안녕하세용~! Last week I was asked what are the uses of ~는데 and I was terrified of the thought of trying to explain it because it's just such a brain killer. It's honestly not that difficult, however it does require a certain knowledge and familiarity of Korean language and is mostly based on context. As much as I was afraid of this topic, I decided to be brave and tackle it head on with you guys, so here's what I came up with: ~는데 and ~는 데 are VERY different and mean TOTALLY diff


Episode 23: -서 as a Cause-and-Effect Particle!
안녕하세용~! -What does -서 do?-
This little particle has the power to merge two sentences into one, serving as a 'because' or a 'so' equivalent. This particle illustrates a cause and effect relationship between two clauses of the sentence. -Where does -서 stand in the sentence?-
-서 can be added to VERBS or ADJECTIVES, not nouns (!), in the 'cause' clause of the sentence. Basically, it'll all make sense in the examples :) Examples:
돈이 없어서 여행을 할 수 없어요- Because I don't have money, I


Episode 22: -에 and -에서 Explained!

학생들 안녕하세요! 잘 공부했어용? We've reached yet another milestone!!! Our 20th episode learning together!! I'm so excited even though it's almost midnight and I'm falling asleep :3 Useful Info: I divide consonants into 3 groups in my mind for convenience- the double consonants, the 'regular' consonants, and the 'soft' consonants. Soft consonants- ㅋ (k), ㅍ (p), ㅌ (t), ㅊ (ch) I call them soft because they will only have a this soft/airy pronunciation and will always sound the same in ever


Episode 2: Tricky Vowels
안녕ㅇㅇㅇ 인구들ㄹㄹㄹㄹ! ^^ I'm sorry for a small delay, I was going to upload this video yesterday but it just took too long to edit because I had so much footage to go through! I guess I was just so eager to share everything I knew about this week's topic that I ended up with over 20 minutes of footage, so please forgive me! As for the theme of this week, it is VOWELS (모음 "mo-eum"). PRONUNCIATION GUIDE: 아- 'a' --> that sound we all make when we get a genius idea or suddenly understan

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.
