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

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

Good morning lovelies! For some of you this topic may seem a little too easy but I always like to go back to the basics and make sure I understand why things are the way they are so today I decided to focus on our favourite topic and that is PARTICLES! Obviously we're not going to talk about all the particle cause that would take ages. Today let's just focus on 에 and 에서! -에 as Time marking particle: 일곱시에 일어났어요- I woke up at seven o'clock 친구가 금요일에 왔어요- My friend came over on F

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

안녕하세요 여러분~! It feels like I haven't made any Korean learning videos in forever! I've been so preoccupied with university work and my other YouTube projects that I feel I totally abandoned our ~Weekly Korean~ videos *cries* However, I'm back on track and ready to bombard you with intense Korean learning vids! But seriously, get ready. These won't be easy. Today we'll be exploring the myriad of meanings that ~(으)로 particle has. It's a very tricky particle when it comes to trans

안녕하세요! 마가리타입니당~! It's time to warm up your mouths and jaws because this week I've got some pretty tough tongue twisters for you all! I've noticed that we haven't gone over pronunciation in a while so I decided to throw something new at you all and practice some Korean tongue twisters! Tongue twisters are a great way to improve pronunciation and learn some new vocab! 1. 간장공장 공장장은 장공장장이고, 된장공장 공장장은 공공장장이다. Factory manager Jang is soy sauce factory manger and factory manager Kon

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. I missed you guys ㅠ_ㅠ As for the app that I'm reviewing this week, it's called HelloTalk and it's a language exchange app that matches you up with native speakers of the language you want to learn and enables you to chat with them and improve your skills! How awesome is that? As awesome as it is, I did find a few minor iss

학생들 안녕~! 마가리타입니당! Sorry for being away for so long but now I'm back and ready to delve into the beautiful world of Korean conjugation :D And this week we'll be discussing future tense, which will conclude our lessons on basic verb and adjective conjugation. So let's gooooooo! HOW TO CONJUGATE? 1. Verb + (으)ㄹ 거예요 --> Simply describes a fact that will happen in the future 나는 내일에 영화를 볼거예요 - I will watch a movie tomorrow. 다음 주 학교에 갈거예요 - Next week I will go to school. 2. Verb + (

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. Also I don't count phrases like 'Hello', 'Goodbye' or 'My name is' as useful. They are basic but not useful. To me, useful

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
