Summary
Talk To Me In Korean Level 1 is a paperback book based on the podcast lessons available on TalkToMeInKorean。com。 This book is specifically designed for absolute beginners who are self-studying and includes the fundamentals of Korean， such as hello ， thank you ， and essential grammar points。 Additionally， because this book caters to those who are learning Korean without a teacher or formal lessons， review questions and exercises can be found in this book along with sample dialogues and reading material about Korean culture。 Level 1 focuses more on conversation and the spoken style of the language rather than the literary or academic style; therefore， you will be making sentences and having conversations in no time。 This book has a set of MP3 files available for FREE download at TalkToMeInKorean。com which include all major vocabulary words， expressions， sample sentences， and dialogues used throughout the book。

I never thought of adding that one but it's a book！ That I finished！ Why didn't I think of adding it here too？ I started self-studying Korean during Lockdown 2 and TTMIK was such an important part of my learning！ They still are， mind。 Their courses （be it on their website， YT or via their books） are really well done， always fun and easy to study on your own and that first book was extremely helpful。I never fail to recommand them to people who want to start Korean， they're the best resources out I never thought of adding that one but it's a book！ That I finished！ Why didn't I think of adding it here too？ I started self-studying Korean during Lockdown 2 and TTMIK was such an important part of my learning！ They still are， mind。 Their courses （be it on their website， YT or via their books） are really well done， always fun and easy to study on your own and that first book was extremely helpful。I never fail to recommand them to people who want to start Korean， they're the best resources out there to me and I'm thrilled I found them so early on， they made the early process so much smoother than I expected and I still use their resources now。 。。。more

Les livres de TTMK sont tellement biens， j’ai beaucoup aimé apprendre avec eux， leurs illustrations sont drôles et les exercices au top ！ Il y a même des pages avec des tips pour voyager en Corée du sud : comme les places to visit， how to take a taxi in korea etcDommage que j’ai arrêté le coréen :（

Highly recommend！I REALLY love this and other TTMIK books。 It has full package， from good method， adequate amount of vocabulary and grammar lessons， to great illustration/design。 They even provide audio app for easier audio playback。Better go with workbook and memrise/quizlet to review learned lessons frequently。

Pretty concise book on some korean language grammer rules。 This covers half the content of "Korean made simple" without any significant added vocabulary。 Pretty concise book on some korean language grammer rules。 This covers half the content of "Korean made simple" without any significant added vocabulary。 。。。more

Read 8/8/214。5 starsI finally finished book 1。 I would highly recommend this book for anyone who’s trying to learn Korean。 It explains sentence structure very well。

TTMIK Never lets me down！I’ve learned these grammar points years ago on TTMIK website for free as it always is but I wanted to review the materials because I have felt stuck in my Korean learning。I thought it would be a breeze to go through but to be honest there were some nuggets that I have read time and time again but reading it through this book’s explanation really helped it finally click。 I love the digital format so I can go back and read my notes and review the parts I’ve highlighted。 Al TTMIK Never lets me down！I’ve learned these grammar points years ago on TTMIK website for free as it always is but I wanted to review the materials because I have felt stuck in my Korean learning。I thought it would be a breeze to go through but to be honest there were some nuggets that I have read time and time again but reading it through this book’s explanation really helped it finally click。 I love the digital format so I can go back and read my notes and review the parts I’ve highlighted。 Also I love the mini practice sessions they have after each chapter to reinforce what you’ve learned。 There is a workbook to go along with it but since I knew a majority of the materials I didn’t feel the need to purchase that however if you are new to Korean or are having a hard time grasping it I’ve seen the workbook in person and it looks really helpful。Now I’m going to continue with my studying journey their next grammar book！ Best of luck to your Korean learning journey。 。。。more

이 책은 정말 좋아。 너무 재미있어요 ！Along with the workbook， I find this very helpful for learning the language。 I study 1 lesson every day so I finished the book in a month。 The lessons aren't overwhelming and there's access to downloadable audio on their website。 There are 9 more levels and I'm happy with my progress。 이 책은 정말 좋아。 너무 재미있어요 ！Along with the workbook， I find this very helpful for learning the language。 I study 1 lesson every day so I finished the book in a month。 The lessons aren't overwhelming and there's access to downloadable audio on their website。 There are 9 more levels and I'm happy with my progress。 。。。more

Great for self-study; I like the focus on basic， functioning fundamentals over intense vocabulary lists。 Does a good job of simultaneously teaching you useful things and reinforcing those things while taking the time to explain linguistic concepts native English speakers would find especially challenging。 If you've learned another Eastern language like Japanese or Chinese this might be too slow-paced for you， but as a beginner I thought the pace was perfect。 Great for self-study; I like the focus on basic， functioning fundamentals over intense vocabulary lists。 Does a good job of simultaneously teaching you useful things and reinforcing those things while taking the time to explain linguistic concepts native English speakers would find especially challenging。 If you've learned another Eastern language like Japanese or Chinese this might be too slow-paced for you， but as a beginner I thought the pace was perfect。 。。。more

Good level 1 book， most of the online curriculum is free， including podcasts。 Used this with Memrise vocabulary lists to learn the basics。 Ready for the level 2 book， but I'm going to do the Go Billy Korean Made Simple book first， to reinforce what I've learned at level 1。 Good level 1 book， most of the online curriculum is free， including podcasts。 Used this with Memrise vocabulary lists to learn the basics。 Ready for the level 2 book， but I'm going to do the Go Billy Korean Made Simple book first， to reinforce what I've learned at level 1。 。。。more

This is a perfect book for beginner Korean learners。 My downside to this book is that it doesn't teach you Hangul。 It is perfect for learners who are traveling to Korea and need survival phrases！ This is a perfect book for beginner Korean learners。 My downside to this book is that it doesn't teach you Hangul。 It is perfect for learners who are traveling to Korea and need survival phrases！ 。。。more

Beautiful book design-wise。 Would definitely recommend， in conjunction with the workbook。 Was quite repetitive in some parts， but overall a good introductory self-study course book。

So helpful with starting to learn Korean。 A lot of it is similar to their audio on their website， but there are a few differences。 Great for helping solidify their podcast！

I am writing a review for the book， not the website （which I will definitely check out）。 It may be unfair to rate this book without having also bought the workbook， but there were a couple of things I felt they could have done better。 First， I found the brief section on Hangul in the beginning was not enough to prepare me to understand the following exercises。 I'd have liked more space devoted to learning Hangul。 Second， the book's print was very small and faint， making it even harder to read。 I I am writing a review for the book， not the website （which I will definitely check out）。 It may be unfair to rate this book without having also bought the workbook， but there were a couple of things I felt they could have done better。 First， I found the brief section on Hangul in the beginning was not enough to prepare me to understand the following exercises。 I'd have liked more space devoted to learning Hangul。 Second， the book's print was very small and faint， making it even harder to read。 In addition， I felt it was not as clearly written and accessible as my daughter's Korean for Beginners book， which was excellent and cost about the same。 。。。more

I liked how simple the explanations were。 I wish that there could have been more detail here and there， but it made getting into learning the language a lot less intimidating！

I really enjoyed studying with this book！ Highly recommend it！ Clear， simple and easy to study by yourself！ Thank you very much TTMIK， for creating such a great material！

This is a good introduction into learning Korean grammar。 There are a few errors here and there in English and sometimes the romanized readings are missing， so I think that if you start with this without starting the Korean alphabet， there will be places to feel lost really fast。 Some of the exercises at the end of the chapters are like curve balls。 They'll ask to translate something from Korean to English or vice versa， but you haven't either come across the way to say it correctly in that chap This is a good introduction into learning Korean grammar。 There are a few errors here and there in English and sometimes the romanized readings are missing， so I think that if you start with this without starting the Korean alphabet， there will be places to feel lost really fast。 Some of the exercises at the end of the chapters are like curve balls。 They'll ask to translate something from Korean to English or vice versa， but you haven't either come across the way to say it correctly in that chapter or you won't remember certain words to form the translation。 As much work as the exercises need， it's easy to follow。 。。。more

I'm really proud of myself for finishing this first textbook。 I will say I am getting the grasp of it but definitely have not retained 100% of everything yet。 Each test I either passed or maybe only missed a few review questions but I will continue to review until it all goes into long term memory！ 한국어 재미있어요！ I'm really proud of myself for finishing this first textbook。 I will say I am getting the grasp of it but definitely have not retained 100% of everything yet。 Each test I either passed or maybe only missed a few review questions but I will continue to review until it all goes into long term memory！ 한국어 재미있어요！ 。。。more

（yes i'm adding this to my read books because languages take so much time ！）Four star textbook （though I don't have much experience）。I'd say that it lacks in the amount of vocabulary it has within the book。 It is fairly easy to get vocab for Korean; I usually just go to how to speak korean。 （yes i'm adding this to my read books because languages take so much time ！）Four star textbook （though I don't have much experience）。I'd say that it lacks in the amount of vocabulary it has within the book。 It is fairly easy to get vocab for Korean; I usually just go to how to speak korean。 。。。more

this would be a phenomenal place to start for literally anyone wanting to learn Korean， granted they learn Hangul first。 tragically， I'm apparently far past this level from obsessive attempts at translating sentences the past few months so。。 I must move on。 this would be a phenomenal place to start for literally anyone wanting to learn Korean， granted they learn Hangul first。 tragically， I'm apparently far past this level from obsessive attempts at translating sentences the past few months so。。 I must move on。 。。。more

The whole series is one of the best Korean grammar books I could find so far。 As a person who's more into studying through sample sentences and less about linguistical background of the language per se， the simple explanations were good enough。 Good as a self-taught book or just for reviewing your knowledge。 The whole series is one of the best Korean grammar books I could find so far。 As a person who's more into studying through sample sentences and less about linguistical background of the language per se， the simple explanations were good enough。 Good as a self-taught book or just for reviewing your knowledge。 。。。more

Three years ago I stumbled upon this course。 I really wanted to start to learn Korean， but this course wasn't at all what I expected。 I didn´t finish reading it。 Now， after three years I've read it。 I´ve grasped easily the grammar but after filling the gaps with other sources。 I didn´t recommend this course to an absolute beginner。 Three years ago I stumbled upon this course。 I really wanted to start to learn Korean， but this course wasn't at all what I expected。 I didn´t finish reading it。 Now， after three years I've read it。 I´ve grasped easily the grammar but after filling the gaps with other sources。 I didn´t recommend this course to an absolute beginner。 。。。more

An excellent curriculum to start learning Korean。 And their online resources （website， Twitter， YouTube） are fantastic。

Can‘t believe I already worked through the whole book and I can only recommend it！ It‘s simple to understand， explained really nicely and has a beautiful design。 The only thing I found kind of irritating is that this book contains the exact input you can also find on their website。 The only difference are the tasks at the end of each lesson。 That disappointed me a little bit and I won’t buy the next Lesson books as I can easily study with the online content。

TTMIK es un libro del que siempre （SIEMPRE） escuché hablar por parte de toda la comunidad de personas que estamos aprendiendo coreano。 Siempre hubo alguien que lo quiso leer o que lo leyó。 Además， para sorpresa mía， jamás vi una reseña mala de este libro e incluso en goodreads no parece haber mucha gente a la que no le gustó。 Por eso mismo tuve muchas expectativas sobre estos libros para estudiar， los veía y me fascinaba la idea de poder estudiar con uno， pero lamentablemente las expectativas fu TTMIK es un libro del que siempre （SIEMPRE） escuché hablar por parte de toda la comunidad de personas que estamos aprendiendo coreano。 Siempre hubo alguien que lo quiso leer o que lo leyó。 Además， para sorpresa mía， jamás vi una reseña mala de este libro e incluso en goodreads no parece haber mucha gente a la que no le gustó。 Por eso mismo tuve muchas expectativas sobre estos libros para estudiar， los veía y me fascinaba la idea de poder estudiar con uno， pero lamentablemente las expectativas fueron muy altas。Primero tengo que decir que ya llevo cuatro años estudiando el idioma， pero decidí leer el primer libro para poder repasar desde un principio，como siempre hago cada vez que practico el idioma en una página/libro nuevo， y estoy convencida de que la experiencia que tengo no fue motivo por el cual le puse tres estrellas。Para empezar a explicar los motivos， primero tengo que decir que para leer este libro es necesario una base del vocabulario， cosa que a mí por supuesto no me afectó， pero que a alguien que no sabe NADA del idioma obviamente no le va a resultar conveniente。 Desconozco si en su página oficial tienen el vocabulario gratis para que todos puedan escucharlo o no， pero no me resultó muy bueno el que no esté en el primer libro。Mi segundo motivo， y último， es que no convenció del todo la forma de explicar。 Sí， enseña bien， lo admito， y te pone tantos ejemplos como sean necesarios para que uno lo pueda entender， pero para mi opinión la lectura era un tanto informal。 Soy de las personas que a la hora de aprender algo， prefieren un lenguaje muy formal， por lo cual no me convenció del todo。 Era divertido y fácil de leer pero， por como soy yo， no sentía que me servía。 A muchas personas les pudo haber ayudado y entiendo en parte por qué se habla tan bien de TTMIK， tiene una forma de explicar muy buena， pero al mismo tiempo no sé si continuar con los libros o no porque no convenció del todo。Le pongo tres estrellas porque， a pesar de todo lo que dije， se entienden todos los temas que uno va repasando。It's just my opinion i'm sorry ;（ 。。。more
