So 영화 보러 가다 = to go to see a movie
밥 먹으러 가다 = to go to eat
공부하러 가다 = to go to study
일하러 가다 = to go to work

5. In “왜 그렇게 화를 내?” , 내 is the intimate politeness level conjugation for the verb “내다”, which means “to let out” or “to take out” or “to submit”

화를 내다 means ‘to get angry’ or ‘to let one’s angry out on someone’

내 is indeed “my” or “I”, but not in this position ^^

I hope this helps!! And more questions are always welcomed!!!

And 부터 means from/since, but at the same time, it can express the order in which you do things.

밥을 먹다 = to eat.
밥부터 먹다 = to eat first (before other things / starting FROM eating before doing other things)

이거 하세요 = Do this.
이거부터 하세요 = Do FROM this = Do this first.

Let me answer them one by one.^^

1. In the part “다른 데로 갔어”, 다른 데 means ‘different + place’ so it’s “elsewhere”, and “로” means “toward/to” here. You could say ‘다른 데에’, too, but “로/으로” has a strong nuance of ‘direction/going toward a place’ than ‘에’ And ‘에서’ means ‘at/from’.

2. In “아르바이트 가야 돼”, the verb ending “-야 되다” is the part that means “to have to/must/should” So 가다 becomes 가야 되다 to means ‘to have to go’

가야 돼요. = I have to go.
자야 돼요. = I have to sleep.
해야 돼요. = I have to do it.

-야 되다 is the same as -야 하다.

In the dialogue and sample sentences I found some stuff I had not seen before, and even though I can probably deduce the meanings, I thought better to ask so I can know how to use these terminations / conjugations myself.

1. 데로 갔어 … is 로 being used as 에 or 에서 , or what is the difference?

2. 아르바이트 가야 돼 … that 야 termination for 가, how does it works?

3. 샤워부터 해야 겠다 … I thought 부터 was only used to express “from” or “since”… but it seems to have another function here, I am not sure what is it. Here I also find the 야 termination I already asked about

4. 영화 보러 갈 거야 … what is 러 for? Wouldn’t it be the same as saying 영화 볼 거야 ?

5. 왜 그렇게 화를 내?… How is 내 being used here? It referring to “me/myself” but how is it that it is in relation with 화를?

oh… sorry for asking so much… I got the main point of the lesson but these are just side questions ^^… If anyone takes the time to answer I would appreciate it a lot

저는 맥주를 마시자마자, 졸려요 ^^
I feel sleepy as soon as I drink beer! ㅎㅎ

마시다
마시 + 어여
마시어요
시 + 어 = 여
마셔요.

Hope this helps!

And as for adding [verb stem] next to the conjugated forms, that sounds like a very practical, and easy to implement suggestion. I hope to do that soon

Thank again for the wonderful feedback, and for always participating!

저는 집에 가자마자 양치를 해요 ^^

This is my fifth Lower Intermediate lesson, and although I’m far from ready for it yet, I’ll keep plugging away at it. I love this level! The Korean “banter” is more understandable (60% - 75%?) than I had dared to hope, thanks to the Teachers’ skills in supplying just enough English. And it only gets better, with more listening practice…

One scary difference which sets this level apart from the previous level is the inclusion of some vocab which seems to be outside what you would find in a strictly linear approach (Cf. Beginner). Or maybe I haven’t been following the Beginner lessons as well as I thought! But it’s not a problem to look things up a dictionary, and at least you have gotten me started — finally — on that.

So thank you so SO much! If there is room for one little request: If it’s at all possible to include the “dictionary form” of new verbs somewhere in the pdf (even in square brackets), that would be a huge help to me. When I look at the numerous great examples, it seems that I “get” the new conjugation patterns so much more easily if I can compare them with the “dictionary” forms. Except for exceptions, of course, but never mind !

Again, thank you so much…. you seem to be doing everything right so that people like me have the best possible chance to try and follow the LI lessons. It’s much appreciated.

요즘은 더우니까 하루 종일 땀을 뻘뻘 흘려서 영말을 봇자마자 냄세 때문에 세탁기에다가 빨리 넣어야돼요.

헤헤 ^^ 다행이에요.

ㅎㅎㅎ 맞아 맞아 . 버스에 화장실이 있으면 좋을 텐데…
(Yeah it would be nice if buses had toilets on them)

그런데 버스가 좀 더 커져야할 것 같아.
(But the buses will have to be bigger.) ㅎ

ㅎㅎ 미현 씨는 키가 … 166 cm 정도 되는 것 같아요 ^^

저도 정확히는 몰라요. (I’m not sure though. ) ㅎㅎ

크다 is conjugated:
- 커
- 커요
- 크세요
- 큽니다

너무 수고가 많은 것 같아요 ~!! 그래도 적어도 집에 가자마자 잘 수 있어서 다행이에요! It’s good that you can at least sleep as soon as you get home!
