한국어 배우기 Too / Also

안녕하세요! I hope you’re all doing well today ✨

-도 - too / also

Using -도 with nouns and pronouns:

-도 is treated the same way as other particles (은/는, 이/가, 을/를) so all you have to do is add it to the end of the noun or pronoun that is also doing something

For example:

저도 촣아요! - I like it too! (-도 is added to 저 because I am the person who also likes it)

저도 영화를 봤어요 - I also watched the film

저는 치긴 주세요! ... 저기요 맥주도 주세요 - Give me chicken please! ... Excuse me, give me beer too please (-도 is added to 맥주 because I would like beer, as well as the chicken I already ordered)

내일도 사무실에 갈 거예요 - I have to go to the office tomorrow too

————

Using -도 with verbs:

This is slightly more complicated, but still easy to learn! The first step is to convert your verb into it’s noun form, which I’ll teach you below

Firstly, remove -다 from the verb

Secondly add -기 하다 to the end of the verb. For example, 보다 becomes 보기 하다

To then say “too” or “also” you simply add -도 to the end of the noun like you would normally, so the end looks like -기도 하다

Examples:

가르치다 - to teach

저는 영어를 가르치기도 해요 - I also work as an English teacher

저는 지금 먹기도 해요 - I am eating too right now (has the implication of: I am doing something else but I’m also eating right now)

Hope you enjoyed this lesson! 다음에 또 뵐게요!

한국어 배우기 The Progressive Tense

안녕하세요 I hope everyone is having a good 토요일! Today, I will be covering the progressive tenses...

The Progressive Tenses in English:

Past progressive - I was cooking

Present progressive - I am reading

Future progressive - I will be sleeping

How to:

1. Take the dictionary form of the verb and remove the verb ending “-다.”

2. Add one of the following endings:

a. Present progressive: -고 있어요

b. Past progressive: -고 있었어요

c. Future progressive: -고 있을 거예요

Example Sentences:

지금 읽고 있어요 - I am reading right now

어제는 비가 오고 있었어요 - Yesterday, it was raining

저는 아파요 그겋지만 내일은 학교에 가고 있을 거예요 - I am sick but I’ll be going to school tomorrow

Note: although the past progressive and the future progressive are commonly used in daily Korean conversation, the present progressive isn’t. It is usually just replaced by the normal present tense!

Hope this lesson was handy - 주말 잘 보내세요 ✨

한국어 배우기 -하고, -(이)랑, 같이

여러분 안녕하세요! Let’s learn how to say “and” & “with”

1.

-하고 - and

- (이)랑 - and (if the word ends in a consonant, use “-(이)랑” and if it ends in a vowel, use “-랑”

Both -하고 and -(이)랑 are added onto the end of nouns and can be used interchangeably. However, -(이)랑 is used in a more casual conversation because it is considered less formal than -하고

Example Sentences:

오늘은 펜이랑 필통을 샀어요 - Today, I bought a pen and a pencil case

저는 책하고 신문을 읽어요 - I read books and newspapers

2.

같이 - together

Additionally, -하고 and -(이)랑 can be used to mean “with.” They can simply be added to the noun and left on their own or, if you want to make the meaning clearer, you can add 같이 after it

Example Sentences:

내일은 친구랑 같이 만날 거예요 - Tomorrow, I am going to meet with a friend

어제는 엄마하고 같이 먹었어요 - Yesterday, I ate with my mum

누구랑 같이 만났어요? - Who did you meet with?

I hope this little lesson was useful to someone! ✨

Hola, bonjour, 안녕하세요!

I’m going to be starting a languages degree next week and I’m super nervous so I thought I would create a blog where I can track my progress and practice.

El idioma principal que estoy estudiando es el español porque lo he estudiado durante cinco años y tengo familia en España. No pienso que mi español sea muy bueno pero en los años recientes, ha mejorado mucho. En el futuro, me gustaría ser profesora de español.

In Korean, I am basically a beginner. I’m about to start level 2 on Talk to Me in Korean and plan on fitting study time in whenever I can. Yes, I’m a kpop/kdrama fan, but no I don’t plan on running away to 한국 just to find a perfect kdrama boyfriend...

When it comes to French, I’m even more of a beginner! I studied it for around 5 years when I was younger... and have forgotten everything (how is that even possible?) I am, however, taking beginners French at university so it will start appearing on my blog quite a bit

I would love to make friends with people who wanna share study tips, chat in any of these languages, or who just wanna be friends in general!

Gracias, merci, 감사합니다 ✨

한국어 배우기 I Can / I Cannot

여러분 안녕~ Today I’m going to be doing a small lesson on how you can tell people what you can and cannot do

————

I Can....

Firstly, remove -다 from the end of the verb

Then, all you have to do is add -(으)ㄹ 수 있다 to the end of the verb instead

Use -을 수 있다 following a consonant and -ㄹ 수 있다 following a vowel

Example Sentences:

저는 영어 할 수 있어요 - I can speak English

조금 노래할 수 있어요 - I can sing a little

제가 그 음식을 요리할 수 있어요 - I can cook the food

제가 그것을 찾을 수 있어요- I can look for it

————

I Cannot....

1.

There are two ways of saying “I cannot” in 한국어 and they’re both very easy.

For the first way, follow all the same steps as you did when saying “I can” but instead, add -(으)ㄹ 수 없다 to the verb. It’s as simple as that!

Example Sentences:

한국어 할 수 없어요 - I can’t speak Korean

오늘은 사무실에 갈 수 없어요 - I can’t go to the office today

However, this way of saying “I can’t” isn’t actually used very often in Korean speech.

The second way I’m about to show you is more commonly used when talking.

2.

For this second method, all you have to do is add “뭇” before the verb.

Remember, if the verb ends in 하다 (e.g. 공부하다), you put it before the -하다 part (공부 못 하다)

Example Sentences:

저는 매운음식을 못 먹어요 - I can’t eat spicy food

내일은 친구를 못 만나요 - I can’t meet my friend tomorrow

저는 아파 그래서 내일 학교에 못 가요 - I’m sick so I can’t go to school tomorrow

I hope this lesson was useful! I think being able to say “I can” and “I cannot” is super useful to know and can give you lots of extra things to talk about!

안녕히 계세요! 🌿✨
