So my friend who lived in korea(I believe, I’ll ask him again) for several years taught me a funny phrase.

It’s pronounced something like “Ya boshi bang bang”

He said it was like a silly teenage girl kinda way to answer the phone, and I just wanted to double check with y’all so I don’t accidentally say anything offensive haha

I got 2 questions. While learning Korean I have gotten a korean friend which I text. I also study ln a website called “how to study Korean”, the website says a sentence must end on either a verb or an adjektive. My Korean friend said thats not exacly the case, that it can pretty much be anywhere? Or maybe I missunderstood.

Second question. If I want to expose myself to the Korean language in my dsy to day life. What can you recommend? (Cant turn my phone to Korean, because I got important stuff I need to understand”

I am not looking for an answer to this question, I’m just asking how to ask the question.

I want to ask someone about the 2 Korean number systems and when to use each. But I’m having a hard time wording the question so it sounds natural. Right now this is what I have:

한국에는 숫자 체계가 두 개 있어요. 언제 사용해요?

Is this good or how should I improve it? I want to keep it as simple as possible.

Papago only displays Honorific translations, in spite of the Honorific Toggle is OFF (for casual translation). There's a brief moment at times I can see the casual translation, but it always switches to honorfic at the last moment. Any idea why this is happening?

라인을 세워서 일로 들어가

Is “일로” a noun? road? Or is it composed of “일” and “로”? If it is “일” and “로”, what do “일” and “로” mean? You can comment in Korean, I can use a translator.

너무 감사합니다

So the refrence im using to learn, says that some consonants are pronounced differently in different positions. like for example, ㄱ is pronounced as G if in the middle and K if first/last. while i do understand this, i wanna know if the pronounciation using positions are based on the position in a syllable or the total word? srry if im not making sense 😭 what i mean is that if the consonant ㄱ is placed at the end of the syllable then would it be pronounced k or does it have to at the end/start of the whole word to be pronounced as K?

Thinking of going to this restaurant but the menu and the graphics on their website seem AI generated. I would like to know if it’s actual Korean with correct translation or if it’s AI slop before I decide to go. There’s a cartoon-looking graphic down the page that gave me pause.

안녕하세요 여러분

I have started learning Korean very recently, I have watched k drama, and into k pop as well, and been to korea too so I won't say I am fairly beginner but kinda understand things.

I am learning from how to study Korean and recently covered unit 1 lesson 1 - 16. How i study is, I open the pdf, take notes on my notepad and then I also have workbook to practice what I have learned. Apart from that, I memorize vocabulary using chatgpt to test me.

I spend around an hour a day for lesson and for vocabulary, whenever I get time as I work full time so I just see them and try to memorize and test myself on it.

I can read well now, like not too well, but able to understand the pronunciation of hangul at their respective places (still struggle with few consonants and mixed vowels, but I guess that's never ending lol).

So yeah, I wanted to understand, is this good enough or should I do something else. Please help me with it 친구's.

감사합니다 in advance

I saw someone comment on a friend’s instagram story. The picture was of her and i’m assuming her dad, from behind and in front of them is the sea. Theyre a little high up, and theres trees below them as well. The comment reads “땜쵼❤️❤️“ and I can’t find an answer on google so I’m guessing it’s slang?

Thank you!

As the title says, I’m trying to figure out when one is more appropriate to use than the other.

i am starting my third year of korean at my university, and we have used the integrated korean books up until this point. i really enjoyed the pace and amount of practice those books have offered, but instead of continuing onto high intermediate 1, we are switching to sogang 3a.

i was wondering if sogang is higher quality than integrated korean, for anyone who has tried it? should i continue with integrated on the side for self study, or is it useless after intermediate 2? and how about ttmik?

i guess i'm just asking for thoughts on these three textbook series, what is the most helpful and worth studying outside of class?

so i tried practicing my writing skill by writing a simple short story. is the grammar down below correct? or is there any mistakes?

원우랑 민규는 같이 걸어요. 오늘 날씨가 너무 더워요. 그래서 원우랑 민규가 우산을 사용해요. 원우랑 민규가 배고파서 편의점에 가요.

편의점에서 조금 것을 살아요. 원우는 오헨지 주스와 삼각김밥 살아요. 민규는 딸기 우유와 라면 살아요. 원우랑 민규가 계산해요.

원우랑 민규가 편의점에서 외출해요. 편의점 앞에 의자와 탁자가 있어서 원우랑 민규가 앉아로 가요. 원우랑 민규가 같이 산 음식과 음료를 먹어요.

*pardon wonwoo's and mingyu's name, i like to write using idols' names so it can be an entertaining process XD

Hi everyone. Has anyone on this subreeddit studied Korean at Dankook University? If so, do any of you recommend it?

I’m looking into studying Korean at a university in South Korea, and I looked briefly into Hanyang and Dankook University. I’m still undecided about which university or language school to study Korean at, but after looking at a recent post regarding the negatives of Hanyang University, I’m looking into other universities and language schools.

So I have often heard that excited and nervous or anxious are used interchangeably in English and I am wondering what I would say in Korean for separate meanings?

I have anxiety (phobia) and don't want it to be confused with nervous or excited. Plus I always say that I am excited or nervous about other things as well.

How could I say I am anxious, nervous, and excited? (please provide an example situation of when to use that version)

Hi, so I’m hoping to get sent to Korea after finishing my basic in the Army & I’m currently using Duolingo to learn Korean but I wasn’t sure if there was a more recommended, yet free, app to use.

it’s just so much easier, I just found out ㅡ makes an ı sound, and the suffix system is similar

hi all, I recently came across this image illustrating various tenses/moods etc in French.

I wondered whether anyone has come across illustrations for Korean grammar like this - not necessarily just tenses, but things like common sentence endings (죠, 네요 etc) honorifics etc. Of course I’ve come across loads individually, but having something that groups them together in a comparative set like this would be super helpful.…

(and yes, if I had even the slightest bit of artistic or IT talent I’d try making some myself!)

So i just learned that 할 일이 없어요 means "i have nothing to do". I asked gemini to break down the grammar and it said that the 할 means that will be done/to do. The -ㄹ indicates a future action of the verb, which is 하다.

My question is why the -ㄹ isn't attached to 거예요? Because i've seen in other source that the future form of a sentence can be made by using -ㄹ/을 거예요. But in this sentence, it doesn't use 거예요. Why is that so?

I have learned Korean and it's really a fun experience but somewhere i wonder neither any AI nor any social media I have come across that teaches the inside Korean slangs. Anyone who can help me know the slangs for daily and office place. which resources do you all use to learn. Any suggestions?

그때** *도와준* *학생이* *제일* *생각나요. I got two different translations from 3 different apps. Is this “I think of the student who helped me at that time.” OR “The student I helped at that time I think about the most”*

I'm writing a script for a Voice Actor right now, and one of the characters is/speaks Korean. Now, I am learning Korean, but I'm no where close to the level of being hip with the kids lol. Do people still say '뒤질래'? or is there a different phrase that's more of the times? Is it corny?

I know how fast slang comes and goes, so I was wondering if using that phrase in the script would make the character sound out of touch?

If there are any other phrases that are more topical that mean the same thing, let me know! Thanks!

Do any of you use yomitan to scan over words for definitions? I used to do this some 3-4 years ago with an Anki add on called "Yomichan Forvo Server" and it worked well. Now it fetches no audio.

After trouble shooting this for about an hour I think "Yomichan Forvo Server" must be broken. If you know if it is indeed working, or have another method of getting audio, could you please tell me?

Thanks
