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. If you need additional review or supplemental material to practice what you have learned in the Level 1 book, please pick up a copy of Talk To Me In Korean Level 1 Workbook!

Title: Helpful, logical, and clear instruction. Well recommended.
Review: 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

Title: Almost level one
Review: I am just over halfway done with this book and It has been great so far! Although it will not teach you how to read/write in Hangul. I didn’t expect it too but you should do that first and then this book will make much more sense and have greater application. Before starting any textbook work, I worked through to section 2 unit 10 of duolingo. Because of what I learned on duolingo I was able to read and write comfortably. So far there have been no grammar concepts I haven’t seen before as well as very few words I haven’t studied before. I have loved the simple conversations and multiple examples of the concepts. After finishing the textbook the first time independently I plan to go through with the audio. As well as practice writing and speaking my own sentences with the grammar from each chapter. This textbook gave me a greater push to formulate and speak sentences on my own. And have confidence doing so. I love the conversational approach. If you find this textbook not beginner enough work through duolingo and you will soon be comfortable with it!

Title: good starter books
Review: Very good books. the quality is really on top. You can also access audio on the website. its a really good community but it just wasn't enough for me I guess. It did help me but I will need more real life practice to remember any of it.

Title: Best System Out There for Learning Korean, by Far
Review: 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.

Title: So far promising
Review: I just got mine today and was looking through it. It looks promising, I'm just not very confident in being able to memorize it well.It took me a while to be able to figure out where to get the audio, I find it helpful, but it would have been nice to to hear the word used in a sentence. But I still like that I'm able to hear the word and repeat it.Though I'll have to get another book to fully learn all the characters and numbers well. As in the alphabet to get a better grasp on that.

Review: If you thought 'ne' always meant 'yes' in Korean then you need to buy this. It was quite an eye opener. The explainations of the grammar are invaluable.

Review: Ottimo libro per iniziare, sono arrivata alla 5 lezione e mi sembra puntuale e preciso, la presenza degli audio aiuta molto. Per ora mi piace vedremo continuando le lezioni. La cosa che mi lascia un po' perplessa è che sul libro è presente il prezzo in won coreani, 13000 ovvero 9,19€ ad oggi, quindi pagarlo 28€ mi sembra un po' too much, capisco tutto ma 18€ di differenza mi sembra un po' troppo, va bene qualcosa in più ma non così tanto.
