Lesson 8 - Basic Introduction

So in this lesson, I'm just going to write down the some of the basic sentences you can use to introduce yourself. 

This first example is in 'Polite' form, to use to someone where you meet them for the first time or if they're older than you.





The next example is in less polite form, so only use it if you are 100000% sure that the person you are talking to is younger than you OR if you're the same age and the korean person have allowed you to speak in casual form with them.

Lesson 5 - ㅎ weakening or deletion

Lesson 5 is finally up~ ^^ now i hope you've read through lesson 1-4, even if you haven't memorised everything, at least read through it ^_____________^


Korean is not an easy language as many of you know, even real Koreans have a hard time to write in their own language~ Take it slow and don't push yourself ^^ try to learn one new word per day so you can build your vocabulary~ ^^


NOW, lesson 5~ 


The letter ㅎ is a bit tricky, when its place between two 'vowels, ㅁ,ㄴ,ㅇ or ㄹ' 
ㅎ tends to be silent in casual speech.


For example~






So next time you see the ㅎ in a word, it might be silent, so dont pronounce it ^^ 


Here's a little video to explain it abit better ~~ ^___________^

Random Korean word of the day

Understand/Understood


Casual = 알았어요 (a ra sseo yo)
Polite = 알겠습니다 (al get sseum ni da)
