I’ve started back at school but I keep trying little things to get me to learn a little more easy.
hi hyunwoo, i have started my learning of korean language since 2018, watched so many of t=your short videos, loved listerning to your nice voice in grammer series from 1 t o10 , attended easily 6 three months course locally from beginner level , imtermediate , till advanced level, visted south korea several times over last 15 years, cities like seoul , winter cities seorak , busan , daegu, kwongu, jeju island , and industrial towns like jongju in 1984. I enjoyed watching korean dramas in its native language instead of translated mandarin in the past since 2005 era, listened to famous singers/ actors like lee seung gi, lee seo jin or dancer like rain / Jung hoon , & many more drama idols both male & female. not forgetting our liking for korean cruisine like kimchi , baegogi, gimbap, binbinbap, etc
I know this is really late comment. But I've just gotten your "Real-Life Korean Conversations: Intermediate" (it was my favorite!), "TTMIK Level 9", and the "Common Mistakes Korean Learners Make". And I've got to say that they were so helpful. I used to learn Korean using many books, including Yonsei and Sejong textbooks, but the way TTMIK delivers their lessons are really so refreshing. The conversation ideas and contents are sooo original, funny at times. I love the way you are teaching Korean in general. They were so well-structured and well-explained, even for someone learning on their own like me. Thank you, TTMIK teachers and team! Looking forward to more books and lessons from you. ❤️ ❤️ P.S.: I wish you would publish more real-life Korean conversations for intermediate and advanced levels.
감사합니다 선생님!!!!!!! This was really helpful!!! I watch it to the very end and actually didn’t want you to stop just yet lol I can’t wait for the new materials you and the TTMIK team will bring out!!!!! 정말 감사합니다!! 수고하셨습니다!!
I can't wait to get back to Korea and buy a haul. I learned a lot when I was younger by reading and it hurts when I walk into a bookstore and can't even skim a book 😭😭
at first I was able to learn Korean bc I went to a language school in my hometown but I needed more push so thank you to make the 1-9 unit books available for online buying option so I didn't have to pay shipping back then. It was a life saver!
Watching this video made me want to buy all the books from Talk To Me Korean. They all become my wishlist. I really love to have them. Please do giveaway or contest sometime..
TTMIK Team is the best! You don't how much I'm thankful I've found you to learn Korean, I love all your books, I bought them ALL (and looking forward to reading the new ones to come) the design is so good and the way you explain things are so well done! Except the part of subject marking particles and object marking particles, but it's not your fault I have to integrate the language first. Anyway I just want to tell you how much I love your books and lessons, I wish you a lot of success, so you can continue to publish books. 정말 감사합니다 ♥️ 생일 축하해요 🌹🎂🎉 I wish you ten on ten more happy years, stay healthy, take care. 사랑해요 TTMIK Team. Warm regards. ♥️
Wow you literally have a book for everything. I will be pouring all of my coins (or lack there of lol) into your website and resources!!! I am excited to learn!! 😍✨
*I really wish Hanguel Master was in ebook form too* 1. I like to be paper free, I carry all my books on my ipad and don’t have to carry them round. 2. For some countries USD Conversion rate is almost thrice the orignal price add shipping and customs taxes and you’re screwed. I wish ttmik team will take this in notice.
@@friendusesthisaccountnocom9928 Hello, I've never used any such software before. May I ask - how does it feel to write? Do you get used to it quickly or does it take a bit of time? Does it become comfortable and fast like writing on paper? Also, do you use it for taking notes on a blank page too? Does it have different color options?
I want to buy somebooks, but the shipping is so expensive 😭😭😭 it's not really important to me if the package arrive in 5 days or 2 weeks. I can't pay the shipping if it's so fast (5 days)😭😭.
i absolutely love these books, they’re not boring & just filled with words with no explanations, i’ve asked for a few of the beginner books for christmas & i can’t wait to get learning!!
I'm glad to see that you have collaborated with Go Billy for one of your books. Both of you I consider the top Korean teachers here on RUclips. I just finished watching Go Billy's 8 tips for Beginners,He said "I wish I knew these before learning Korean." I found the information to be helpful so I can have a better understanding and develop a good foundation of the Korean language.
Didn't watch more than 4 minutes of the video before I went to the site and bought Levels 1-3. I've been watching Korean TV since 2006. I think its about time I learn the language.
Perfect video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
For anyone that is in my situation, where shipping is expensive or whatever. I was able to buy the real life conversations book off of Amazon, and it came within about 2 or 3 days. It arrived today in perfect shape completely new. So if you want to try and find whatever book you’d ant to purchase on Amazon, it would probably be more convenient for you!
I already bought 'my first 500 korean words' and the grammar books 1 and 2 :) last week i purchased 'my weekly korean vocabulary' :) cant wait for it to arrive. i just love to learn with TTMIK. its fun and the amount of work and love the TTMIK team puts into their website and into the books is amazing :) thank you so so much for helping me learn korean. :) love your books and website
Thank you for your work. I bought level 1 and 2 and had them sent to California. I am 67 and trying to learn Korean. It is harder to remember things but i keep repeating and some of the words finally go in.
I want to say that your books are just amazing!...i am learning with grammar level 1 and I am in love with your books!!.... Thanks for these amazing books!! 감사합니다!
I've been wanting to learn Korean since I was 12 so I downloaded apps and PDFs and I also have a book I bought here but in the long process, I realized I can learn more through physical books because my eyes are strained from using phone too much. The only problem is money.😩
This comment can't be better timed. We are having our 가을 할인 (Autumn Sale) starting today! Official announcements are yet to be uploaded on our social media, but we just felt like letting you know in advance. It's 10% off on all our books, and 15% off on all our bundles 😉 Head over to our online bookstore now! talktomeinkorean.com/store/
@@talktomeinkorean I think I will hold on until the end of COVID-19. The shipping fee is nearly equivalent to those books prices. I prefer wait and using online resources to do revision. Actually I had took the public exam long long time ago but I can't meet level 2. And I met bottleneck when I study a book which called "Active Korea 3", therefore I gave up to learn Korean nearly 10 years. So sad. Recently I roaming your website again and think maybe I can try again. That's my story. Not interesting but real! Just hope to sharing with you.
I've been studying with ttmik since I become a kpop fan that time books is not available yet but pdf files and audio are free downloaded. Its my dream book to have. I highly recommend ttmik and I am very thankful ttmik for making my self study possible. I can afford to buys books until now but still ttmik having this channel Tutorial help me a lot. God bless our beloved ttmik teacher. Thank you very much and some of ttmik teacher are my friends in my fb and its been 6yrs already 선생님 대단히 감사합니다
I've only tried learning a few languages but I feel like most of the time there aren't as good resources as Talk To Me In Korean can be in terms of quantity and quality. I honestly feel so lucky I chose to learn Korean.
Waah 😊 I saw this and it feels like I want to buy all that books 😁 From the bottom of my heart I just want to say Thank you TTMIK you always make easy for us to study Hangeul. You are now part of my everyday living. 😉 Watching your videos makes me happy whenever I learned something new about Korean language. 😊 I'm now saving my money so that I'm able to buy your books as soon as possible 😊
Happy 10th anniversary TTMIK! 🎉 I have been using TTMIK for almost 7 years now. Yesterday I finally bought some books, 13 of them! Had to take advantage of that sale lol. Since I use your podcast lessions, I decided to not buy the grammar books this time, but instead buy traveling and vocabulary books for when I hope to travel to Korea 😄
I know you guys are always busy with new publications. Can you please create a 'Listen & Repeat' for nouns? The verbs one was absolutely great. The inclusion of the words in sentences was also helpful.
Thank you for this video. I was already planning on getting some of your books as soon as I can. This was very useful and I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait to get started. 💜
I just bought books 1-5 with the workbooks! I'm excited to continue learning Korean with TTMIK. I start university in Korea in 2022, so hopefully I won't be completely lost by then! 👍
really looking forward to learn korean effective. Stumble over the books a week ago and recently purchased the starter pack. Shipping costs sucks right now, but that will not stop me to learn and understand this beautiful language! Thanks for your work!
TTMIK is so good. I am subscribed to their website but I love learning with books. I wish I could buy these books. But I am so broke and the shipping and tax charges make the books way too costly for me. One day I will surely buy them all, even when I finish learning all of their online content. Thanks for making these!
I already have the "hanja" book and love it! It's such a precious word builder and helps understanding where some words come from... Soooo many other books I'd love to get though haha :) Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! wishing you many more decades to come :)
I'm half way on level 5 and I'm as excited as when I started with level one lesson one, I have to congratulate you guys because you actually make my Korean learning journey really enjoyable and fast! 화이팅! ♡
안녕하세요)) I wanna say to you a big 감사합니다 because u did a really big job u know. I started learn Korean a month ago and was really confused at first because I didn't know what I need to do firstly) u guys came and helped me then. I downloaded an app talk to me in Korean, and guess what. I understand everything and it seems to be really easy. So thanks a lot. Keep doing it ❤❤
Just bought the beginner bundle! It’s hard to gather all the lessons online in a way that helps me learn. There’s just so much stuff out there. Hopefully having a set plan already made will help me learn!
Guys, here's a tip for those of you who, like me, might not have the budget for physical books, perhaps due to shipping costs - consider getting a stylus pen and purchasing their ebooks instead It's not that comfortable as writing in a physical book, but it works haha
Thank you guys. Great books, great site, great teachers. I have started learning Korean with TTMIK 2 weeks ago ( I already knew Hangeul) and it's been less complicated than I expected. I could find Level 1 in digital format, but not the other levels (or the workbooks). Any plans of launching them soon?
I have a dream!!! I am going to buy your books gradully. And if I have them all someday in the future, I will share the photos of them with you:))) Hyunwoo xi, you are amazing!!!!!
you guys have great books! not just the work+textbooks but for example the newspaper article book. first time seeing this and it seems like this would be a great addition for intermediate learners. would love to get some additionally to my already existing books but shipping and probably customs will make it twice as expensive as they are and that's unfortunately not in my budget. but i enjoy the content that is for free and your videos here on youtube! really great work!
I’m asking for the level 1 study book and workbook for Christmas! I really want to start studying Korean in depth instead of just bits and pieces of it. I’m excited to start learning
I have two books arriving tomorrow because of this sale. I had a question I’ve been meaning to tweet, but I’ll wait till the end of this video in case you answer it here. Love this curriculum and the quality of the books is always so good.
I loved this! though was hoping to get a quick look through the real life korean conversations for beginners :( But still great video! Can't wait for my books to come in!
Bought two books from your site (500 korean words and Korean q & a). They're arriving tomorrow! Kinda regret not getting My Weekly Vocab after seeing this.. Haha Maybe next time!
"If you like to conjugate random verbs just for the sake of it"
Why is this so relatable?
It really is so much fun. I used to do it all the time in Japanese class in high school.

did u find learning hangul easy? i’m rly struggling with it but everyone i know has found it rly easy 😂
@@llurh I think people tend to say it's easy only because the spelling is more phonetic and consistent compared to English. I haven't started studying it yet but I can imagine it being challenging for teo reasons: 1. because it's a different system than a regular alphabet - it has these blocks that you have to know how to build and 2. because to write Hangul properly you have to have a good ear for the sounds and phonemes of the Korean language.
When I got into watching Korean dramas I thought Korean had two different ways to say "I don't know" - one is molla and the other bolla. 😂 In reality it's neither, it's a sound in between. You have to hear these sounds well enough to accurately recognize them, which becomes harder when you listen to natural spoken speach than listening to isolated sounds. I'm not used to aspiration being important, for example, like it is for the different "P" sounds in Korean. Hangul can be challenging because 1. it's different and 2. it goes hand in hand with some knowledge and skill in the Korean sounds, which are again different from our mother tongues. Unless your mother tongue is Cantonese or something lol.
That is just my take on it. I'm about to buy the Hangul Master book because I'm only now starting to seriously learn Korean, but I've watched some videos on Hangul and the Korean sounds so this is my take on why it may be challenging. I hope this helps. 😊
And don't worry. Regardless of how easy or how hard it is for you, what matters is your motivation, drive and determination. If you really enjoy Korean then you'll internalize all those difficult parts at some point, whether it's Hangul or some Grammar construction or pronunciation, it will come at some point because when you set your mind to it - you can do it. 🙂 I wish you all the best!
@@essennagerry thank you. All of that makes sense. I’ve had to stop learning Korean for the moment because I’ve started back at school but I keep trying little things to get me to learn a little more easy.
hi hyunwoo, i have started my learning of korean language since 2018, watched so many of t=your short videos, loved listerning to your nice voice in grammer series from 1 t o10 , attended easily 6 three months course locally from beginner level , imtermediate , till advanced level, visted south korea several times over last 15 years, cities like seoul , winter cities seorak , busan , daegu, kwongu, jeju island , and industrial towns like jongju in 1984. I enjoyed watching korean dramas in its native language instead of translated mandarin in the past since 2005 era, listened to famous singers/ actors like lee seung gi, lee seo jin or dancer like rain / Jung hoon , & many more drama idols both male & female. not forgetting our liking for korean cruisine like kimchi , baegogi, gimbap, binbinbap, etc
I know this is really late comment. But I've just gotten your "Real-Life Korean Conversations: Intermediate" (it was my favorite!), "TTMIK Level 9", and the "Common Mistakes Korean Learners Make". And I've got to say that they were so helpful. I used to learn Korean using many books, including Yonsei and Sejong textbooks, but the way TTMIK delivers their lessons are really so refreshing. The conversation ideas and contents are sooo original, funny at times. I love the way you are teaching Korean in general. They were so well-structured and well-explained, even for someone learning on their own like me. Thank you, TTMIK teachers and team! Looking forward to more books and lessons from you.
❤️
❤️
P.S.: I wish you would publish more real-life Korean conversations for intermediate and advanced levels.
I wish I have money to buy this books, looks interesting and easy to learn.
You can use the website to study up to level 10 for free. They even let you download the PDF s and audio files.
감사합니다 선생님!!!!!!! This was really helpful!!! I watch it to the very end and actually didn’t want you to stop just yet lol I can’t wait for the new materials you and the TTMIK team will bring out!!!!! 정말 감사합니다!! 수고하셨습니다!!
I can't wait to get back to Korea and buy a haul. I learned a lot when I was younger by reading and it hurts when I walk into a bookstore and can't even skim a book 😭😭
Ah! I’m glad you guys are having the sale! I NEED quite a few of these. I want to visit Korea someday! Love the lessons they really help!! ❤️🙂
at first I was able to learn Korean bc I went to a language school in my hometown but I needed more push so thank you to make the 1-9 unit books available for online buying option so I didn't have to pay shipping back then. It was a life saver!
Watching this video made me want to buy all the books from Talk To Me Korean. They all become my wishlist. I really love to have them. Please do giveaway or contest sometime..
TTMIK Team is the best!
You don't how much I'm thankful I've found you to learn Korean, I love all your books, I bought them ALL (and looking forward to reading the new ones to come) the design is so good and the way you explain things are so well done!
Except the part of subject marking particles and object marking particles, but it's not your fault I have to integrate the language first.
Anyway I just want to tell you how much I love your books and lessons, I wish you a lot of success, so you can continue to publish books.
정말 감사합니다 ♥️ 생일 축하해요 🌹🎂🎉
I wish you ten on ten more happy years, stay healthy, take care.
사랑해요 TTMIK Team.
Warm regards. ♥️
Wow you literally have a book for everything. I will be pouring all of my coins (or lack there of lol) into your website and resources!!! I am excited to learn!! 😍✨
*I really wish Hanguel Master was in ebook form too* 1. I like to be paper free, I carry all my books on my ipad and don’t have to carry them round. 2. For some countries USD Conversion rate is almost thrice the orignal price add shipping and customs taxes and you’re screwed. I wish ttmik team will take this in notice.
Buy from Amazon free next day shipping for Prime members.
Play Books has the ebook.
Is it convenience to jot notes on ebook? I just confuse buy ebook or a paper one because I like to jot down a lot of things on the book.
@@kbclub both are useful! for an ebook you can screenshot the pages, put it into ibis paint x (it’s free) and then write on them
@@friendusesthisaccountnocom9928 Hello, I've never used any such software before. May I ask - how does it feel to write? Do you get used to it quickly or does it take a bit of time? Does it become comfortable and fast like writing on paper?
Also, do you use it for taking notes on a blank page too? Does it have different color options?
you know you're a fan and when you pause a TTMIK podcast to watch a TTMIK video. thank you for making korean so easy to learn!
I want to buy somebooks, but the shipping is so expensive 😭😭😭 it's not really important to me if the package arrive in 5 days or 2 weeks. I can't pay the shipping if it's so fast (5 days)😭😭.
same the shipping cost as much as the books
@Ziannah Laurent I'm not sure If that works in Peru ;-;
Same, I'm from Nicaragua and with the cost of the shipping I can buy 3 of the same book 😭
Try buying it from Amazon
@Ziannah Laurent what shop on shopee did you buy the books?
Congratulations all of you now is 14 yrs. i wish that all of you can still create korean books with english words also.
i absolutely love these books, they’re not boring & just filled with words with no explanations, i’ve asked for a few of the beginner books for christmas & i can’t wait to get learning!!
당신 열정이 정말 멋지네요!!! 꼭!! 책을 구해서 열심히 공부하세요!!! ^^
I'm glad to see that you have collaborated with Go Billy for one of your books. Both of you I consider the top Korean teachers here on RUclips. I just finished watching Go Billy's 8 tips for Beginners,He said "I wish I knew these before learning Korean." I found the information to be helpful so I can have a better understanding and develop a good foundation of the Korean language.
Didn't watch more than 4 minutes of the video before I went to the site and bought Levels 1-3. I've been watching Korean TV since 2006. I think its about time I learn the language.
Perfect video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
You have no idea how much I love to conjugate verbs >_>
I'm about to start level 3 now. TTMIK is really great in teaching korean! 난 많이 배우 하고 있어요, 정말 감사합니다 ttmik!!
Happy anniversary thank you so much for helping us learning Korean I really enjoy learning Korean through your channel
The handwriting section totally saved me from giving up on hangeul
Thank you!
For anyone that is in my situation, where shipping is expensive or whatever. I was able to buy the real life conversations book off of Amazon, and it came within about 2 or 3 days. It arrived today in perfect shape completely new. So if you want to try and find whatever book you’d ant to purchase on Amazon, it would probably be more convenient for you!
I already bought 'my first 500 korean words' and the grammar books 1 and 2 :) last week i purchased 'my weekly korean vocabulary' :) cant wait for it to arrive. i just love to learn with TTMIK. its fun and the amount of work and love the TTMIK team puts into their website and into the books is amazing :) thank you so so much for helping me learn korean. :) love your books and website
Thank you for your work. I bought level 1 and 2 and had them sent to California. I am 67 and trying to learn Korean. It is harder to remember things but i keep repeating and some of the words finally go in.
Congrats Ttmik! Here's to another 10!
I want to say that your books are just amazing!...i am learning with grammar level 1 and I am in love with your books!!....
Thanks for these amazing books!!
감사합니다!
I've been wanting to learn Korean since I was 12 so I downloaded apps and PDFs and I also have a book I bought here but in the long process, I realized I can learn more through physical books because my eyes are strained from using phone too much. The only problem is money.😩
This comment can't be better timed. We are having our 가을 할인 (Autumn Sale) starting today! Official announcements are yet to be uploaded on our social media, but we just felt like letting you know in advance. It's 10% off on all our books, and 15% off on all our bundles 😉 Head over to our online bookstore now!
talktomeinkorean.com/store/
@@talktomeinkorean I think I will hold on until the end of COVID-19. The shipping fee is nearly equivalent to those books prices. I prefer wait and using online resources to do revision. Actually I had took the public exam long long time ago but I can't meet level 2. And I met bottleneck when I study a book which called "Active Korea 3", therefore I gave up to learn Korean nearly 10 years. So sad. Recently I roaming your website again and think maybe I can try again. That's my story. Not interesting but real! Just hope to sharing with you.
I've been studying with ttmik since I become a kpop fan that time books is not available yet but pdf files and audio are free downloaded. Its my dream book to have. I highly recommend ttmik and I am very thankful ttmik for making my self study possible.
I can afford to buys books until now but still ttmik having this channel Tutorial help me a lot.
God bless our beloved ttmik teacher. Thank you very much and some of ttmik teacher are my friends in my fb and its been 6yrs already
선생님 대단히 감사합니다
thank you for providing us with exceptional books :)) IM GOING TO LEARN KOREAN AND MAKE U PROUD ONE DAY!!

I've only tried learning a few languages but I feel like most of the time there aren't as good resources as Talk To Me In Korean can be in terms of quantity and quality. I honestly feel so lucky I chose to learn Korean.
Waah 😊 I saw this and it feels like I want to buy all that books 😁 From the bottom of my heart I just want to say Thank you TTMIK you always make easy for us to study Hangeul. You are now part of my everyday living. 😉 Watching your videos makes me happy whenever I learned something new about Korean language. 😊 I'm now saving my money so that I'm able to buy your books as soon as possible 😊
Happy 10th anniversary TTMIK! 🎉 I have been using TTMIK for almost 7 years now. Yesterday I finally bought some books, 13 of them! Had to take advantage of that sale lol. Since I use your podcast lessions, I decided to not buy the grammar books this time, but instead buy traveling and vocabulary books for when I hope to travel to Korea 😄
I know you guys are always busy with new publications. Can you please create a 'Listen & Repeat' for nouns? The verbs one was absolutely great. The inclusion of the words in sentences was also helpful.
this is so so helpful !! thank you for doing this
Today my TTMIK level 1 book arrived from 2:30 and I can't wait to study with it!(:
i’ve only been able to get the hangul master book and i loved it so much it helped me lots, i hope i can get more of these books someday
I just purchased the level 1 text book and work book TvT can’t wait for it to arrive 🤍
just bought 3 more books!! ttmik is really a BIG help in my journey on learning korean, thank u so much for all the hard work
Thank you for this video. I was already planning on getting some of your books as soon as I can. This was very useful and I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait to get started. 💜
I just ask my sister to buy the 500 word book for Xmas~ I’m so excited to work on it 😍
What a great sister!
I just bought books 1-5 with the workbooks! I'm excited to continue learning Korean with TTMIK. I start university in Korea in 2022, so hopefully I won't be completely lost by then! 👍
really looking forward to learn korean effective. Stumble over the books a week ago and recently purchased the starter pack. Shipping costs sucks right now, but that will not stop me to learn and understand this beautiful language!
Thanks for your work!
Just started with Level 1, but I already love to use your book. Can't wait to learn more. Thank you so much
TTMIK is so good. I am subscribed to their website but I love learning with books. I wish I could buy these books. But I am so broke and the shipping and tax charges make the books way too costly for me. One day I will surely buy them all, even when I finish learning all of their online content. Thanks for making these!
i just bought the 1-5 levels with the workbooks! i plan to study abroad in 2022 and i brand new to the language. I’m excited to learn!
I already have the "hanja" book and love it! It's such a precious word builder and helps understanding where some words come from...
Soooo many other books I'd love to get though haha :)
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! wishing you many more decades to come :)
You made an amazing books! 8년 전에 TTMIK와 한국어를 공부하기 시작했는데 정말 그 수업은 큰 도움이 됐어요. 감사합니다.
2019 is the 10th year anniversary?! this channel is made twelve years ago?! wow that is so long ago
amazing work , congratulations . i wish i could buy them all at once
I'm half way on level 5 and I'm as excited as when I started with level one lesson one, I have to congratulate you guys because you actually make my Korean learning journey really enjoyable and fast! 화이팅! ♡
Omg how is your improvement? I hear a lot of good reviews on TTMIK but I didn’t want to waste my time if it wouldn’t be worth it😕
@@babyapple7995 I've learned a lot so far
I love you books they are so helpful and easier to understand and the books so pretty!
Thank you for your amazing community
안녕하세요)) I wanna say to you a big 감사합니다 because u did a really big job u know. I started learn Korean a month ago and was really confused at first because I didn't know what I need to do firstly) u guys came and helped me then. I downloaded an app talk to me in Korean, and guess what. I understand everything and it seems to be really easy. So thanks a lot. Keep doing it ❤❤
It’s was very informative! Thank you so much!
I just bought the beginner package (Hangul master, Grammar and workbook level 1’) and am super excited to get excited
Just bought the beginner bundle! It’s hard to gather all the lessons online in a way that helps me learn. There’s just so much stuff out there. Hopefully having a set plan already made will help me learn!
You guys are great. I really love how your books are published. I really love it

@@domcasmurro9049 what?
I just got pretty much the entire collection and I just put together a new shelf for them. I can't wait to do some revision and reignite my learning 🙂
All these books look like so much fun! I can't wait to go through all of them :D

I just ordered the level 1- 9 grammar books. So excited!
ooh thank God for this! it took me ages to decide which books to pick with my level 1 text & workbook! this will help my 2nd purchase!
Glad it helped, Noor!
I really enjoyed learning korean with you back then i.e in 2009
Guys, here's a tip for those of you who, like me, might not have the budget for physical books, perhaps due to shipping costs - consider getting a stylus pen and purchasing their ebooks instead
It's not that comfortable as writing in a physical book, but it works haha
wow...I've been missing out! I'll definitely check out these books so i can take my learning to the next level!
Thank you guys. Great books, great site, great teachers. I have started learning Korean with TTMIK 2 weeks ago ( I already knew Hangeul) and it's been less complicated than I expected. I could find Level 1 in digital format, but not the other levels (or the workbooks). Any plans of launching them soon?
I have a dream!!! I am going to buy your books gradully. And if I have them all someday in the future, I will share the photos of them with you:))) Hyunwoo xi, you are amazing!!!!!
you guys have great books! not just the work+textbooks but for example the newspaper article book. first time seeing this and it seems like this would be a great addition for intermediate learners.
would love to get some additionally to my already existing books but shipping and probably customs will make it twice as expensive as they are and that's unfortunately not in my budget. but i enjoy the content that is for free and your videos here on youtube! really great work!
I got my book today…. Thank you 🇲🇨❤️🇺🇸❤️🇰🇷❤️
I’m asking for the level 1 study book and workbook for Christmas! I really want to start studying Korean in depth instead of just bits and pieces of it. I’m excited to start learning
I just started my level 1 yesterday, and can't wait to get back to it this evening!
Missy L that’s awesome! :D
your books are really unique and the best
Well here’s my Christmas wishlist
산타클로스가 저 책들을 들고 가시길요!!I hope Santa Claus takes those books with him to you!~~~🙏
I just started so this video is much welcomed.
ttmik books look so easy to learn
lmao i want all of your books, i will be really happy 🥺😭
I have two books arriving tomorrow because of this sale. I had a question I’ve been meaning to tweet, but I’ll wait till the end of this video in case you answer it here. Love this curriculum and the quality of the books is always so good.
I loved this! though was hoping to get a quick look through the real life korean conversations for beginners :( But still great video!
Can't wait for my books to come in!
I want to buy all of them!!!
You are the reason that I start learning korean.
Bought two books from your site (500 korean words and Korean q & a). They're arriving tomorrow! Kinda regret not getting My Weekly Vocab after seeing this.. Haha Maybe next time!
