Today’s class is the last class that focuses on using the verb 이다, and is teaching the sentence pattern, how to say you’re “not” something.  When I first arrived here, there were so many Americans that so many Korean people you met just assumed you were American.  Then about 3 years into my time here, that shifted (in my town anyways) and Canadians took over.  So after a while, once people started realizing that, it was the rest of the world’s people here to who to tell people they weren’t Canadian.  Either way, it’s a sentence I can guarantee you’re going to use a lot, and not just for your nationality.  So to make sure you have full understanding, and that you’ve got a good grasp on the use of this verb before we move on, feel free to post any questions you might have here.

Cheers!

P.S. If you’re new to Korea and think you might be interested in learning Korean, there are two things you can do to get started…

The first is, if you don’t know how to read, check out the page on here titled “Learn How To Read And Write Korean Now”.  The lesson we use in the class is now available for download on that page as well so you can follow along.

The second is, keep an eye out for “hands-down the best FREE gift any complete or struggling beginner Korean learner can get.”  There are just a few things remaining to be sorted before the launch of that hopefully in a few weeks.
