I also use ttmik and I love them! I have the first couple levels as well, and the Forst 500 words, as well as their books Survival Korean and 1100 Short and Useful Korean Phrases that I have found really awesome. I am also very glad I bought their Hanja Guide because you learn so many root words that help you identify the meanings of Korean words without having heard them before 😇
I love the Topik in 30 days! There are so many examples and they even highlight the word you are learning in the sentence, there are also tips. I'm not intermediate as such but it's still a book I am working through for the sentence practice and vocab. I like the 500 first words too but it's not as good as the Topik book for me
I’ll probably use Talk to Me in Korean first. I mean, I’m sure that I’ll get most of these recommendation books, but I’ll get each at a different time.
I'm late to the party but Korean Made Simple by Go Billy is the backbone of my learning. He truly makes it simple and easy to understand from an English speaking perspective
The Writing Conversational Korean book looks really cool! I have the same TOPIK book too but I'm so lazy about studying with it. Idk when I'll ever get around to taking the TOPIK again, once was enough 😅
Terrific video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
I love how u go indept with your explanation on the book to be honest I am ordering the talk to me korean book level 1 even though I am intermediate I just need a review but anyways luv your vid pls make mor
How do you go about studying the Everyday Idiomatic Expressions? Do you just re-write the sentences and memorize them or try to use them when you're conversing with a language partner? You have me absolutely sold on the Writing Conversational Korean book!
Please slow down when speaking and try to avoid “um”. I train people for public speaking so I’m not trying to mock you, I just wanted to point out that when speaking, if you slow down it gives your brain a chance to catch up and then you’ll naturally drop the “um”.
