In today’s class, we learned how to repeat statements and questions. At first, this might seem like kind of a strange thing to be learning, but the reason for it is that it is just a super common style of speech in Korean. And along with that, with this being the last class of level #2, it’s a great way to review everything we’ve learned up to this point.
So if you have any questions, just reply to this post down below and ask your question.
Also, this being the last class of level 2, if you’d like to just share your thoughts on level 2, and the entire class so far in general, that’d be great as well!
In class #23, we went over a couple of different things, both using the same structure. The first use will come in handy as it’s a question (or questions) that you’ll really hear a lot in Korean. The other use of the structure is one that I think you’ll find yourself using a lot, to make statements or ask questions.
So, same deal as always, if you have any questions you’d like answered, just reply to this.
This is the first video in the ‘how-to korean’ series here at learnkoreanonline.net. The question asked was, “How do you say please in Korean.
Watch the video to find out. And after, if you have any more questions, feel free to reply to this post and ask away.
Cheers, and happy learning!
p.s. by the way, I will never use phonetics in my videos. If you plan on learning Korean, then the absolute first thing you should do is learn how to read and write. And if you’d like to do so, head over to this page and register for the 4 hours of free videos taken from my in-class course that has been running here in Korea since 2006. The first two classes you get will teach you exactly how to read, write, and say the Korean alphabet. Then the next two classes will get into the basic sentence. So if you are interested in learning Korean, go get those videos and they’ll make the video above, and the ones to come, make A LOT more sense.
Today’s class we got into a structure that is just amazingly common and useful when speaking Korean. It’s something that most native English speakers take for granted, ’cause students of English have a real hard time with it, but going the other direction, learning how to say those things in Korean is actually not that bad once you get the idea of it, and that’s what this class is aimed at doing.
If you have any questions about today’s class – it is a good one to make sure you have clear ’cause it’ll really help you down the road – go ahead and reply to this and ask away.
Cheers!

P.S. If you’re reading this and don’t know how to read, write or speak Korean, or would just maybe like to find out what these online classes are all about, then just above this post and to the right, you should see a big red “FREE” sign. Although (at the time I wrote this) it says you’ll only get class #1 of the course, I’ve actually recently changed the system and so by entering your name and email address into there, you’ll actually now get the first 4 classes (a total of almost 4 hours worth of videos) in 5-day increments.
That way, you can learn how to read and write the Korean alphabet, learn how the basic Korean sentence works and how to ask and answer a few of the most common questions using arguably the most common verb, AND you can find out exactly how the online course works. 3 birds with one stone? Who’s heard of it!
Anyways, if you are just a beginner then these videos will really go a long way in helping you understand exactly how basic Korean works, and should make the rest of your Korean learning experience a lot easier to understand.
Well, yet another class is down. In this class we took a look at another common way to speak about the future using a style of speech that seems to have been phased out of most styles of English these days, but is still very commonly used in the Korean language.
This class was a bit of a heavy one, and introduced a few new sentence patterns as well, so if you have any questions about the class, please feel free to reply to this post and ask.
Cheers!
P.S. If you’re reading this and are just new to learning Korean and would possibly like to try to learn korean online, if you look just up to the right of this post, you’ll see a big red FREE sign. By entering your name and email under there (although it says otherwise at the time I posted this), you’ll get access to the first 4 classes of my online course (around 20 videos totallying around 4 hours of material) which will cover exactly how to read and write Korean, and get into the breakdown of the basic sentence teaching you exactly how to ask and answer questions using arguably the most common verb there is. Finding decent resources to learn Korean from can be difficult, and those videos should help get you started in the right direction. Cheers!
Here’s a video answering your question. There’ll be some more notes and examples down below the video.
Cheers!
P.S. If you’re just new to learning Korean, but would maybe like to try to learn Korean online, then if you look to the right of this post, you’ll see a big, red free sign. Under that (at the time I’m writing this), it says you’ll get over 70 minutes worth of free videos teaching how to read and write. Well, that’s true, those videos are actually just class one of the course. What you’ll also get is, although it doesn’t say it there, is classes 2, 3, and 4, which will get you reading as well as get you into the basic Korean sentence and how it breaks down and can be manipulated to ask and answer questions. A great starting point if you’re just new. (if I may say so myself). Cheers!
Additional Notes:
와 (w-ah) and 과 (gwa):
Used as ‘and’ between nouns.
와 (w-ah) follows a vowel
ex) a man and a woman: 남자 와 여자
과 (gwa) follows a consonant:
ex) bread and milk: 빵 과 우유
* Also, I didn’t mention this in the video, but we get into using and practicing it a bit later in the course, but ‘~랑’ can also be used. It translates as ‘with’, but is contextually used as ‘and’ as well.
Today was a fairly light class in terms of content, and that was on purpose. The main objective was to just get a bit more practice conjugating different verb forms, as well as give you a bit wider use of the expression ‘주세요 (jusayo)’.
If you have any questions about today’s class, or would like to leave a comment, just reply to this post.
Cheers!

P.S. If you’re reading this and are just new to Korean, the first thing I’d do is learn how to read. If you look up to the right of this post, you’ll see a big, red “FREE” sign. Below that will explain how to get over 70 minutes worth of videos explaining exactly how to read and write Korean. And if you’d care to learn more Korean online, although it doesn’t say it now, you’ll also get the next 3 classes of my online course totally free, which will go over the basic Korean sentence and how to manipulate it to ask and answer questions using arguable the most common verb. Cheers..
So today’s class is officially the last class of the ‘nuts and bolts’ of Korean. In this class, as well as last class, I’ve been trying to introduce new sentence structures in and effort to show exactly WHY the ‘nuts and bolts’ are so important.
So that has lead to a fairly heavy load in terms of new material in the last couple of classes, so if there are any questions you’d like to ask, either now or a bit down the road, just reply to this and I’ll have your answer up as soon as possible.
Cheers,

P.S. If you’re reading this and just starting to learn Korean and would like to learn Korean online, then just to the right of this, you should see a big red sign that says ‘FREE’. Stick your name and email into there and you’ll get an email sent to you right away with over 70 minutes worth of videos taken from class#1 of my in-class course teaching exactly how to read, write, and pronounce the Korean alphabet.
You’ll also get the exact hand-out we use in class so that you can follow along with everything we’re doing. (And as a tip, if you are looking to learn Korean, I fully suggest that the first thing you do is learn how to read and write. It doesn’t take long and will honestly make it SO much easier in the long run!)
P.P.S. Although in the first P.S. it says over “70 minutes”, that’s going to change soon. So by sticking your name and email into there now, very soon, you’re actually going to be getting nearly 20 videos totaling almost 4 hours worth of material, what I like to call “easily the best damn free gift and any Korean learner can get” which includes everything mentioned above and down the side, plus a bunch more.
We’re now more than half-way through what I call the ‘nuts and bolts’ of Korean – the skill you absolutely have to have in order to get to a higher level in Korean – and I think we’re starting to pick up on the pattern, so today I decided to do a couple groups of verbs together, specifically the ‘우-verbs’ and the ‘어-verbs’.
Now, on top of the conjugation of those verbs, we also introduced quite a few new sentence structures as an example of what Korean is getting into, and showing exactly why the ‘nuts and bolts’ are so important.
I fully understand there is A LOT OF content in this class, so please, if you have a question, ask it.
Cheers,
