안녕하세요 여러분!! 마가리타입니당~! It feels so nice to be making videos again. I know I've been gone for only a few weeks but it really felt like a lifetime has passed.

Episode 11: Truly Useful Korean Phrases
안녕 친구들~! 마가리타입니당! Sorry for not uploading this video yesterday but I started working part time recently in addition to studying in university so gaaah I barely have any free time :/ As for what we'll be discussing in the video, 'useful phrases' is a very extensive concept because some phrases that may seem useful to one person will be useless for another.

Episode 10: 이/가 vs. 는/은 Subject Marking Particles
안녕하세요! 마가리타입니당~! :) Last week I promised you guys to make a video specifically focusing on the 이/가 particle because it can get quite confusing for Korean learners, considering how it is a unique feature of Korean language that not many other languages have (we definitely don't have these in English). So this week I decided to discuss the 이/가 particle as a subject marker and compare it with the 는/은 subject marker so that their difference can be clear. 이/가 AS A SUBJECT MARKER B


Episode 9: Sentence Structure and Particles
안녕 친구들~! I am currently sitting at a lecture, spending my time productively and uploading this video on YouTube (KIDS, do NOT follow my example and pay attention during class! ^^).

Learning Korean On-the-go: Useful Smartphone Apps
안녕~!!!! I'm pretty sure that the title of this video is self explanatory so without any unnecessary blabbering, here are all the apps that I've mentioned in the video (and maybe even a few that I didn't) : 1. Pop-Popping Korean (Free for Android and Apple) This beginner-friendly app mainly illustrates the pronunciation of the Korean alphabet through audio and animated demonstrations of mouth and tongue positions. Though the breadth of what the app teaches is rather limited, t


How I'm Learning Korean and Korean Study Tips!
안녕하세요 여러분~! Congratulations to those who have just decided to dive into the beautiful world of Korean learning and welcome back to all my fellow more experienced and dedicated learners! Personally, I am not a textbook learner and I find less structured learning more fun and interesting (Note: I'm not learning Korean for academic or professional purposes so I can take it easy). Therefore, I managed to compile a lengthy list of online resources that I've used over the years. I
