If your friend is a close friend, feel free to use casual language. If he's an acquaintance and you're not too close to him you can use standard politeness level. hi Lucie!

If your friend is a close friend, feel free to use casual language. If he’s an acquaintance and you’re not too close to him you can use standard politeness level.

After listening to your dialogue, I was wondering how to speak to my friend who is a guy 1 year older than me. Is it ok to talk to him in casual level or, should I speak in standard level? Is it rude to speak in the casual level because he's 1 year older? Thank you for your wonderful job at koreanclas101 !! Hyunwoo, you're majoring in French? C'est super ! Je suis belge et j'adore voir d'autres personnes apprendre ma langue ! Lucie Hi guys !!

I also enjoy the conversations in Korean between you guys and use them as the basis for most of my learning. I have two questions about this lesson: (1) In the sentence, 저녁 식사는 밖에서 하고 들어갈게, would you translate the 하고 as "and" so a literal word-for-word translation would be "evening meal outside and go back will" or does it mean "do (하) and (고) " to make the sentence, "evening meal outside do and go back will"?? (2) The sentence 수진이랑 오랜만에 같 이 저녁 식사 하려고 is translated as "I'm going to have dinner with Sujin, it's been a while." I thought it may be "I have been planning for a long time to have dinner with Sujin." If not, then how would you translate my sentence into Korean? The English present perfect is problematic. So could you help with these sentences? (a) I am watching the tennis. > 테니스를 보고 있어. (b) I was watching the tennis. > 테니스를 보고 있었어 (c) I watched the tennis. > 테니스를 봤어 (c) I have been watching the tennis. 테니스를 본 있었어 (?) Thanks for your great work!

And 에밀리, 그리고 아니카 :) Another intermediate lesson will continue after this season of Lower Intermediate Lesson :) - but don't worry! The grammar points and vocab in this Lower Intermediate Lessons might be easier than the last Intermediate Series, but the lesson will gradually go higher and higher in level, and we'll be providing a lot of sample expressions, which we hope that even advanced learners of Korean can still benefit ! :) Bouks :)

And it's ok if you don't understand everything the hosts say, as long as you get the gist of the lesson. You'll also notice that if you come back to the lesson later, you will suddenly understand the hosts' Korean comments much better! It's a nice way to measure your progress. Hyunwoo: depending on the time of year, there are either 5 or 6 years between us. :cool: Shan - don’t worry, if you allow yourself to listen several times to the same lesson, you’ll start picking it up bit by bit.

The previous intermediate lessons were too tough for me. As for this one - I'm able to understand most of the dialogue without referring to the English translation, and the vocab and grammar points are manageable too. The only thing is, I get really lost when the hosts speak only Korean. :sad: But I look forward to the day when I can understand everything in these lessons! :smile: I’m really glad that KClass is introducing this new series!
