Download the audio content for "Korean Made Simple" for free!
Special thanks to my friend Jeremy from Spongemind.org and the YouTube channel MotivateKorean for helping to arrange native Korean speakers to record the audio of the three "Korean Made Simple" books. I couldn't have made the audio files if it weren't for him and his native speaking Korean acquaintances who took on the assignment.
Here's what you get:
- Approximately two hours of Korean content from the three books, recorded by native speakers.
- Hangul practice sections (Korean Made Simple 1)
- Introduction to Hangul
- More Hangul
- Introduction to Sound Changes
- Every chapter conversation from all three books (Korean Made Simple 1, 2, and 3).
These audio files were made to be used together with "Korean Made Simple" 1, 2, and 3.
The files have been carefully created to be used both while at home, and while out and about. You can listen to them while studying at your desk, commuting to work, or during exercise.
Thank you again to everyone who has supported me through this web site, my YouTube channel, and these books. I look forward to continue teaching and creating new lessons and videos.

Hi! I really want to learn Korean and I bought all three books and workbooks after watching some YouTube channels. The book has been good so far but I was only able to download chapter one. Also, audio would be nice for the beginning of learning the sounds of the letters. Do you have any audio for letter sounds and sound changes? I don’t understand sound changes and when a g sounds like a k and a b sounds like a p. It’s so confusing.
For the sounds of individual words, I recommend Naver Dictionary. There are audio files for almost every single Korean word, and you can also read exactly how all of them are pronounced.
I love the books and videos, your youtube BTS reviews were really interesting, I can hear every little detail in Suga's dialogue now, including the sucking in air when he is thinking. Thank you for such great input! I find the reading very fast, but I think I need more practice to become familiar. You have done a really nice job! 감사합니다 from Australia! PS I also really liked the Hangul museum that you visited with your son and we learnt about the History of Korea.
When I click on the link, it keeps showing a blank white screen. I’m on my phone. That is the only source that I have for Internet. I think it’s just not compatible with phones or at least my phone.Is there another spot where I could access the audio?
You'll have to download it from a device that lets you download Zip files. Your phone's browser might not allow downloads, so you can try a different browser. If you open it with any Zip opener, it will work on any device.
Hello - Are there DVD’s?
Hello I’m trying to follow with your workbook and text book and none of the audio is working.
The audio is in a Zip file, so you first need to remove it from the Zip file and then you can play it on any device.
Hello, Billy! After watching your lessons on youtube I bought your books to have more of a structure in my learning. And so far I love it! I really enjoy learning Korean with your help. Just in the category "even better if" I'd love to have more from the audio. Where I live there's no Koreans at all, no Korean lessons/ teachers available. I rely on your resources 100%. I'd really really like to be able to listen to more Korean, not just the dialogue but most of the example sentences, exercises, new vocab. So even when on my way to work I could just put my headphones on and do some recap just by listening... Just a little dream (humble request?) of mine 😁 Thanks again for preparing such a great course!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'd also like to be able to make more content like that too 😀
Hi, I purchased the workbook #1 in pdf file and the link to track #2 doesn't work so I came here to this site. However, I am having a hard time understanding which audio is supposed to go with the audio as the file name is different. Could you please assist with this?
Each audio files also has a "Track Number" in its metadata. If you show the track number in the folder (or in a music program too), you can organize them by the track number and see which file is which.
Hey Sarah!
You can also use the filter option in your file manager or file explorer to know that which file should be played first. Just clik the filter option and select "sort by date" option. Hope this will Help You!
I have a question, i bought wb1 en simple korean1 as an ebook. I also have the audiofiles of these books. What I miss is the audio of the new vocabulary in every chapter. I have a lot of trouble tot learn the words because i don't hear the pronounciation of these new words.
I have watched a lot of your videos and they are intresting and fun to watch.
greetings
To find the pronunciation of any vocabulary word in Korean, I recommend typing the word into Naver dictionary and clicking the audio button. They have everything there 🙂
Thank you you are great Billy
I went all in and bought a three text books and the first workbook. I didn't see the other 2 WBs at the time when I was looking on Amazon. I didn't know they existed. I'll pick them up when I finish the 1st WB. I had no problem downloading the audio files. Oh BTW the books were supposed to come in a week but showed up in less than 2 days.
Haha sometimes the shipping can be crazy fast. But 2 days is really fast.
Hi Billy , I can not find lesson one. I have spent hours looking for it. Can you make it easier for us to find the lecture we need ?
Which lesson one are you referring to? You also can find any video through my Youtube channel directly.
Hi. Since they said "lesson one" I assume it is "Saying hello" they are referring to. I can't find it either. I downloaded the workbook audio files, and they aren't numbered, nor is there a file called "Saying hello". Is this an issue on my end?
The audio for "Saying Hello" is together with the first Korean Made Simple workbook audio files. They have numbers, but you'd have to show them in Windows. It's number 4 in the workbook, and there are 23 files for the first workbook.
Hi. I bought the Workbook 2 as a pdf a few days ago but I am having trouble getting the audio files. I am on an ipad and have downloaded your files before but for the workbook 2 files I get an error message when I tap the zip file saying that I “do not have permission to download these files”. I tried chrome and safari browsers. Any advice?
Correction it says “You don’t have permission to SAVE the files.
That probably has to do with your user account settings on that computer. I'd recommend trying a different device to download the files, such as a different computer.
Hi, I’m having the same problem. I was able to download and save the audio files for the main book but got the same error as Angie on the workbook files using the same device. Was there ever a solution for this?
Trying to download the audio files for use with the textbook and workbook but nothing is coming up when I click the link. It just takes me to a blank webpage.
The files were down, but they're back up now 🙂
Hi Billy. Love your books. Also, I am having trouble downloading the workbook audio files 2 and 3. It says I don't have permission to save files. Please help me as I am currently studying book number 2.
That would be related to your current computer/device. Try downloading the files on a different machine and they should save 🙂
Hi Billy, I recently bought your Korean Made simple part 1 book and I've got to say this is by far the best korean study/practice book ive come across, the explanation is so simple and easy to understand i dont feel intimidated by the language anymore but much more confident with it. the exercises after each chapter just pushes the mind further and further. even the youtube videos are so apt, i would say this is my best investment by far. 감사합니다 선생님!
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Hi Billy,
thank you a lot for the great content you created!
I am currently learning with your book and some other sites for the pronunciation.
I was wondering if there are also audio files for the vocabulary lists in Book 1. I know that you read the vocabulary in the introduction part, but I cannot find an audio for the vocabulary from chapter 2 onwards. Thank you for your help!
Best regards
I recommend using Naver dictionary to hear any vocabulary words. All of them were recorded by native speakers (not a computer), and they're perfectly accurate. You can find any word in any of my books, or in any book 🙂
Hi! I love your books! However the PDF has numerous places where there are two prices of text on top of one another and basically makes it impossible to differentiate the hangul. I have tried opening the PDF with different apps and there is always the same problem. Any help?
I am enjoying the exercises and easy instructions, thank you.
I was working in the workbook and noticed that I am to listen to track two to complete exercise. When I downloaded the zip files, my computer listed the tracks by titles in alphabetical order. Because there are no track numbers with the titles. I cannot easily find the correct lesson. The file itself does not allow me to rename the tracks.
Is there a list of the track titles in numerical order that I can use to find the correct lessons quickly?
I see now that the track titles are listed in the table of contents in the workbook. That helps.
If you extract them from the zip file they come in, you can organize them however you'd like 🙂
Hi there! I am working through your book Korean Made Simple Workbook #1 and I'm having a hard time finding the audio for this. I downloaded the advanced workbook #1 but the labels in the audio files don't match up with the book, where, for example, I am told to listen to "Track 2".
Make sure you're looking at the Workbook #1 audio files and not the textbook audio files. The very first audio file in the folder will explain which book that it's for. Also, you'll want to organize the files by the track number. Your computer may have organized them by something else by default. I recommend loading them with a program that shows the file info, such as Windows Media Player, or VLC, etc.
Hi. I subscribe your YouTube channel. But I wanted to download this audio. But it seems that i cannot download. Not sure why. Maybe because i use iPad to download.
The file is a ZIP file, so you'll probably need a computer to open up the folders and files. Try it again on your desktop computer 🙂
You can download and open the files on iPad. After clicking on the download link in Safari, there is a little down arrow icon to the right of the text field where you would put in a web address. Click that and you will see the files you just downloaded. Then, click the magnifying glass icon next to the file to open your downloads folder in files. Finally, just tap the zip file and it will open into a folder. Then you can listen to the audio files. Hope this helped.
Hi Billy! I started to learn korean a few weeks ago and i am almost through the half of book 1.
At the end of every chapter, there are some exercises, and as the chapters become harder, its hard for me to find out if i did the exercises correctly. Are there any solutions i can look up? How do i know if i got the exercises right? 🙁
Lots of love from Austria 🇦🇹
I already found it in the back of the book! Sorry for asking such a thoughtless question haha 🙂
hello Your books are amazing. I am using the workbook and i just wanted to ask that where can i find the audios for that?
The audio files for the workbook are in the same area as the files for my "Korean Made Simple" series. You can find a link on the right side of this page 🙂
HI Sir? how are you i want some help This book is available in pakistan? How can i get it/ amazon are not in pakistan if i buy outside from my country it cost a lot. I am ery intersted in korean need some help
I'm sorry but I don't know what web site ships to Pakistan. But if you ask your local (large) bookstore, they can probably order it directly there. My book is available to order for them just like any other book.
Ok so i'm Slightly confused when you say something in english then korean, are you saying the thing you said in English? or something else? (i dont mean this in a Rude Way)
Can you give me an example of what you mean?
Hi billy...greetings from Frankfurt 🇩🇪 i saw your introduction to your books on YouTube and also watched a lot of your beginner videos..i finally got both level 1 books and really happy to start officially... kinda weird finding some one in Germany learning korean ..but since I'm a kdrama lover i had to start learning...thank you for your efforts i will ask some questions along my journey
Thanks for your comment! I'll keep working hard to make new content.
Are the PDFs free to download? I cant seem to get it to download
The PDFs for the "Learn Korean" video series are free to download. You can find them by clicking the link on the right side of this page called "Learn Korean - Full Lessons with PDFs." If you click the link to any lesson post, you can find the PDF download link at the bottom of the post.
Hi Billy. I just got the books and I’m trying to download the audio files but the link is not working?
Please try the links again (or from a different computer). They all seem to be working fine for me.
Are the pdf version of the books the same as the print copies? Do they include all of the pictures? Can I print out the pdf versions if I want to write in the margins? Are the pdf versions OCR with text so I that I can search text or copy and paste into a Korean Dictionary like Naver?
Sorry this reply is late. They're the same content (and images), just formatted slightly differently due to space restrictions. So they could be printed out and written on if you'd like (and have plenty of ink in your printer). They're also regular PDFs (not just scans), so you can highlight text and search it or copy/paste anything in there.
Sorry I don't know that web site.
Hi Billy,
I am starting my learning and bought your Made simply 1 book. It's great, however, I find it difficult to find out whether I am pronouncing the new phase, and new vocabulary correct or not. Do you have the audio download for the new vocabulary for each chapter?
Thank you
Mei
For individual vocabulary, the best place to hear accurate pronunciation is from Naver's online (free) dictionary at dict.naver.com. Every word is pronounced by native speakers, and you can look up any word you'd like 😀
Hi Billy,
I really appreciate the way the lessons are organized. I've just finished book 1, starting on book 2 tonight, hope I can finish book 3 by next August before I head back to Korea again. Appreciate the audio files a lot as there are no Koreans where I live right now, have to depend on WhatsApp and KaKao Talk to speak with my Korean friends. The TTMIK and few other sites do a nice job with specific subjects but your books have the right sequence and continuity I think to make learning the easiest. Things are getting easier the more I work at this. There are no short cuts, just have to do the work and practice practice practice...
Thanks again for these!
-Jeff
You've got it correct. It's a lot of practice. But don't feel like you're being disadvantaged by only using chatting programs - they're still very effective for practicing, even by just writing and reading. When you make some good friends with it, you can even send audio messages back and forth too, and perhaps meet them in Korea. Good luck in your studies~!
Hi, Billy.
After downloading, the audios reflected as pdf which does not even open. How do I handle this?
Try to directly place them into a media player. They're mp3 files and not PDF files, so you might have changed your computer's default settings to open mp3 files with a PDF viewer.
Thank you for these audio files! I'm half way through the first book and I'm learning so much! Thank you
Hi Billy,
I'm up to around book 2 at the moment and have really been enjoying the good humoured and easy going instructional style of your textbooks and videos so far.
I have adopted your books as my learning base line, with supplemental material from other resources like TTMIK, Minjiteaches, Motivatekorean, Hellotalk etc and its working great so far.
Thank you for all your content!
I originally started learning Korean in 2009 then ended up quitting a year or 2 later. So i'm somewhat in a revision phase right now to a certain extent, and its been interesting to see things about my Korean that are already better than what they were back then. On the other hand there are still some things that I'm still catching back up on, which has left me in a weird but interesting place with the language atm. But that's just all part of the journey.
Anyway keep doing what you're doing. And, thanks again!
Thanks for your comment, and I'm glad to hear you've picked up Korean again! It's also nice to hear that you're using various resources to learn (not only one), and that one of those even includes practicing with natives (Hellotalk). I hope you can make several pen pals and that this time everything will stick a bit better. Good luck in your studies~!
Thanks a lot for your reply. All i'll say about language exchange apps (i used lang 8 back in the day before they became defunct)... is that people give very different corrections sometimes and its hard to know what is useful when people do that except to maybe think that there is a lot of different ways to say a similar meaning kind of like English? but you always wonder how much of it is part of them misinterpreting the English that you put alongside your Korean... hmmm haha.
Hey billy I was wondering if you were going to make a Korean made simple 4 for the future . Thank you for makeing these books they really helped me .
Not currently, because I feel after Korean Made Simple 3 someone would be able to branch out and use whatever materials they'd want to continue studying (watching TV, reading stories and news, listening to podcasts, etc.). If I do another more advanced book, it'll be something different 🙂 Thanks for your support!
Just ordered all books (not much of a kindle/ebook guy) - though I wish I knew about this earlier in the year before my scheduled vacation to Korea next month! I think I'm pretty terrible with languages (what I think I'm pronouncing vs what actually comes out, for example) but if I can at least understand, I'd consider this a win!
Next month? That'll still be a lot of fun 😀 You'll get a good taste of Korea, and you can prepare even more for whenever your next trip will be~ Good luck in your studies!
Hi billy i just started on my korean made simple level 1 along with the work book but I'm finding it very difficult since not much explanation and the audio are very short .. are the PDFs free downloads? Do i need them along the books and audio
The free PDFs are only for the "Learn Korean" videos on my YouTube channel. There aren't any other free PDF files.
I'd recommend moving through the book from the very beginning, and not skipping any sections (also make sure to read the Preface). If you move through it in order, it should move slowly and give enough explanation. Also make sure to do all of the Practice examples at the end of every chapter before going to the next chapter.
If you still want more explanation after that, you can search the topic on my YouTube channel and you'll probably find a video or two.
Truly love this book!
Good luck in your studies, and thanks for your support! I hope you'll be able to reach whatever goals you've set for yourself to learn Korean.
I'm so happy that I bought this book! I am huge Korea fan and I've learned till now already so much!
Thanks for all this hard work
Thanks for your support! And I'm here (and on Twitter, YouTube, etc.) if and when you need me. Good luck in your studies~!
Terima kasih billy..
Hi Billy!
Just wanna say a HUGE THANK YOU for all the hard work, both on your videos and both on your books. So amazing and really helping my korean studies which I only started a few weeks ago. I recommended your stuff to a friend who's already speaking basic korean but needed something to go forth with. She bought one of your books and loved it! So thanks again, keep up the great work, I'm a big fan, haha
Sending love and support from Hungary~
Alex
Thank you for your support~! Also as soon as you can, once you've started studying even the most basic grammar, start practicing! Find some online pen pals, and try to use what you're learning with them, even if you mostly use English and only use simple Korean. The earlier you start practicing, the faster you'll be able to learn. Good luck in your studies~!
Just got your book, Billy! I am so excited! I hope that with this book, I can actually learn Korean. It still looks a bit intimidating but I am giving it a go! I think I am the most nervous about Hangul and pronunciation. Thanks so much for making this book and the audio!
Thanks for your support, and good luck with your studies~! I'm also always here to help 😀
Hi Billy, so I have tried to download these audio several times on my phone and ipad but they dont seem to work, what should i do?
I'm unfamiliar with how iPhones and iPads store files, but you might have to open the file in some sort of file explorer and unzip it first. These are zip files, so you'll need to extract them before you can open them.
In order for you to download the audio onto your phone or iPad, you have to download them to your computer first, so that you can, One, unzip them, you can't play them without doing that first and Two, it can convert the files to MP3 files. THEN, you can plug in your phone/iPad and download them straight to your devices! 🙂 Hope that helps!
Hi Billy! My boyfriend just purchased your first book to help me learn Korean. I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make these books and provide your wonderful Youtube content! I started learning Hangul from your channel. Judging from the general reviews on Amazon, I'm super excited to start studying with Korean Made Simple! Can't wait to see your future books/projects~
Thanks for your support! If you can, I'd love if you could leave a review for it on Amazon (reviews are really hard to get). I'm also here for any questions, although I recommend posting questions to Twitter or YouTube for the fastest response. I'm often available for things like that and enjoy helping people learn 🙂 And good luck in your studies~! This'll be your first step down a long and fun road.
Hi Billy - Would be possible to add in the Audio file also the pronunciation of all the sentences/worlds in the chapter? Not only the dialog - Also will be nice if we could go back and forth to each sentence/word without starting the chapter from scratch. Cheers V
It's possible but it would be very expensive for me to hire that amount of work, so I can't do that currently. But you can check the pronunciation of any word on dic.naver.com (Naver's dictionary) online and all of them are accurate pronunciations.
In your opinion what is the best way to learn Korean alphabet. I have several books that shows the writing but I have been looking for just audio sound for the alphabet because i have to see and hear the sound the correct way to say it as i write them do you have any suggestion.
My books also come with free audio for all of the alphabet sounds. You can find the audio download links on the side of this web site~
Is there a CD with the book or I need to download the audio files?
You need to download them. All of the audio files are organized into tracks, so you can easily create a CD or put them on your phone or stream them from anywhere.
I really love ure books it's helps me a lot. Im just asking if u're books are selling in a bookstore here at the Philippines. I wanna but it also
Yes, they ship to the Philippines too. You can order the book with free shipping from BookDepository.com
Hi, Billy, your book looks good. I want to study your book after graduating from my program. I can't wait to see. Do you have ebook?
Yes, you can find the eBooks on the same page as my book on this web site.
please how can I get Your books free??😭😭
I'm not currently able to offer them for free (because they cost so much money for me to hire editors/illustrators and to publish), but sometimes my books go on sale at Amazon/Kindle/etc. I also create free separate lessons with downloadable PDFs frequently on my YouTube channel (and available through this web site), so you can check those out anytime.
Your books are so darn good! Don't change a thing. I love foreign languages and wish the other languages had books like yours. I've bought just about every beginner Korean book out there, and your series is hands-down the main one I use to learn Korean (as for the other books I bought, I use them as secondary sources after finishing up your first book). I appreciate how you separate sections into small chunks and you explain the grammar so well. I'm so glad you stopped romanization early on because it is unnatural and an unnecessary distraction (and it's lazy). I have all of your three books and just started the second one. I would buy all of your future books without hesitation. One suggestion is to think about writing some Korean readers for beginners- there is a severe lack out there except for some intermediate and advanced readers.
Thanks for the nice comment! While I don't plan to release a 4th "Korean Made Simple," I am working on different books/projects for the future. If you wouldn't mind, could you leave a review for the book on Amazon? These days I'm trying to get some more recent reviews of the book. Either way, take care and good luck with your studies~!
Hi,I can't download the free audio files.I tried on Windows, iPad,android.Nothing.Please help.Thank you.
Will there be a fourth book?
Probably not a 4th book for this series unless the 3rd book sells well, but I'll likely do other books for learning Korean in the future. We'll see 🙂
I bought your book and was loving it but was sad there were no audio files until i found this! Thank you. Im really enjoying learning with your instruction. You're a great teacher 🙂
Hello, i can use these audios for my personal(a gamified web platform for learning languages) project who have the objective to teach Korean for Brazilians?
If they're not being used to make money, that's fine. My content is licensed under (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
I want to thank you so much for all the books, all the audio files and all the hardwork you've done. I deeply respect you (like a person who have done a lot and also as a teacher)-and I also respect your ancestors 😀 (I got that from the video how to memorize the vocabluary btw I thank for your videos too...)
Hi, just wondering, are there extended audio files for the vocabulary. Sometimes I feel like my pronounciation is not on point :/ thank you
If you're looking for pronunciation of every vocabulary word, definitely check out Naver's dictionary (dic.naver.com). If you type in any Korean word, there's a little speaker icon next to the word that you can click and listen to the pronunciation. These were recorded by actual natives, so you can trust their accuracy.
Thank you so much for all your work! I can understand you even tho I am brazilian.You teach so nicely!
Great Billy! This is exactly what I was missing sofar with your books. You are the best 한굴 teacher I know, keep on going!
Cheers from Ulsan, 연 (dutch)
Could I know the size the files? I can't download it because the size is unknown, my data packet is limited. Is there other link to download, the link that can be to resumed?
The compressed file size is currently 47 megabytes (for books 1 and 2). That'll be a bit larger later this year once the third book is released.
I'm having trouble downloading the files as well. The download keeps on failing or it can't parse the response. It's really weird because the status of the download says that theres ? of the file size. I've tried downloading it in other browsers and it's doing the same thing.
You can try attempting it again after awhile (the file works) - it might be your internet connection that's having issues with the file. If you're not able to download it though, send me a message on my Contact form and I'll send it to you by email. Maybe your internet will have better luck downloading it from there instead.
i just bought the book.. thanks for the audio xD
I can not download the audio files I'm not sure why.could you help me?
The files are working correctly, but if you're having any trouble downloading, some people have suggested that trying a different browser could work. You can also try to download the files from another computer.
Hi Billy! I've been learning Korean since last year on September and I've made some good progress. I have no problem understanding with how the grammar of the language works. However, I have one slight problem. Whenever I try to acquire more vocabularies, I tend to forget how they're spelled everytime. It might sound odd that I can grasp the Korean grammar easily but forget how the words are spelled. For example, I always forget how the Korean word for "Artist" is spelled. Is it 예술가 or 예설가? Thankfully, I've managed to memorize how it's spelled but my issue about forgetting the spelling of the words is still there. I'm confused, is it because I see Hangeul as a different alphabet from the Latin alphabet? Am I not used to it? Maybe I'm just too lazy to memorize the correct spelling of the words. Can you give me some tips to memorize how the words are spelled? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!
It's just difficult to memorize spelling until you've seen a word used enough, and have learned enough other words to help with that. For example, you'll know it's 예술 because you'll see that word used on its own in other places, as well as words that use 예 in them, and words that end with 가. If all you're learning is 예술가 as one piece, it's only natural to forget how to spell it. But once you've seen it used a lot, and heard it used, and have learned other words that use pieces of it, and seen it used in sentences, memorizing the spelling will become a piece of cake. So overall, it just takes more time and don't worry. If you want to speed things up, try to increase how much exposure you're giving yourself to Korean - watching things like variety shows, and making Korean friends can help with this.
Thanks for your response! I'll keep that in mind.
Just as a quick note for anyone else having trouble with downloading the audio files, try using a different browser. I was unable to download them using Chrome but it worked fine in Firefox 🙂
Thanks Billy! I think these will help a ton with my pronunciation!
Thank you for the audio files. I have both books and can't wait for the third book. I only wish you had the vocabulary words as audio files as well. That would have really completed the whole set! Thanks for all of your hard work.
Thanks Phillip! I didn't add audio since there's already a better way to hear the words. If you go to dic.naver.com (Naver dictionary) and type in any word, it will have the pronunciation next to it. There's also a speaker icon next to each word that you can click and hear what it sounds like. All of them were recorded by native speakers and are all accurate 🙂
Billy, when is your next book coming out? I enjoyed and finished the first two and want to continue my journey in learning korean.
Thanks Jon! I'm working on the third (and probably final one) now, though at the soonest it'll be out at the end of the year. Tons of content to add for the 3rd book 🙂
WOW! Thanks so much for the additional content Billy. Is your website looking better these days?! I feel its looking good! Thanks again bunches Billy. Looking forward to continuing to support your projects. Keep your followers up to speed okay?
Unable to download:
Fatal error: [...edited...]
Yes, for anyone who had difficulty downloading the file, go ahead and try it again. I think too many people were downloading at once, lol. But it should be fine now 🙂
Nope.
jetpack fail...
I've tested it just now again and the download should be working fine. Try to download on another computer if you can. But if you're still having problems downloading the file, then send me a message and I'll gladly email you the file as an attachment 🙂
Thanks for the hard work Billy! I am having trouble downloading the audio files though - it always say "Fatal error". Too many people trying at the same time?
Yeah, the server was getting hiccups from so many downloads, but it should be fine now 🙂
Thank you for the audio files! I appreciate that you are so hard-working even though you did not reach the funds to make it! That says a lot about you as a person and I am glad to support you 🙂 I do have a suggestion- maybe make it so the speakers not sound so dead? I know they are speaking slow on purpose so that we can hear a conversation, but in reality we wouldn't hear them speak in monotone. Maybe they can speak in a normal, but still considered a slow pace by native koreans, the first time? That way, when we have conversations with koreans, we'll be able to distinguish/recognize the normal tonal up's and down's that comes with any language.
That's just my opinion though. Thank you for all you do Billy! Hopefully I'll bump into you someday since I live in the San Gabriel valley and Ktown is not too far away from me 😉
Haha, thank you! As for the speaking, the first time they say things is more of a normal tone. The second time was really just meant to be for practicing pronunciation (not intonation), so that's why it sounds a lot more monotone. I didn't want learners to memorize a word's intonation, but only to memorize the pronunciation, since intonation changes depending on the sentence. Intonation, however, will require another lesson to learn, since that's a whole other topic 🙂 (I think I've got an idea now for a new video, haha). Thanks again~
Thank you!! This will help a lot with pronunciation.
