I'm so off topic here, but orange looks really good on you.
I was thinking the same hahahahahah
He looks good on anything, I agree with you though haha
Is that sweater for sale?
마자!!
Same! The colour really pops so well!
As a native Korean who also teaches Korean language, I must say, your language learning tips are very helpful even to us. So I am reviewing your books with some Korean conversation😊 Thanks a lot for great books!🇰🇷
Your videos are helpful too! :) it’s cool seeing two of the channels I watch interacting!
민아와 진아 씨의 채널 너무 재미있어요!!!!
감사합니다!
hey choi sisters 👋🤠
True
People around me make fun of me when I tell them that I want to learn Korean. I live in Belgium and therefore according to them I have no reason to learn Korean. But when I read all your comments, it gives me courage not to give up. Thank you all and especially to TTMIK.
1 year later…how are you going?
same for me...
Then choose better people to sorround yourself with!
me too.. also from belgium... same experience...
They don't know your life. Do you honey!
I am 70 years old trying to learn Korean. I find your tips very helpful. My challenge is hearing the nuances between each word when spoken in Korean. In contrast to the romanization of the alphabet. I really like your memory tips thank you so much.
hey good luck!! although I'm a year late hahaha
Be patient, persistent... and have fun!
Advice that will help:
Dont have fluency as the only goal... But make every step taken towards it also a goal.
It feels so rewarding when understanding a new concept, word or grammatical rule if you have them all as goals along the way. Even if fluency is far away.
" I'm really pretty. Why am I so pretty?. Mirror, Mirror, who is the fairest of all I'm the world." ,😂😂 Lol. Thank you ttmik for the great tips ❤️
Hahahahha I saw that too
i loved that
I love TALK TO ME IN KOREAN! You have helped me SO much and even though I’m young and a student without money I saved from my food money to get some books after using the free resources online and I really love everything that you do! My native language is Spanish so if you ever need to hire a translator or anything, even if it’s minimal, related to español, I will be the first to apply!
Thank you for studying with us, v lue! We'll keep that in mind 😊
@@talktomeinkorean 진심으로 감사합니다!
@@vluessky hola! Sabes pues me gustaría empezar coreano, y quisiera saber si me podrías dar una mano, para ver que libros comprar y como llevarla de la mejor manera, si no te es de mucha molestia. Graaacias
Our Korean teacher make us play games, show us videos, ask us to write a jingle about that specific topic we just tackled, and more fun things and there's always what she called a "Highlight moment".
I started studying Korean at the beginning of the year and I'm finally have noticed myself being able to read some words 😂 maybe it's because I'm older so it's taking longer to stick but it's super exciting when I see Korean texts and understand some of the words lol...
Good luck, I recently started learning korean let's do this together 파이팅
@@joonsbicycle8330hey what about now?
I can´t wait for the day Hyunwoo speaks German. The German community would melt away :) I´m so happy I can improve both my Korean and English with TTMIK. Thank you team TTMIK!

Jokes aside, thank you for this video it was really helpful :D I find with Memrise I tend to figure out the answer from looking at the multiple choice answers, or the letters availble and I think if someone asked me without visual guides I wouldn't know the answer, so this is a useful poke to tell me to use other methods as well! I'm looking forward to trying out the new TTMIK feature, thank you for that! :D
oh i use memrise as well! ik what you mean, but i like how it explains the roots of all the words. I also take notes tho, writing things down helps me remember them
1. Repeat
2. Context
3. Different Angles
These tips are really a lifesaver!! Will have my KIIP test this Saturday but I really don't know what study habit to follow. Glad I run into this video! Thank you TTMIK!! 😭😭
The flashcard boxes oh my god, I used to do the same thing when i was in high school learning french. Of course now I’ve migrated to anki as well (i struggled a lot at first and almost gave up on the program but it was ultimately worth it). I’m now learning korean and chinese simultaneously and i find it really rewarding when I can remember grammar points, vocabulary or characters by reviewing just a few days later. Frustration is like poison for language learning, especially when it makes you feel like there’s something wrong with you for not being able to remember even simple things.
Thank you for the advice! Repetition and revision are really the best tools if immersion is not a possibility.
Hey Ive also just started studying korean and chinese ..which apps are good for chinese studying? Do you have PDFs!??
I'll never forget the word 냉장고 bc of RM repeating a few times while kinda drunk 😂 "in the 냉장고?? - yeah bro the 냉장고!"

냉장고 is refrigerator
I’m a new learner and I’ve spent about a month now on level 1... I’ll probably be another few weeks at least before I move on to level 2 because I figured out from my experience learning Spanish that if you don’t have a firm grasp of the basics, everything else is going to be even more difficult to really absorb and incorporate into your life. To me, you can’t really think about it as “learning” Korean until you start “LIVING” Korean, in other words... make it a point (no matter what level you’re at) to constantly ask yourself “how would I say that in Korean?”. Also, as has been pointed out a million times, surround yourself with the language. Listen to TTMIK podcasts, watch videos, listen to music. Read. Write. Do whatever you can to live the language and a point 현웃씨 made in a video a few years ago has helped me a lot. Keep a journal. Even if it’s as simple as mine currently is, write a word. Make a sentence with it. Expand on that sentence as your vocabulary grows... it really helps and my confidence is growing as my vocabulary increases also!
Thats that, also try not to sit round too long too, keep in the middle))
@@simon.i3119 true. Since I posted this I actually am on level 2 and making progress. I’m taking my time to try to understand as much as I can on each lesson without dwelling on them too long. I don’t want to fall into the “paralysis by analysis” trap either. Like most areas of life, avoiding the edges and staying in the middle is the way to go.
I didn't want to learn korean with english videos, because this is not my first language, but your teaching is so good, and your english is just so clear for me, that I'm here loving your channel. Thanks for the lessons, you are a really good teacher!
"A lot of your new knowledge evaporates" I'm so guilty hahhahaha it evaporates faster than i expected
It seems so obvious to review right after the study session but I've never done it before and it's so useful!
현우 씨 congrats for your beautiful Spanish! And thank you for so useful tips on learning a language. I've started Level 4 and I sometimes feel disappointed or lose interest when I forget what I already studied.
정말 감사합니다!

Korean is my sixth language and fifth foreign language. And it’s the only language I’m the most motivated to learn. Thank you for the tips!!💜
와...언어천재.
Wow. Language genius.🤩🤩🤩
I've been following TTMIK off and on for 4 years now! I am so thankful for the free lessons and I just subscribed for premium lessons :) I love all the E-Book and paperback book options. You guys really make learning Korean fun and hopeful!! All the tips are amazing!!
"ESTOY LISTO" you speak well. I speak Spanish and study Korean in English.
I was using ttmik for 4 years. I find that I remember the words that were broken down the most. I try to do that on my own now. Thank you for everything!!!
TTMIK always comes up with the most on-point, practical tips. Masters of pedagogy, seriously.
Thank you so much. I needed this encouragement! It’s so nice to know it’s not just me that looks back at some notes and barely recognises what I learnt! It’s difficult when you don’t get to use the language in daily life but hopefully if I just keep going it will click eventually 😊
It really will! The important thing is to never give up 💪
I literally completed levels3 -5 over the past three months and decided to stop for two months and go back review using the review quizzes and sample dialogue for each lesson at each level. I am almost done with level 3 and heard about this feature. Honestly, this is going to be so helpful for all of us. Having gone through an entire level 3 again , I can only imagine how much hard work it would have taken by all of you to do it for all levels. Thank you as always for all your outstanding and dedicated efforts :) I truly honestly appreciate it :D
If Hyunwoo 선생님 is my professor in my online class, I am surely got my perfect attendance with an A+ as my grade. I am really focused on what he is saying. You are such a great teacher!
Well thank you ttmik I learn all the lessons from level 1 to level 9 I read korean better and faster now I try to to memorize some words and phrases and improve my listening and speaking I love you
A write ✍️ lotttsssss of notes so I review by rewriting alllll my notes and that movie analogy really helped.
Wow Hyunwoo, I'm so glad to hear your story about learning English with boxes, and I'm even more delighted that I got to hear you speaking Spanish! 😂
I love that you use examples in Spanish 🙌🏼
totally not procrastinating learning/studying anatomy by watching a video on studying korean... thanks for such a helpful video!!
the separate boxes for the days of the week is such a good idea! All my flashcards are just on keyrings and its exhausting just to think about going through hundreds of cards and doesn't really help me with the tricky words. I'm gonna try your way, i think it'll be much better for me. Thanks!
It was also really nice when you all did quick review before ending the live classes thank you again
A: I bought a present for you.
B: 네? [ne?] (What? You did?)
A: I said I bought a present for you?
B: 네? (What?)
A: Forget it.
B: 네? (Pardon?)
I really laughing on this so hard, because I don't know if my expression is right or wrong HAHAHAHA.. I get the point
When Gang-tae from the It's Okay to Not Be Okay series yelled "salanghae!!" over & over I remembered it easily after that 😂 I've also watched the series like 3x so that helps!
한글 공부 중이면 댓글을 한글로 조금씩 써보세요! ^^ 한글이 정말 빨리 늘꺼에요! ^^If you are studying Hangul, write comments in Korean little by little! ^^ Hangul will improve really fast! ^^✨✨✨
All my TTMIK sample sentences (plus sentences from other places), are in Anki. Not just the words. And they are there for both sides of the card (English to Korean, and Korean to English). That way my grammar review is automatically part of my daily word and language practice.
Another tip is DON'T write the English part of the card in perfect English sentences!! You don't need perfect English for this. Your native language is really just a tool to initially get meaning, as briefly as possible. In my view, from the moment you learn a new Korean word/phrase/expression, you are effectively trying to leave English behind, so to speak. Also, I find that the LITERAL meaning is MUCH more valuable than the perfect English translation. It helps you understand the grammar when you see it used in other different ways. It helps get the word order into your head. It actually helps you learn other related words because you have the literal meaning in your head instead of some very rough (and often unhelpful) English translation. For example, "그렇지만" isn't exactly "but" - it kind of means "like that even though" and if you think of it like that, it works a LOT better than thinking of it as English "but". It also then helps you understand a lot of other closely related expressions. And perhaps most importantly, Korean English order helps to get your brain away from THINKING in English - that's the goal really. Write it in Korean-English, that is, re-order the words into Korean word order, eg "그가 저보다 더 잘 해요" on my card is written "(PL) He, I than, more well do." (PL -polite informal) on the English side. The commas denote the phrasing to help me understand the meaning. If I'm unsure that I will understand the actual meaning later, I can always put a literal meaning, "He is better than me at doing that" in the comments (but I very rarely need that - the Korean English word order is perfectly understandable). It takes you away from the whole 'missing subject' thing, where a Korean sentences can very ambiguously mean several very different English sentences (particularly with pronouns), so when I read a Korean ordered English from Anki, I immediately know that it can have several meanings depending on context - context that English defines in detail and Korean does not.
I also use the tags to tell me where I got the words/phrases/sentences from, EG, this one is tagged "TTMIK_Lvl2_L21" in my Anki, so not only are all the language examples for each language point for each lesson together, if I need to I can always refer back to my lesson PDFs. Sometimes I get new language phrases or pieces from UA-cam or elsewhere. When I do, I simply copy and past the URL into the comments field so that I can always go back and revisit something that I may be unsure about. This is particularly handy when you learn a new word that is similar in meaning to an older word. It's important to differentiate similar words asap. I always do that immediately, so that I can ensure that I learn the meanings as close as possible to the real Korean meanings. A few times I've had to relearn a word meaning precisely because of this. New words often change your understandings of old words, because Korean has a LOT more words that are situational than English does, I think. In English we reuse old words in new ways. Korean ancestors seem to have needed new and different words for different situations, lol, eg different words for 'wash' depending upon what you are washing. So I have to constantly rethink my understood definitions of Korean words! Whew!! :-))
One note, though...The Korean add-on for Anki is now broken. :-((( It broke a few months ago. The creator disappeared and despite pleas from users, no-one else took up the mantle and updated it. We now have to manually import sound files and Hanja (download, copy and paste), and it's very time-consuming. It's really sad, because it was a great add-on. Anki is still usable, but it's nowhere near as good as it was a few months ago.... :-(((((
I´m from Argentina. I study Korean with yours courses and it's so easy and clear.
Your pronunciation in Spanish is almost flawless, good work!
Thank you very much!!
I agree. Flash cards are so helpful!! I write everything down, write a journal weekly, and I also feel that language exchange with a native speaker is a big help. Even though I have a teacher helping me though the ttmik system, when I'm studying on my own it's good to have these study skills.
Okay so the 7 box flashcard trick was something really useful for me thankyou TTMIK💜
I think this goes along perfectly with another suggestion you made which is to journal everyday. Today I studied...TTMIK Level 2, Chapter 11 was about...I appreciate any and all tips. Also, thank you for adding all of the reviews at the end of the Levels!!
How's your progress now?
TTMIK doing so much for us Korean language learners. 😭😭😭 Just really so thankful for all the contents, books, etc. We're blessed to have TTMIK!! 정만 고마워요!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ❤❤❤
tip for anyone learning with TTMIK: there are courses for all of the essential korean levels on Memrise!! so first i listen/read the lesson on TTMIK and write down notes about the grammar introduced, and then i use Memrise to memorise (duh) the vocabulary :)
Spacial repetitions!! A good book to read for more information on this topic is “fluent forever”☺️
Thank you sonsenim.I have been learning korean for 6 months.+Thank you very much for your great lessons here. I'm from suriranka(srilanka)
Korean is my 2nd foreign language. But my experience learning this language is totally different from my first, so this video was very interesting and helpful
I am teaching Korean on the online platform and have the most student among Korean tutors.
The more I taught Korean to my students, the more I realized that most people do not 복습 on their own.
Since that time, I have tried to guide my students to do 복습 on their own, and it was so much worth it!
Personally, I think when you learn something, not only language but also any subjects, having the time for 복습 is way more important than learning new things.
As a Korean who teaches Korean to people all over the world. I hope every Korean learner have a "good habit" to have a 복습 : )
i'm finishing up my 3rd semester of french course and realized i don't remember most of the basic stuff from my first semester and now if i want to actually be able to use french, i'm going to have to go back to the very first chapter and re-learn everything. you're very right, reviewing regularly isn't as bad as having to start again from scratch :(
Try some French learning apps and watching French shows and movies.
Oh damn!!! Lol coming out with that Spaniard accent, wasn't expecting that, nice job 👍
Ps thanks for the tips I've been trying to find the right sites/programs to use and I think I've got it!
Omg! I can't tell you how glad I am that I watched this video today.
It helped me so much.
For a long time I fehlt stuck and I didn't really know what to do. I wasn't making any progress and I didn't know how to go on with learning korean.
After I watched this video I did what you said.
I downloaded a Flashcard app and put in ALL vocabulary from the "My first 500 korean words" book.
I realised that It helped so much to just Spend some time with the Korean language... And making some connections between the words and similar words.. I became more and more confident. And After that day of reviewing so many words and structures I found my Motivation again and somehow I feel like I understand korean even better. Just because I was spending some time with the words and similar words Wich are connected to the Vocabulary in the book.
Thank you so so much. I will review my vocabulary now ona daily Basis because it really makes a difference.
감사합니다👍🏼🤗💪🏻
your advice is really so valuable. I, who am from Greece, must fully understand the English language, but I translate it into Greek and then understand Korean. In the beginning it was so difficult for me. But with the tips and the way you explain them it is one of the most beautiful moments in studying Korean.
The review method you used for english was super smart!
please make an app that works like your boxes!!! i love that idea!!!! lots of apps we have already are great of course, but the idea of deciding where to put each word or phrase depending on how confident you feel about it is unique i think!!!!! i would love to use this method!!!!!
You can teach korean really well.
I loved this video. I have a tutor but I feel like I've started backwards and can't remember most words. I'm going to follow this video
I needed this video. I had definitely gotten caught up in learning new material until I realized I had forgotten much of the old material. Eventually I had forgotten so much that it was becoming difficult to learn new grammar points because I had forgotten older points that were necessary to learn the new ones. Definitely taking a step back to review the older stuff
Thank you for reminding us to review! I feel like it's really important so we won't forget it later
using flashcards really help me to understand korean alphabets and numbers fast. so flashcards is really effective way for you to learn new languages
These really helps. 선생님....
i love your podcasts tho i know that's very old but i keep on repeating it..
A great tip I can give you guys is to pay closer attention to what ur learning, this way you won't need to study it again .As he said , it's boring. So make sure to understand the topic
maybe i'm just old-fashioned, but the 7 boxes with flashcards sounds more engaging than just an app >.
I agreeee
@@maryannmichael638 why do you need to put several “eeeeee” at the end of the word?
So confusing when you know more than one language. I speak French, English and when I started learning Spanish, I was speaking English sometimes, mixing up the words lol I would love to learn Korean, but it looks so hard!!!! Thanks for the great advice :)
Thank you for this video ✌🏼 also... your Spanish is incredible
omg we are so close to 1 million Korean learners!! I'm so proud
From my point of view as a 7 language speaker and lerner the most difficult part is "start your second language"; I'm Spanish and I started English when I was 12 and it was HORRIBLE because it didn't matter how much I studied that I couldn't improve, but I didn't give up and one day suddenly my head made "click" and everything got sense! Since that moment my English got better and better. Today I'm 21 and I can proudly say that I'm on my last year at university (I study German, Italian and Portuguese Philology) and I can prove that once you get used to your second language, the rest of them comes along easily.
i did this reviewing thing (manually) when i was studying for my highschool finals and it's very effective.. idk why i never thought about aplying it to language learning as well.. thank you!
Consume compressible input everyday for years. Automatic and natural form of reviewing.
I agree with these types! I was studying Korean for a bit and stayed at the beginner level for a while...but after I started doing these I was able to reach conversational within a year!
Wow! I was just getting ready this week to sit down with my Level 1-6 books and review them, and here is your new feature! What great timing! Thank you.
How is it coming along??
@@hugoworldg8933 Considering I made that post 8 months ago, 🙃 it's coming along quite well. I managed my review and am going right along, with a side trip on 500 First Words, which is in a great format!

I appreciate your sense of humor. Looking forward to learning Korean with you as a sub.
Have been learning Korean for three months by now and I’m having my first exam in two weeks ((( Thank you for your videos they help a lot! Wish me luck, I’m really scared 😱
i remember the words i pick up from songs super easily, sometimes i have lightbulbs moments when i recognise a word that i’ve heard multiple times in different songs and i will never forget eheh
Thank you so much! I also learned a new word today - 복습. Will be using it with my friends from now on 💜
The editing is so darn cool
Game changer. Huhu to be honest i barely knew korean vocabs its hard to retain the vocabs in my head 😭😭😭 I'm honestly reviewing for eps topik exam this coming 2021 and there are tons of vocabularies. 🤯

4:08 re-learning is also something i hate even as a student back then. anyways, i am seriously considering adding name tags/things in my house esp. in the kitchen for condiments labels or drawers/cabinets in korean so it's easier to memorize things found at home.

Great ideas! Simple and useful! And, paper and pen are the best way to go in remembering the new words.
