Hey Rob Seonsaengnim, not that this is a question, just a comment. Just wanted to let you know that I think you’re an awesome teacher and your lessons have helped me a whole lot, and I hope you keep it up. By the way, you know how the lessons are automatically emailed every 5 days, well could it be possible to get them like every 3 days or something? Thanks for all your effort, kamsahamnida!

I would suggest not necessarily memorizing a list of when to use one system and when to use the other system, ’cause if you do that, down the road it can be confusing when trying to recall what you memorized.

Rather, I would just learn the differences through experience, take it as it comes. For example, in class #4 we learned how to deal with money (and a few other things). Now you know that. In class number six, we learn the other system and it deals with age. Once you learn that, you’ll know it. I think learning that kind of stuff by experience (each different situation and which one uses which) is a much more effective approach.

I hope that makes sense for you. Thanks Grace,

Rob…

This has nothing to do with Class 3 but for numbers when do you use hana, dool, saet and when do you use il, ee, sam?

In all honesty, I don’t know. My best guess would be that there isn’t a specific meaning or purpose of that one syllable in that case. My advice would be just remember the ~ㅂ니다 as a structure all together and not worry about breaking it into individual pieces.

Hi Rob,

In the honorific conjugation of the verb to be, the “da” 다 is dropped and the “nida” or “niga” is added for statements and questions respectively. What is the meaning and purpose of the syllable “ni” 니 in this conjugation pls?

Dear Rob, maybe a stupid question, but how is it with the orthography in Korean? From your lessons (sorry, didn’t get too far now) I until now had the impression that Korean words can be written in several ways, as long as it sounds phonetically the same. But that’s probably a misunderstanding, no?

Hello Rob,
I enjoyed Lesson 3, most of the questions I have in mind were answered here. I took 2 lessons today and I made a lot of notes already. I’ll take a few days break before lesson 4 so I could practice.

Thanks again!

I’m living in Ulsan now and I’m pumped that I know how to ask for and get more Kimchi at restaurants, ahaha.

Can’t wait to get off work and start working on my next class!
