한국어 and 한국말 mean the same thing (the Korean language), but 한국말 tends to be a bit informal, therefore should be used more in casual conversations. 한국어 is like the formal form, but it won't sound unnatural in everyday conversation either.

한국말 can be interchangeable with 한국어 in everyday conversation. The only difference is 어 came from sino-Korean whereas 말 is a native Korean.
