Our Editor's Take

Talk To Me In Korean is a language-learning podcast. Weekly episodes can help listeners learn Korean. The podcast hosts are Hyunwoo Sun and Kyeong-eun Choi. They started working as global educators in 2009. The podcast started as a language exchange club. Sun and Choi had a common interest in languages, people, and cultures, leading to a podcast. Their shared goal is to teach the Korean language and culture.

For the first few years, Talk To Me In Korean podcast episodes go over Korean basics. Sun and Choi go over how to say yes or no, hello or goodbye, and how to ask for directions. The hosts review grammar topics such as verb endings. They go over sentence patterns. They explain the difference between speech that is casual and informal versus polite and formal. The podcast organizes these episodes in levels. Each level consists of three lessons. Each lesson is one episode ten to twenty minutes long.

Later episodes of the podcast introduce new elements of the Korean language. Topics range from the pronunciation of certain letters to discussions about Korean traditions. The podcast avoids dry vocabulary drills and instead focuses on real-life Korean dialogues. It helps listeners learn practical phrases and scenarios.

A distinct feature of Talk To Me In Korean is its motivating and engaging approach. It helps learners stay inspired and feel valued for making the effort to learn a new language. With Sun and Choi as guides, mastering Korean appears to be more manageable and achievable.

Talk To Me In Korean makes it clear that picking up a new language isn't impossible. That goes even for learning languages like Korean, with different characters from English. The trip begins with the first step, or in this case, the first episode of the podcast.
