Talk To Me In Korean Grammar Book Level 01: Korean Grammar Lessons, Vocabulary Lists, Sample Dialogues, and Exercise Questions for Beginners (Free Online Audio and Subscription-Based Online Lecture Available) Paperback – September 21, 2015

My daughter is learning Korean and really wanted this book. So far so good she us using this everyday.

Going into learning Korean I had a bit of an upper hand by already knowing some Japanese. Korean and English are so different, which makes it a little complicated, but let me tell you, I am having soooo much fun! I am glad that I found these books! Would definitely recommend this book. It's even better if you get the workbook too! It really helps to remember everything!

This is a great book to learn Korean on your own. I love this book it’s very helpful. I’m able to understand conversations and words better. I will be buying all the levels after I’m done with this one.

Don't forget the separate workbook, you can use the free online audio supplements as well

Talk to Me in Korean (TTMIK) is, by far, the best system available for learning Korean. Yes, as with any language, you have to do comprehensive work--reading, listening, writing answers, journaling words that are hard to remember, etc., but TTMIK makes it very easy to manage all of that because their books and website basically set up a structure for you. Just follow the books and lessons, and you'll be on your way.The only components I added are a blank vocabulary journal that I bought on Amazon for $4.99. I use it to repeatedly write out words I'm struggling with. I also make sure to listen to Korean from other sources: I watch KBS World on TV because their shows often include Korean captions highlighting different elements of a program, so it reinforces the Hangul that I'm learning with TTMIK. It also helps build skills. I listen to Korean music (not just K-Pop). Videos on YouTube often include Korean captions for the lyrics, and I've learned words and heard other pronunciations that way. And I have returned to my favorite K-Dramas, BUT, now I watch with the KOREAN captions since I already know the plot. I have learned so many words that way, but the anchor is TTMIK. In fact, I love it when someone in a K-Drama says something the way TTMIK says people say things. For example, the official way to say something may be one way, but people will drop syllables, while still using polite language. I can totally hear it now!Korean will be my fourth language. Other than my native English, I learned two other languages fairly easily, but I was struggling to find a good system for learning Korean. I couldn't find a program with the proper structure that I know is needed to learn a language until I started TTMIK. I'm good to go, now, learning more every day.I highly recommend this program for learning Korean.5 STARS.

So I have some bias, because this book is exactly what I was looking for. If you're like me, you spent some time learning hangul on your own, but trying to find any other resource for learning Korean is hard. I've tried apps, videos, websites, nothing really clicked with me.This book was the answer to my problems. Right away the book starts teaching you phrases and the context behind each word. It offers good explanations in an easy to understand way, I've learned more Korean in the one week of having this book than the few months I've spent rummaging the internet for resources.That being said, I can't ignore that this book isn't technically good for beginners. Knowing how to read Hangul is highly recommended if you pick up this book, but that's easy enough to do on your own. Giving it four stars because the information is extremely valuable, but you do need a little bit of knowledge before walking into this book.

I like this instruction book a great deal. I bought the workbook to go with it, and that gave extra practice for the instruction. The instruction progresses logically from the first Hangul phrases one must know, and moves into grammar: verb, verb tenses, markers, noun, pronoun, subjects etc. The lesson topics are nicely integrated so that the learner learns a bit of each before moving on. Short dialogues are also helpful.The very first lessons--greetings, etc--are a bit daunting at first, but as the lessons progress and the learner sticks with it, the flow builds confidence and ability, slowly, but surely.One thing that pleased me very much was the presentation of verb conjugation. I have been taking another course, concurrently, and frankly, I was experiencing great frustration over the overly complicated and not-as-clever-as-they-think explanations for the spellings of verb endings. Then I came to the chapter of TTMIK about verb conjugations. With the caution that there would be a few exceptions, the instructions were, "If this is the case, do this. If that is the case, do that." So simple! So logical! So clean and easy to understand. If I hadn't already liked this book, that, itself, would have sold me on the content.There is a link provided for downloadable supplements in pronunciation etc. This is also helpful--with a caveat. The site asks you to download the latest flash player. I always have the latest flash player because Apple keeps you up to date with software. I also check with Adobe to see that I do, in fact, have the latest. Nevertheless, the site wants me to download again. I am reluctant to do this because there are so many dodgy sites that offer to download a phony Adobe flash malware. I want to trust this site; I know they are honest. Yet this is a concern.I would also like to see more vocabulary introduced a little earlier.I have finished this first title and am so pleased that I have ordered the four following volumes: 1-5 in all. If more are published, I will order them.Thanks to TTMIK for an excellent language course

I highly recommend “Talk to Me in Korean Level 1”! This book is perfect for beginners and includes an audio download, which really helps with pronunciation. The lessons are well-structured and easy to understand, making it a breeze to learn at your own pace. I love how the content is practical and engaging, keeping me motivated. If you’re looking to start your Korean learning journey, this is definitely the way to go!
