Learn Korean with Aydan

  In this post I will share tips on how to remember Korean alphabet (Hangul) easily. Sometimes I hear Korean beginner learners say it is difficult to memorize all the Korean letters. I was quite surprised when I heard that because to me it was   easy as a breeze . I will give you that there are a couple dozen of them in total but there are tricks and techniques to memorize all of them without much hassle. First on the consonants. you only have to remember the basic ones including ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㄹ,ㅁ,ㅂ,ㅅ,ㅇ,ㅈ,ㅎ The below ones are just stronger versions of some of the above consonants ㅋ => ㄱ ㅊ => ㅈ ㅍ => ㅂ ㅌ => ㄷ They look very similar with their counterparts so it is very easy to remember. And then we have the double consonants 쌍자음 Again they are simply another variation of their single counterparts so it shouldn’t be difficult to remember either. ㄲ => ㄱ ㄸ => ㄷ ㅃ => ㅂ ㅆ => ㅅ ㅉ => ㅈ So it all boils down to memorizing only 10 consonants. Now we come to vowels....

So you’ve decided to study Korean! That’s awesome! But let me just give you a cautionary warning. Despite what you may have been told by numerous language learning websites that are attempting to sell you their services, Korean is not easy. I have studied lots of languages for years and I can assure you, Korean is easily the hardest. At least it is in my opinion. Why? Well, I will give you exactly the answer to that and what you should expect while embarking on the journey filled with blood, sweat and tears towards fluency in Korean. Speaking Language vs Writing Language  Korean has an incredibly simple writing system, but don’t let that lure you into a false sense of security. While the writing system is notoriously easy, there’s a catch- it is essentially a separate language. In written Korean, certain words and conjugations are used in lieu of the ones used in spoken conversation. The conjugations may not be that difficult to remember, but remembering which words are only used f...

Today we start of easy by learning the usage of 전 and 전에. After that we'll go deeper and learn about the ㅂ- irregular verbs. You are doing great! Examples: 전 = before, front, earlier 전에 = in front of (preposition) 수업 전에 = before class In this example you can see 전에 is placed after the noun. If you want to use 전에 with a verb, the verb must become a noun. Examples: 가다 = to go 가기 = noun version of 가다 가기 전에 = before going 사다 = to buy 사기 = noun version of 사다 사기 전에 = before buying 사기 전에 잘 생각하세요 = think well before buying Just like every language, Korean has some irregularities too. Today’s irregularity is the ㅂ-irregular verbs.  Verb stems that end in ㅂ are irregular These verbs are only irregular when you add a tense suffix.  How does it work then? 돕다 and 곱다: ㅂ becomes 오  Any other verb: ㅂ becomes 우 Examples: 돕다 = to help Last vowel is 오 so ㅂ becomes 오 Present tense: 도 + 오 +아요 = 도와요 Past tense: 도 + 오 + 았어요 = 도왔어요 Future tense: 도 + 오 + ㄹ 거예요 = 도울 거예요* *돕다 an...

  Study sources🧠 Self-studying isn’t always easy. It can be very overwhelming and you have no idea where to start. To help you a bit, here are some sources that I use to study Korean. Grammar📕 Talk To Me In Korean (Website/books) I use TTMIK as my main study source. It’s great and structured! It explains things really well and detailed. It contains 9 levels, each with up to 31 lessons for  free!  You can take these lessons at your own speed. Besides the free lessons TTMIK also has a bookstore where you can actually buy the lessons in actual books, for those who prefer studying on paper rather than on a computer. Other than the lessons they have multiple other books you can purchase. You can also upgrade your account to a premium account which gives you access to even more lessons, quizzes, certificates and dialogue videos. But I promise you, even with a free account, TTMIK is definitely one of the best sources out there.  Korean From Zero (Pdf) When I first started...

  안녕하세요 여러분! Disclaimer: these are some tips that have worked for me. Some of these may work for others and not some people and that's okay!~ I will be giving two or three tips for each~ Listening When it comes to improving your listening skills it's like training your ears. Whether its music, k-dramas, or even just listening to someone speak Korean. You can practice by watching YouTube videos in Korean as theres Korean YouTubers who have a lot of content and even subtitles in Korean and english. K-dramas are a good way to enjoy a bit of entertainment as well as just listening to what their saying. I like to use k-dramas as a way of lazy studying. I will find a new or favorite k-drama. I make sure the language is in Korean and subtitles are in English. This way I can understand as well as train my ears. This is a way I pick up a few vocabulary words as well. Speaking For speaking I like to do something called listen and repeat. This is a way of doing both listening and speaking...
