Please leave us some comments and let us know how you felt about this Picture/Video Vocab Series.

Also… any suggestions you all have for this series name? “Picture/Vocab Video Series” seems a bit long

수고했어요! 우늘의 수업이 너무 재미있어요! 제가 배운것 많아요!

I’ll suggest “Picture Dictionary” as a name for the series…

Again, this was a great lesson. It’s like getting a second audio blog! I think the flash animation was really well done, and I can tell that it represents a TON of work! I like that you zoom in on the pictures, to clarify what your identifying, and the Korean conversation nicely supports the content.

It is at once accessible to beginners who want to improve their vocabulary and advanced learners who want to catch the nuances of the monologue and the dialog between Seol and Keith. For students who don’t live in Seoul it gives them another great opportunity for exposure to a rather lengthy chunk of Korean - which is so important to learning.

I’m curious about how we’ll get all these new pilot lessons! Once they officially get underway, can we expect them to alternate from week to week on Tuesdays?

Thanks for the feedback and opinions on the name, Ann Marie, Austin, and Sara! Visual Vocabulary and Picture Dictionary both sound good

Hyunwoo, I, and everyone else at KCLASS knew that this was going to be a hit! Everyone thank Hyunwoo for the exceptional flash work that he did!

앞으로 많이 기대해 주세요!!!

wow! That was a great video!! Good job guys! Good job hyunwoo for the flash

This is definetely gettting better and better!
I can learn faster with images!
Great Job Koreanclass101!

I learned many useful words today. Love this site!
You should have podcasts on weekends too ㅋㅋㅋ haha just kidding! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I only knew that 인도 means India, i didn’t know that it also means Sidewalk ^^

I want the 자동차 of the 사진 ! ㅋㅋㅋ

And which word do you use more to call cars: 차 or 자동차 ?

KC101 crew/listeners!

Yes I agree with Seolsista we should have more videos of this kind, I also learn better with more images and explanation.
Keep up this great work! S_R_C

Thanks everyone for all the positive and productive feedbacks ~

Jacqueline,

like Keith said, we use both 차 and 자동차 equally often maybe except for one situation : when you want to yell out “Watch out for the car!”, people usually don’t say 자동차 because it’s too long. HAHA. “차 조심해!(watch out for the car!) or “차 온다!(A car’s coming!)”

제밌어요!

For those interested, the 한자 for some words:

不动产／不動産 - real estate agent, 车道／車道 for road, and 人道 for sidewalk/footpath.

The first is simplified, the second is complex.

It’s funny that 人道/인두/”way of the people” means “humanity” in Chinese, but sidewalk/footpath in Korean. I guess in Chinese the way of the people is a philosophy, while in Korean it’s a physical place where people walk.

Carl if you don’t already have Google Earth download it and take a look at North Korea, it’s very spooky in my opinion.

Nice lesson! I could definitely appreciate all the difficult Flash work, even though I can’t use Flash (현우씨: 수고 했군요!). My sister is an animation student, and she struggled with Flash for a while, despite its “ease of use” reputation. She just didn’t like the flatness of it!

I couldn’t get the QuickTime version to work, so I had to use the Flash version, which meant I couldn’t rewind, fast forward, or pause. That was a bit annoying, but because nobody else seems to have brought up that problem, I’ll assume it’s just a quirk of my computer!

Anyway, I love how it works on many levels: beginner, intermediate, and as a culture class (”works on many levels”: sounds like a Bosch painting). Keep up the good work!

Is anyone else having problems with the quicktime, m4v file? If so, please let us know.

와! 지금까지 맥날에게 배달시킬 수 있는갈 몰랐어요! (”맥날”은, 맥도날드의 별명이죠?)

그리고…”배달시키다”와 “배달주문하다”을 어떻게구별 해요?

Yeah 맥도날드 offers delivery service, but it costs you extra delivery fee!! So watch out! 맥도날드에서 배달 서비스를 해 주긴 하지만 추가로 배달 비용이 드니까 조심하세요 ^^

배달시키다 and 배달주문하다…

They are exactly the same meaning,
but 배달시키다 is more common! ^^

둘 다 같은 의미이지만 배달시키다가 더 자주 쓰여요!!

현우~

잘 알았어요.^^
현우,고마워요!!넵.배달 비용에 조심할게요!! 하지만
.. 여긴 일본이니까 전 괜찮네요.오스틴씨는 조심하세요
아.. 저도 이번 한자어가 많아서 너무 재미있게 느꼈어요.職員＝직원,街路樹＝가로수,配達＝배달…
재미있어요

비누 누나,

맞아요. 한국어에는 정말 한자어가 많아서, 중국인이나 일본이라면, 한자와 함께 공부하면 정말 많은 도움이 될 것 같아요!

윤설 씨~

칭찬 감사해요~ 하지만 윤설 씨의 스크립트도 훌륭했어요! 앞으로도 잘 부탁 드려요!

Hi Dee, welcome to KoreanClass101.com!

We do have the video in m4v format… there it can play in itunes, or your ipod. And with that you can use pause, fast forward, and rewind.

Was Seol’s speech muffled when speaking normally? All throughout the video?

Please let us know

Hello!
I just wanted to say you are doing an awesome job with this site. I just stumbled upon it today and it’s wonderful. I studied Korean intensively for a semester last year at 경희대학교 and you guys are right up on par with my courses there. You’re doing a great job. I’ve also found your site at just the right time for me; next month I will be traveling back to Korea to meet my boyfriend’s parents, who only speak Korean. I feel like your site is really helping me to prepare. Already I’ve been able to surprise my boyfriend with new things I’ve learned! Thank you so much!! Keep up the great work!

안녕하세요!

I really liked this style of learning, with the visual aids to back up what is heard. This is a great way to learn new vocabulary! I hope you will make more of these soon.

I agree with what Dee said, the standard play/pause/rewind/forward buttons would be nice to have. Especially for someone like me who doesn’t like to miss anything that is said!

잘 했어요!

아녕하세요!

whoa! This is great! I’ve been studying Korean for weeks now… I find it interesting but I’ve never find it this cool!

You did a great job here. The conversations are very realistic and helpful to those who are planning to visit Korea.

I think I’ll get addicted to this

wow,it’s siwonhada. di do enjoy listening to it and get some vocabs on it. but, i have a little problem of getting the spelling for each words, i hope that it can be written in the words that i can read it, because am just a beginner. but in general, i love this lesson)

Annyeong!
Ive noticed that i can understand written phrases much more easily than spoken ones. can you give me any advice what i should do?
secondly i dont really understand the sentence formation because there are so many particles attached to the words. i can read and understand but can’t write on my own because maybe i dont understand the order of the words in which they should be placed. can you conduct any such lessons where these skill can be improved or are these points included in your further lessons?
what does 수 있었어요 means?

Thanks for the help

And when you understand written phrases much more easily than spoken ones, it helps A LOT if you work on your pronunciation. You can improve your listening skills by listening to Korean a lot, but if you just keep listening, a slight change in the pronunciation can make it all very confusing - but after you’ve spent enough time practicing the sounds yourself, you naturally understand how and why some words are pronounced in a particular way, and therefore one day you get to understand spoken words just as much as you would do written words
