Quick Review
Summary: Talk To Me In Korean (TTMIK) offers audio, video and text materials for Korean learners of all abilities. They have a variety of free and paid courses available. The main course is well laid out and the supplementary lessons are all great quality offering some really fun and interesting ways to learn. However, there aren’t many ways to practice what you’ve learned, as such, it’d be best used alongside other resources and not as a standalone course.
Quality
The video lessons have high production value and can be fun to watch.
Thoroughness
Not enough material or opportunities to practice to only rely on TTMIK.
Value
A ton of free content!
I Like
Some of the courses are really creative and offer an interesting way to engage with the language.

The majority of the content, including the entire grammar course, is free.
Wide range of materials for all levels.
I Don’t Like
Learning can be too passive as you’re rarely asked to use the Korean you’ve learned.
