Thanks for watching this video! 감사합니다 😄

Talking with ChatGPT as a Korean teacher is awesome. I am shy with people and do not want to waste their time, but talking to AI is loads easier and zero stress. I love that idea!

TTMIK embracing the input/graded reader ways is both surprising and awesome. That being said, I want to mention that the price of the Stories app is a bit steep. Speaking from their previous graded reader stuff like easy stories etc, the quality is definitely there and that should be rewarded, but ballpark 300 bucks a year (without ttmik subscription taken into account) is rough for most people, especially those who aren't even aware about graded reading etc.

TTMIK was the first to make Korean language learning accessible on the internet and I'm glad they continue to be the at the forefront of the industry as it grows and advances. I'll always remember fondly the early days of learning with the TTMIK podcasts and love that they remain relevant for new generations of language learners to discover and study with. I hope your company and influence continue to grow through 2024 and beyond. <3

I’ve been following TTMIK since 2012 but due to my poor discipline, I still lack a lot in my Korean skills.. :( but this year 2024 will be different!! I will learn Korean !!! 🙌🙌

I really like the TTMIK product as a whole and have purchased many books and also purchased a subscription for the online courses. I additionally really enjoyed the sample of the new graded Korean app and appreciate the work that went into it, however the subscription price seems exceedingly expensive, and there seems to be no discount for those who already subscribe to the online course. It would have been something I would have subscribed to straight away, however at this point the cost is a little prohibitive.

When I received the news about the app I was so happy because this was just what I needed. It is very well made! I wanted to subscribe at once but when I finally saw the price I sadly had to admit that it’s way over my budget. In fact it was the most expensive app I’ve ever seen. I hope you find ways to make it available for more people and get the desired revenue ❤

One of my new year’s resolutions for 2024 is to be more focused and consistent with my Korean studying. I just finished revisiting my why’s and setting goals for this month, then this video got recommended when I opened this app. Looks like it’s a sign that this will be a good year for me and my Korean learning! Hehe. And as always, TTMIK will be my first and most trusted source. Thank you for all your hard work!

[johnsschick]

The more you listen to the language and watch korean shows you will start to understand the grammar and it's stucture. As well as improve your listening comprehension and pronouciation. The key is to do it everyday consistantly, even if its only 10-15 minutes a day. I have seen great results when I do that along with studying.

[trishasmith]

I definitely need a new reason to learn Korean and need to find a time to commit to learning it. When I first heard anything about Korea, it was through dramas and songs and I wanted to understand without google translate/ subtitles. But really deep down my main motivation to learn any language is to be able to talk to people. I think if I break my goal down into smaller more achievable steps, I can keep on track. So I’ll say a goal for 2024 is to get to a conversational level, so I can find a language partner and talk to people in Hmart when I’m struggling to find things!😂

[Tataisinsideme]

I’m so disappointed that it cost money now 😭 honestly was so excited to finally learn Korean again after a while.. 💔💔

[juparula]

I love TTMIK!!! I have been "learning" Korean since 2017 on and off, but with a big break in between. I basically am starting from zero again and have bought your first level books. I am feeling discouraged so far by how slow my progress has been, but this has me more motivated again. 화이팅!

[StoriesOfFovy]

Love the app, but after the 3 day trial I won’t be able to continue using it unfortunately. The monthly and yearly plans are expensive!!! Really a shame😢

[ACoize]

Anyway for existing TTMIK subscription members to get discount on the reader app? kinda insane the pricing especially on top of paying for the original TTMIK membership.

새해 복 많이 받으세요 선생님들~ 🎉❤ 이번 영상도 잘 봤습니다~ 감사합니다~

[JamesTermy]

I am so pleased to see TTMIK teachers acknowledging the power of AI and how to work with it. I know some of my other favorite teachers discourage this, so kudos again for taking a stand. If this can help more beginners get past that initial hurdle then I am all for it.

One minor disclaimer, is that 3.5 AI can make mistakes, but still I think with enough other resources like teachers and chat services to real native speakers. This should be able to help mitigate those issues.

[ThatsEunice]

I didn’t even know chatgpt does voice. Thank you for this video. This is amazing. I tried it and am going to take time each day to work on my Korean.

[drgn]

Yeah. That helps definitely. And even more if you craft a prompt for different modes.

Thanks for all the advice in here. ☺ 👍

[dayana]

I stopped learning Korean for 2 years... hopefully I'll be able to start learning it again and remember everything I learned.

Best platform for beginners and for grammar.
