| INTRODUCTION | |
| Gabriella: In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Korean learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native speaker. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations. | |
| GRAMMAR POINT | |
| Gabriella: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question “Where do you live?” In Korean, this is | |
| Kyejin: 어디에 살고 있습니까? | |
| Gabriella: The first word in the question is | |
| Kyejin: 어디(eodi) | |
| Gabriella: meaning "where" in English. | |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 어디(eodi) | |
| Gabriella: Listen again and repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 어디(eodi) | |
| {Pause} | |
| Gabriella: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is... | |
| Kyejin: 에 (e) | |
| Gabriella: the place marking particle, meaning "in" or “at” | |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 에(e) | |
| Gabriella: Now repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 에(e) | |
| {Pause} | |
| Gabriella: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 어디에 (eodie) | |
| {pause} | |
| Gabriella: And next | |
| Kyejin: 살고 있습니 (salgo itseumni) | |
| Gabriella: the verb-stem of the verb | |
| Kyejin: 살고 있습니다 (salgo itseumnida) | |
| Gabriella: meaning ‘to live.’ or ‘to be living.’ | |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 살고 있습니(salgo itseumni) | |
| Gabriella: Now repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 살고 있습니(salgo itseumni) | |
| {Pause} | |
| Gabriella: Listen to the the first 3 words of the question and repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 어디에 살고 있습니 (eodie salgo itseumni) | |
| {pause} | |
| Gabriella: Next is | |
| Kyejin: 까 (kka) | |
| Gabriella: the question marking particle. | |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 까(kka) | |
| Gabriella: Now repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 까(kka) | |
| {Pause} | |
| Gabriella: Listen to the entire question and repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 어디에 살고 있습니까? (Eodie salgo itseumnikka?) | |
| {pause} | |
| Gabriella: You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question “Where do you live?” | |

| Kyejin: (Slow) 뉴욕에 살고 있습니다. (Nyuyoge salgo itseumnida.) | |

| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 살고 있습니다 (salgo itseumnida) | |
| Gabriella: Now repeat. | |
| Kyejin: 살고 있습니다 (salgo itseumnida) | |
| {Pause} | |

| Gabriella: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “Seoul.” | |
