Convenience Store Vocabulary - 편의점 어휘

Hello everyone!! This post is based off an ask that I got recently! You may have noticed in your hometown (고향), that some convenience stores (편의점) are owned by Koreans! Sometimes, they will write things in Korean and English for their Korean and English speaking customers (and if they go the extra mile, there might be Chinese, too)! This is a good place to practice your spoken Korean with the workers / owners of the store.

If you want fruit vocabulary: Fruit Vocab - 과일 어휘 (QUIZLET) If you want vegetable vocabulary: Veggie Vocab - 채소 어휘 (QUIZLET) If you want shopping vocabulary: Shopping Vocab - 쇼핑 어휘 (QUIZLET)

If you want to know some basic 편의점 어휘, then follow along and tell me how it goes! 

To start, let’s first understand the word “편의점”:      ☆ 편 + 하다 = 편하다 - to be comfortable (adj.)      ☆ 점 - store

Another thing you need to know is that it is VERY common to go and eat at a 편의점. Here is some vocab you’ll need to know for that:

     ☆ 젓가락 – chopsticks       ☆ 라면국물 버리는 곳 – pour ramen water here      ☆ 플라스틱 – plastic      ☆ 쓰레기 – trash      ☆ 켄 – can      ☆ 병 – bottle 

But before you enter, you may see one of two signs on the door (문):

한금지급기 / 에이티엠 - ATM       ☆ 하금지급기 없음 - No ATM

고정문 - fixed door (don’t push on this, it won’t open)

With number 1, you might need to withdraw cash (예금출금), here is some small ATM vocab:

     ☆ 예금출금 – withdraw cash      ☆ 카드를 넣어주십시오 – please put your card in      ☆ (1) 만원 = 10, 000 won           ♡ 5 만원 = 50, 000 won           ♡ 10 만원 = 100,000 won      ☆ 명세표 – invoice      ☆ 영수증 – receipt      ☆ 현금 자동 지급기 – cash dispenser

Now you can buy your fave snacks / ramen! Here’s some vocab for when you’re at the cashier:

    ☆ 이 게 / 이 것이 얼마예요? – How much is this?     ☆ 비싸다 – to be expensive     ☆ ‘X’원입니다 - it is ‘x’ won     ☆ 결제 해드릴게요 – I’ll ring it up for you     ☆ 넣어 드릴까요? – would you like a bag?           ♡ 네, 넣으세요 - Yes, please bag it           ♡ 아니요, 그냥 들고 가겠습니다 – No, I will just carry it     ☆ 영수증이 필요하세요? – do you need a receipt?           ♡ 네, 영수증을 주세요 – yes, please give me a receipt           ♡ 아니요, 괜찮아요– No, it’s okay / I’m okay           ♡ OR: you can just say, “네 / 아니요”     ☆ 거스름돈 / 잔돈 – change     ☆ 또 오세요 – come again

Some food you’ll find in a 편의점: (these are just some I love! if you have some snacks that you love that aren’t on here, please write them in the comments!!)

   ☆ 삼각김밥 - triangle kimbap    ☆ 도시갈 - lunchbox / bento    ☆ 우유 -  milk          ♡ 딸기 맛 - strawberry flavour -> 딸기(맛)우유          ♡ 바나나 맛 - banana flavour          ♡ 멜론 맛 - melon flavour    ☆ 빼빼로 - pepero (Korean pocky)    ☆ 찹쌀약과 - Korean sweet cake    ☆ 꼬깔콘 - corn chips    ☆ 허니버터칩 - honey butter chips    ☆ 초코파이 케이크 - Choco-Pie Cake (a staple in Korean snacks)

Hope this helped to the person that asked, and to the people that wanted to know!

Hello All! Welcome back to “Book Recommendations from SK101″ ~

Today I have a very special book in mind that I want to share with you:

Traditional Folktales in Korean and English: Korean Stories for Language Learners [언어 학습자를 위한 한국 전래동화]

I use this book religiously to practice my reading. I also use this for reading comprehension when I tutor! It is the perfect book for intermediate* learners! Here’s why I love it so much!

1. MINIMAL ROMANIZATION      ~ unfortunately, I would like it to be ZERO, however, the only romanization you see is in the vocabulary section between the Korean and English. If you know me well, you know that romanization is my arch-nemesis. I hate it with a burning passion and strongly urge and recommend everyone to learn the alphabet asap. Even though this book has some romanization in it, it doesn’t rely on it; the stories and their translations are in Korean and English. 

If you need help with pronunciation, you can go to HiNative and ask for help. Or you can type the word you want help with into Papago and press the “listen” button (even though it’s an automated voice, it’s better than romanization). 

2. Comprehension Questions      ~ I. Love. Comprehension. When I tutor for the Korean Culture Group at my university, the biggest thing I do is reading and comprehension. It’s one thing to be able to read what’s on the page, and it’s another thing to understand and put it into your own words. I think the biggest step to fluency is actively thinking about the language and not just the translations. This book gives you writing and reading exercises after every story - with the option of writing it in Korean or English. 

3. Helpful Tips at the Back of the Book      ~ if you are a beginner, they have a helpful guide to pronouncing Korean sounds in the back - as well as writing help and creating Korean syllables. 

4. The Glossary      ~ I have never seen a more efficient glossary in my entire life. The first portion of the glossary is dedicated to the stories. So, if you’re looking for more specific story-related vocabulary, that section is perfect. However, if you want more wide-spread vocabulary and a broader spectrum, then there is a separate section for that. It is split alphabetically (A-Z) with the English before the Korean. It helps because there are also grammar points in the back (only con: it doesn’t tell you 100% how to use them). 

5. Audio of the Stories      ~ a big part of learning is listening. As one of the four pillars (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), being able to listen in Korean is crucial for fluency. The book comes with an audio CD and a tracklist at the front of the book!!!! You can listen and follow along or just listen, however you choose to use the audio, it’s entirely up to you! And don’t worry!!! If you purchase the ebook, you can find the audio here. 

The book is relatively cheap. $14USD ($18.50CAD, ₩16671, € 12) and can be found on Tuttle’s website for $18USD (go to Amazon or the Indie Publishing - it’s cheaper). 

I will be doing more book recommendations in the future for my followers! I hope that you found this useful and that if you purchase the book, you love it as much as I do!! Happy Learning Everyone :)

~ SK101

*intermediate: this book shows a wide range of difficulty in stories. The first few stories are extremely easy (for intermediate learners). It progressively gets more challenging towards the end, which is good for intermediate learners as it will be a challenge. I recommend this book to people who are in the intermediate stage, however, if you are a beginner or advanced, you might also learn something with this book too.

Vocabulary: Emotions / Feelings ( 감정)

안녕! Hi! In this vocab lesson, we’re going to learn how to express our feelings in Korean! When learning basic Korean, you may have heard the following expressions using the word 기분, which means “feeling”:

기분이 좋아요. = I feel good (as in “in a good mood”)

기분이 나빠요. = I feel bad (as in “in a bad mood”)

But you don’t always need the word 기분 when expressing emotions. For example, you can just conjugate the adjectives in this list to describe what you’re feeling! (ex. you can say 저는 기뻐요 to mean “I am glad”) Let’s learn some of this vocab!

energetic = 정력적인

That’s about it for this list! Hope it was helpful! 질문 물어보세요! Please send me any questions you may have! 안녕!

[itslostfocus]

에 (Place or Time)

it is added to the word indicating place or time. In English it would be something like “at” or “to”. 

They can be placed anywhere in the sentences less at the end.

Examples:

*Place: 집에, 학교에, 방에, 거실에, 운동장에, 책상에, 나무에, 차에, 뒤에(back), 앞에(in front of).

*Time: 12시에, 낮에, 밤에, 아침에, 저녁에, 새벽에

[koreanling]

위해 vs 도록

도록 is generally used so that something can be done. ~도록 하다 also has the meaning of “to tell/instruct”, lesser than a command but stronger than a suggestion, and so it has a more direct feeling.

앞으로 늦지 않도록 하세요 "Dont be late anymore” 나갈 때 불을 끄도록 해요 “Make sure to turn the lights off when you leave” 감기에 걸리지 않도록 조심하세요 “Be careful not to catch a cold”

위해 means more that it is “for something/in order to”.

여친을 위해 목걸이를 샀어요 "I bought a necklace for my girlfriend” 한국에 가기 위해 한국어를 공부하고 있어요. “I’m studying korean in order to go to korea”

Grammar

Lesson Twenty-Five: Looke Like...

Masterlist

Previous Lesson

안녕하세요 여러분! Today we are going to be looking at how to express that something “looks like” something.

시작합시다!

-아 / 어 / 여 보이다

If you wanted to say that something seems like something or looks like something (this is to express the fact that something looks like something rather than opinion), you could use the verb ending -아 / 어 / 여 보이다.

보다 = To see

Conjugation:

Verb stem + -아 / 어 / 여 보이다

Example:

맛있다 (Delicious) + -어 보이다

맛있어 보이다 = To look delicious, To seem delicious

좋다 (Good) + -아 보이다

좋아 보이다 = To look good, To seem good

지치다 (Tired) + -여 보이다

지쳐 보이다 = To look tired, To seem tired

Nouns

When you want to say and noun looks or seems like something, you can add the word 처럼 (like...) to the end of the noun and then add 보이다.

Example:

고양이 (Cat) + -처럼 + 보이다

고양이처럼 보이다 = To look like a cat, To seem like a cat

Sample Sentences

-

“오늘 아침 기분이 좀 안 좋아 보이네요.”

You seem to be down this morning.

안 좋다 = (To not be good) + -아 보이다

안 좋아 보이다 = To not look good, To not seem good

-

“이건 저한테 너무 작아 보이네요.”

It looks too small for me.

작다 (To be small) + -아 보이다

작아 보이다 = To look small, To seem small

-

“허수아비가 진짜 사람처럼 보이네요!”

The scarecrow looks like a real person!

사람 (Person) + -처럼 + 보이다

사람처럼 보이다 = To look like a person, To seem like a person
