Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! Today, Keith woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He’s been grouchy and irritated all day. That’s why he wants to answer in the negative! Up until now, we’ve been learning how to answer in the affirmative. But today, we’ll go over how to say negative statements. Be sure to stop by KoreanClass101.com and leave us a post!

PDFs aren’t working!:???: The lesson sounds great. Can’t wait to see the notes. Good to hear Peter here on KCLASS101.
Matthew, it seems to be working on our end. Can you tell us more specifically what the problem is?
오늘은 즌극 에서 선생님의 일 임니다. (Today is teacher’s day in China.)
Happy teacher’s day Koreanclass101! (That first sentence involved a lot of guesswork on my part, I hope I didn’t stuff up too much!)
I started university today, about half of my class are 한극사람 so look forward to some in depth interviews (film clips). Watch this space! (Subscribe using bloglines so you don’t miss out!)
There’s a mistake in the learning center: the Roman script says yeongguk where it should say KaNaDa (or however 캐나다 is spelled in Roman letters), and the translation also says English where it should say Canadian.
maxie씨 thank you for pointing that out. we’re on it on the double!
Max,
오늘은 즌극 에서 선생님의 일 임니다. (Today is teacher’s day in China.)
–> “오늘은 중국에서 선생님의 날입니다”
For 日, you can say “일” but it’s also “날” very often.
I’ll be looking forward to your videos!!
Good lesson, I have been studying Korean for 3 years now and that was the first time I think the reason for the markers was made sufficiently apparent. Or maybe I’m just slow…either way it makes some sense now. Thx.
very good lesson
i just started learning Korean two weeks ago
저는 가수 가 아임니다, 학생 입니다.
저는 일본 사람 이 아임니다, 말레이지아 사람 입니다.
I did a mistake, I guess.
Two cases, one which ends with a vowel and the other with a consonant.
Good class. Thanks.
great lesson guys I hope you keep it up. i want to learn more korean~!

재미있었어요 (it was fun!) ㅋㅋ
Where are you from? (어느 나라 사람이세요?)
Can someone explain to me the first example sentence from the “Grammar Points”?
It says “jeon-eun hakseng animnida.” From what we learned today, I would have written: Jeo-neun hakseng-i animnida.
CCC, 안녕하세요!
저는 학생이 아닙니다(jeo-neun haksaeng-i animnida) is the standard format, but 저는 학생 아닙니다 is also acceptable because 학생 + 아닙니다 makes such obvious sense that it won’t be misunderstood as other things. So Korean people often drop the ‘이’ or ‘가’ that are topic marking particles.
I hoep this helps!
Thanks!
That’s helpful, and kind of what I had thought.
However, I think it’s a little misleading of the lesson to use works like “whenever you use animnida you must use i/ga” and then not use it in the examples.
CCC, Thanks for the feedback, we’ll be more careful in the future!!
감사합니다!
Why are there no mp3s for the Informal Conversation? Also, it would be nice if you could provide the downloadable mp3 in a format other than iTunes. I have a great mp3 player from Samsung that I bought in Korea. Now, I can’t even use it to help me study Korean here? Something seems wrong with that picture.
Jason, you can use the MP3 files in other types of MP3 players too - it’s not only for iTunes
How are you downloading the MP3 files?
And for informal conversations, the dialogs are written in a context and the recorded dialog is in its most suitable politeness level, so we’re only providing one type of politeness level in the audio format, but we do provide some other types of politeness levels in the printable PDFs, so we hope that’ll help!
Thank you!
Sorry to say but I was a little confused.
It’s all good though :]
Can you explain when to use gasu and when to use saram? I am a little unsure. Also what is the definition for gasu and saram? Thanks
I was taking notes and forgot I had a subscription..

Oh.. and thank you so much! I was replaying until I understood.
You guys are a really big help.
I’m so grateful.
KoreanClass101 FIGHTING!!
