    이것은 정말 도움이 됩니다 - 정말 감사합니다.
    저는 한국어를 유창하게 말하는 사람이 주변에 없기 때문에 한국어를 공부하는 것이 어렵다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 저는 제가 한국어를 공부하고 있다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 그것은 저에게 흥미로운 것입니다. 저는 한국 텔레비전을 보고, 한국 음악을 듣고, 한국 유튜브를 보고, 한국어로 톡투미인과 같은 한국 팟캐스트를 듣습니다. TV 프로그램, 한국 영화, 한국 유튜브, 한국 팟캐스트, 한국 인스타그램 외에 제가 성공하기 위해 필요한 것은 정기적으로 얼굴을 맞대고 대화하는 것이 도움이 될 것이라고 생각합니다.

    So helpful!
    If you are struggling to learn Korean , here is the best podcast. It is really useful and joyful you can learn and enjoy . Specially the topics are so awesome they talk about the daily phrases and sentences that a language learner needs the most. And the way that they are really trying to make you understand what they are talking about. It’s all amazing I really recommend this podcast to o everyone . Keep it up please
  • Y0urfunNyFri3nD
    감사핲니다!
    I’ve been learning Korean because I am a half, and it’s been really wonderful to listen to this. My favorite episodes were the ones that taught me more casual conversations, because most other websites try to teach words that are hard to understand, and they aren’t used very often. I recommend talk to ma in Korean podcast, YouTube, and everything else. Thank you ! 🫶 하트!!
  • Studying_ajm
    My favorite Korean resource for learning
    If you see learning Korean I highly recommend TMIK. They’re content is easy and fun to use.!!!!
  • everythingtakensohereyougolol
    Do yourself a favor...
    Written out only 14%~ of the core lessons at 42 pages in. Tons of examples to review at your own speed after simple and thorough explanations. This should every student’s starting curriculum. If you’re brand new, study the alphabet first (with a taste of Batchim) and pick this up! Good to go.
  • sxjxn
    재밌네요

    MY PODCAST EVER
    Okay so I’m a beginner to learning Korean but omg I love this podcast so much. They explain everything so well and they repeat it a few times so you can really understand how everything is pronounced. They also seem to really be enjoying what they do which is really refreshing because sometimes people do podcasts and they sound really bored but I always enjoy listening to their podcasts. Also if y’all don’t have the TTMIK workbook I highly suggest you get one because you can use it while listening to the lessons and it’s so helpful!! Thank you TTMIK!!
  • The one without nickname

  • Hp2/
    Great
    I love your podcast! Can you make a learn Korean in three months podcast.
  • Owl some
    Great stuff
    I have just casually been trying to pick up some casual Korean and this podcast is exactly what I need. I could listen to your voices all day, and some days I do! Great job :) FIGHTING!
  • bananaqhan
    Great content
    Easy to understand lessons. Entertaining and effective. Eight years later, TTMIK is still going strong. Keep it up!
  • Renovating family
    Incredible teacher!
    Better than Ivy League language classes! Highly recommend for anyone seeking to improve their written or spoken Korean. This guy is awesome.
  • burningcoin
    Great for Language Lessons, Culture Discussions, and More
    Hands down, this podcast is one of the best. The folks at Talk to Me in Korean produce incredible content ranging from their free online lessons to textbooks and podcasts to videos. I listen to these to help reinforce Korean pronunciation as a beginner student.

    Learning Korean From Start to Finish!
    This is the best way to learn Korean online. Nothing comes close the Talk to Me in Korean. Their podcasts, videos, and website are super helpful and they are always answering questions. They always use the most popular and natural sounding words and phrases so you sound more fluent. It really helps that they give a nice explanation and clear pronunciation. They also have lessons for all levels of Korean. You can find things for beginners, intermediate, or even lessons on popular slang or idioms! My favorite thing about TTMIK and why I think it is one of the best Korean language learning programs online (free or not) is that it takes things slow. Many people complain about the slow pace but it actually is smart because it gives time for the brain to fully understand, comprehend, and remember details. If it's faster you won't remember as well later on. I love TTMIK and I plan on buying their books very soon. You guys are awesome!
  • Su Park
    Good! Pod!
    I'm a Korean who living in Houston, Tx. In fact, I serched about Esl pod. This is a great pod even study English. 여기 나오는 한국어나 강의주제도 교과서적이지 않고 참 재미있습니다. 한국어 공부하시는 분들 화이팅하세요!!^^
  • CGAMahns
    You will learn korean with this app!
    I have tried many other tools to learn korean, but TTMIK is by far the best! Easy to use and understand, lessons with audio and PDF files, and the teachers and so wonderful-not only do their methods work, but they are fun to listen to as well! A must download!
  • ocanannain
    Problems with this podcast
    The first 6 podcasts of Level 1 I was able to download were terrific.... however.... ..... I'm subscribed to the TTMIK podcast through itunes and the first 6 lessons in Level 1 downloaded fine. However, no more Level 1 podcasts download until Level 1 Lesson 23 and 25. In addition, there are no Levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 podcasts available through itunes. I can't seem to get any help from the people at the website.... would love to get this issue resolved as I'd like to continue listening on my ipod.
  • riverain20851
    Great short lessons
    I love the format of the lessons, they are short and simple and yet still provide insight into the everyday use and meaning of words and phrases. However, there is some problem with my iphone and ipad podcast software that causes all the level 1-8 lessons to disappear before i have played them, and the only way i can get them back is by deleting the podcast and then resubscribing. Weird.
  • channaanne
    Awesome
    This is exactly what I've been looking for. It's so great of them to have all the lessons for free on their website. I love how patient the lessons are, moving at a bite-sized pace. And the Korean drama phrases are really fun!
  • Gensan003
    Great Program
    Thank you. I've been learning a lot. Keep it up!
  • Hanakot
    Great
    Thank you for giving us this amazing channel. It's so useful for me to learn Korean. My Korean friends are really surprised of my korean these days. Thank you so much.
  • Oksana0k
    Best, favorite Korean learning
    voices are so amazing. Best of all Korean learning.
  • Sparklepudge
    Among the Best
    Talk to Me in Korean lessons are concise, accessible, and fun thanks to this knowledgeable team of ever-encouraging and enthusiastic instructors. I've learned an incredible amount in such a short time, and I am so grateful for all their efforts at TTMIK. Check out the website as well for links to more language learning resources. Thank you, TTMIK!
  • DonnaF09
    The Best!!!
    This is the best website for learning korean! 100% better than most korean books!
  • Say yarr
    I highly recommend
    It's very useful and well-explained even if don't know anything about korean. It's better visit their site first to learn the Hangul and after that,start the begginer's lessons. You won't learn korean just if you don't want to. :D
  • Loki0000000000000001
    Fun but difficult to learn from
    This is a great course for the lower levels. But it gets less useful when in the higher levels where the dialogue feels like it's 90% English.
  • absolute korean beginner
    gamsahamnida!
    i wish there were more language learning podcasts formatted like this one, it is very natural and friendly and comes with so much extra material to help you learn in your own style, including pdf previews and scripts/notes and pdf a pdf quiz review after 20 lessons with an audio answer key that reviews it all with you. gamsahamnida! te amo mucho! gamsahamnida!
  • newAce2004
    Great videos
    I like the videos referring back to popular K-drama phrases! More, more, more!
  • Demomech
    My favorite language website
    TTMIK offers great lessons that are not only educational, but also entertaining. I love the entire staff and appreciate there help. I was amazed that they offer so many mp3 downloads and PDF files that you can for free. *If they're reading this, one thing I might change if possible is how the Itouch app works. I seem to only be able to look at the PDF or listen to the mp3, but not both at the same time.*. 감사합니다!!!
  • amgs24934
    Could [and have and will] listen for days ^.^
    The dialogue between the two is fun and enjoyable. Plus I like listening to Kyeong-eun's voice, she has a beautiful voice, she has a soft charming way of speaking, easy on the ears, making learning korean even more enjoyable and memorable.
  • Commuter_sg
    Excellent
    Whether you are interested in learning the language or you are looking to pass time during your commute, this an excellent resource for getting to know and learning the Korean language. Thumbs up!
  • Kuroush
    Ttmik
    Excellent site I listen to your lessons everyday. Thank you. Love you all. Keep up the great work. You deserve every bit of your success. I am proud of your hard and highly professional work. Proud to be your student.
  • norroway
    I wish my college Spanish classes had been this comfortable
    Each podcast is the perfect length, covering bite-sized pieces that I can then go practice. The length of the podcast makes it easy to go back and review, too--most are only 15 minutes long or less, making it easy to put one one while walking home from the train or standing on the bus. Kyungeun and Sunwoo are perfect hosts--it's just like learning Korean from one of my Korean friends, ribbing and all. Their ease with each other, and their casual vibe, helps me feel confident that I can remember the things they're teaching. I also like how they teach how actual Koreans speak, and then explain the differences between spoken and written Korean. I learned more about the Korean I was hearing in K-dramas from them in level 1 than I learned from almost a whole textbook, particularly on how particles are used or dropped, how and why certain liaisons happen in pronunciation, and so forth. Great teaching methods, great teachers, great support via the site and their FB page, and extremely engaging all around.
  • Charymander
    Question
    Where can I download lessons 1-3?? I want to start learning from the beginning.
  • Swiminthesea
    Excellent Korean lessons
    Who knew that learning Korean grammar could be so much fun? The lessons are clear and concise and presented in an organized and light-hearted manner. I am always looking forward to the next lesson or iyagi.
  • Skipper Simon
    Most amazing language podcast EVER!
    All the teachers are excellent teachers and lovers of learning language. You can tell right away the teachers are likable and have fun working together. The lessons and example sentences are really well designed, fun, and creative.
  • lepham95
    Love it!!
    Its amazing and clear and easy to understand. However, it'd be nice to have it in order (even though i think its itunes problem) and i cant download the many first videos before lvl 3 lesson 18 directly from my ipod. :(
  • Ouch Buster
    Worth it in EVERY way!
    This is truly a course to help you learn the Korean language. If you are serious about learning Korean, this one is for you.They instructors make every effort to help you learn how to speak and read the language. And what they teach what you can speak in modern Korean, not the outdated Korean like Pimsleur. Excellent work.
  • wondershot
    Not perfect, but...
    ...still pretty terrific. The great effort that the TTMIK team puts into their lessons is obvious and benefits Korean learners everywhere. Their PDFs, especially, are a studytime goldmine. I just wish that... -- they spent a little more time speaking Korean than they do chatting in English (in the lessons). --they'd cut the lessons' musical intro down from 20 seconds to 2. By the time that thing is over and the lesson is beginning, my attention is on another planet. Also, they have a great attitude... but if I hear one more their dumb "jokes" in English followed by cute chuckling I am going to smash a kimchi pot with my head. A lighthearted attitude is great, but those sort of needless tangents are excruciating when you are trying to focus and maximize your study time on the metro after work.
  • Colton Pomeroy
    정밀 좋은 Podcast!
    TTMIK, 이podcast을 만들어서 고맙습니다~ 저는 podcast로 많이 배우고 매일 들어요. 한국어를 공부하기 아주 좋아하서 좋은 선생님을 있어요:) 다시 한번 정말 고마워요!!!:)

  • taifood899
    Thank You So Much!!!
    i've been trying to learn korean since last year and i was so happy that i found this podcast! it is very helpful, very entertaining, and the pdf's are also a great added bonus for clarification on words that i can't pronounce etc. keep up the good work! 너무 감사합니다!
  • SudsyMcGoo
    Helpful and Entertaining
    Talk to Me in Korean has everything a good podcast should. Not only are the lessons effective and clear, they are also entertaining! The light hearted banter between the two hosts gives this podcast a fun edge that everyone can enjoy. Not only is it fun to listen to, the podcast has an extremely supportive website complete with PDFs and supportive critique from the teachers. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced Korean student, the variety of material this podcast provides: lessons, videos, vocabulary and cultural shorts, and sessions completely in Korean called "Iyagi", makes this one of the most helpful language podcasts I've ever listened to. Thank you, TTMIK!
