Hi all!

Hope you enjoyed the lesson

Cheonhong Park and Han Sujin are friends of Seol and they’ll be joining us to do a little voice acting. Please be sure to leave them a post!

And by the way, how did you all feel about the 거문고 (geomungo), the stringed instrument at the beginning and end of the audio clip.

I have no idea what Park and Han said but it sounded really cool. I know it sounds like a weird reason to learn a lesson but it motivates me. Every time the couple from Lost let fly with a stream of Korean I couldn’t help but Even when they’d fight I’d always be sitting there thinking “that sounds so cool…”

I feel really motivated now to make an introduction video of myself in korean ^^ Maxiewawa, I got to copy someone

Oh and by the way, I loved the 거문고 in there. Could we get a bit more of a longer sample of that at the start of the lesson?

And you can see the word 천천히 inside this photo

I will make a video intro too!! 저도 소개 비디오 만들게요!!

Let’s make it all together, everyone, and make a compilation!!!

I some questions about Hangul,

In the PDF we see 처음뵙겠습 and I didn’t really understand the pronounciation of 뵙. Is it the same as 벱?

If so, is it possible, when you have that vowel with two vertical strokes, to take the first one and put in a horizontal position????

Also, about 입니다, the pronounciation of 입 is the same as 임, isn’t it? So, why do we use ㅂthat would have a “p” or “b” sound in a place where it sounds like “m” (ㅁ)????

Yess! That was the whole idea behind the video actually.

I’m going to uni for 중국어 next semester; the majority of students here are 한국 사람 so expect more videos. I’ll be harassing my classmates to contribute.

If anyone can send me a video fie of themselves I’ll do my best to put them together!

@Hyungwon sonseng nim and @Kim

“한 번 더, 천천히” = ONE MORE TIME, SLOWLY
(han beon deo, cheoncheonhi)

“영어로, 한 번 더” = IN ENGLISH, ONE MORE TIME
(yeong eo ro, han beon deo

In Survival phrases, the syntax is different, and we have a verb (I think) on the end. As I remember it we got ‘maelsum he chuseyo’… or something. My typing isnt so good

Here’s the link to the Survivalphrases lesson anyway. Like I said, the syntax is a little different and there’s a verb on the end. How are they different?

I think this will work

Btw, I liked the repetition of the dialog in the end of the audio file! It’s very good for a review after the explanations!!

Keith,

Thank you very much!!! That was really helpful.

About 뵙, I didn’t know we could use two vowels in the same syllable. That was new for me!! Now I have to pay attention to the pronounciation of those, too.

Max, wow, it’ll be great if you could interview more Korean people, and we can really have a compilation of people introducing themselves in Korean - and it doesn’t have to be all Korean people, it could be anyone who’s listening to kclass101, right? come on, everyone!

And what you mean is “말씀해 주세요”, which is “please say” or “please speak”, and the major difference between the phrases that were used in this lesson “한 번 더 천천히” and “영어로 한 번 더” is,

말씀해 주세요 is a sentence with a verb,
but 한 번 더 천천히 doesn’t have a verb in it,
and neither does “영어로 한 번 더”, right?

They just mean “one more time, slowly” and
“one more time, in English”, so that’s the basic difference.

Most Korean sentences end with a verb, whether it is a general verb that indicates a movement or behavior or it is the Korean BE verb “이다” to show a status.

If anyone knows why I did this video, it’s to copy Maxiewawa. His comment is on the comments for the first beginner lesson. I posted the comment forthe wrong lesson sorry!

Yes, Koreans use spaces.
I was wondering where the comment about 자기 소개 originated.

JZ씨 well done! Stay tuned for our next piece of homework.

@Keith & 선현우
Thanks, that makes much more sense. I’m sure I’ll have more Hangul questions soon though.

JZ님!

great video!!!

Hyunwoo, that’s a great dictionary you have on your site (Japanese - Korean). My girlfriend says ありがとう！
But what website is it from?

Hi Chuck(척), welcome to KoreanClass101.com!! 어서오세요!! 만나서 반가워요!

Haha is it so smart to give out your phone number like that? ^^

Annyonghaseyo! I found this site through japanesepod101.com, and I’m so happy that there’s finally a podcast for Korean, a language I’ve always wanted to learn. I hope to be a faithful listener, especially during study hall at school. Thank you for the delight lessons so far, and keep up the good work!

Hi Victoria and Devon Nice to meet you 만나서 반갑습니다!! Hope you will enjoy learning Korean!! Devon, please check this forum thread and read what steve wrote on how to make hangul readable in your computer.

I’m ashamed to hear my voice..
(자기 목소리를 들으니 부끄럽네요..)

천홍 씨 목소리 좋으니까 부끄러워하지 않으셔도 될 것 같아요. 설 씨는 벌써 프로가 되신 것 같고요 ^_^!! 앞으로도 화이팅입니다!!

How did everyone learn to write Korean characters so quickly? I didn’t see a post or anything on it. What’s the best way for me to learn? I live in Japan and speak Japanese but know nothing on Korean.

Korean writing is sooo easy (although i make loads of mistakes:-). I just
practised writing the characters for a weekend and i’ve been writing the
whole alphabet from my memory everyday once.

I found this site to be helpfull as well as all the materials here.
