Hey!


Here’s the next set of vids in the “How-to Korean series, going over some basic (and some not-so-basic) things you can say in different situations around Korea. Below each video, there’s a list of what expressions that particular video goes over. So check those out and watch the videos for basic explanations and pronunciation of each one.


I hope you find them useful, and if you have any questions you’d like answered, or any expressions you’d like to know how to say, just reply to this and let me know.


And one other thing, in the videos you’ll notice that I NEVER use English phonetics to write Korean. I personally think it’s a waste of time and creates more confusion than actually helps. So if you don’t know how to read and write, then I highly suggest that’s the first thing you do. And if you would like to, well you’re in luck! Check out this page. You can get the first four classes (just under 4 hours of videos of videos) of the online class here at LearnKoreanOnline.NET totally FREE. Classes 1 and 2 will show you everything you need to know to be able to read and write.

And if you can already read and write, but not a whole lot else, classes 3 & 4 get into the basic sentence and teach you a few VERY useful things that you’ll both hear and use all the time during your stay here. So yeah, that’s all. Enjoy the videos (down below) and I’ll talk to you soon.

Cheers,

Rob…

Hi,

Another question was asked, this one about consonant clusters (if you don’t know what those are, don’t worry, they’re explained in the video) and whether or not they are worth learning.

Check out the video to find out what I think!

Happy learning…




I hope that helps, but if you haven’t yet learned how to read or learn anything about the basic sentence and how it breaks down, then I highly suggest you head here to claim your free gift – the first four classes of the online class, just under 4 hours worth of videos along the printable handouts we use in class so you can follow along with everything we do in the videos. If you are new to Korean, then that is where you want to start. Study those videos, then you can come back to these “how-to” Korean videos.

Hey,

This’ how-to Korean’ video is actually an answer to a question by one of the students of LearnKoreanOnline.NET.  The question was about the statement ‘무수 말인지 몰라요’ which translates to “I don’t know what you’re saying”, and actually the question was more specifically, what does the ‘무슨 말인지’ part of that sentence mean?

So check out the video (down below), and if you have any more questions about it or anything else, fire away.

Cheers, and happy learning!

Rob…

p.s. If you’re new to Korean, this video will be a bit over your head so my suggestion would to head here and get the 4 hours of free videos teaching the basics. That’s where you want to start, and you can always come back to this later.

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.
