Learn to Speak Korean 1

Yonsei University

4.9 (1,562 ratings) | 62K Students Enrolled

Welcome to Learn to Speak Korean 1! This course is for beginner students who are familiar with the Korean alphabet, Hangeul. Through this course students will learn the skills essential for daily interactions with Koreans while living in Korea. This course consists of six modules, and each module is composed of five units. Each unit has vocabulary, grammar and expressions, conversation practice, video clips, quizzes, a workbook, and vocabulary lists. In order to assist students with their independent studies, Korean learning materials such as lecture notes, workbooks, and vocabulary lists detailing each day’s lecture are also provided. The vocabulary lists are accompanied by English, Chinese, and Japanese translations. I hope that you enjoy all this program has to offer over the next six weeks. After studying in this program, you will be able to have a real Korean conversation with your newly acquired knowledge of the Korean language. Thank you!

I learned more in this six week course than i did in my year of self teaching Korean. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to advance their Korean after having learned Hangul!

Professor

안녕하십니까? In our last unit, you learned how to describe a specific person or

thing and indicate whether it is near or far away from you.

In this unit, let's practice asking and answering questions about our

friends by using all the expressions we have learned in this module.

First, take a look at the dialogue.

Did you understand what they said in the video?

The dialogue was about the man's friend.

Let's look at what was said.

The woman asks 한국 친구가 있어요? Do you have a Korean friend?

And the man answered, 네, 있어요. Yes, I do.

친구가 무엇을 해요? What does your friend do?

한국말을 가르쳐요. She teaches Korean.

친구가 친절해요? Is she kind?

네, 친절해요. Yes, she is kind.

Now, listen and repeat.

Very good. Now listen to me and answer.

Well done.

Now, practice with your friend.

Did you understand the dialogues?

Now can you answer my questions?

Well done.

When you are asked, 한국 친구가 있어요?

you could answer with 네, 있어요. or 아니요, 없어요.

And the answer to the question, 친구가 무엇을 해요?

could be 영어를 공부해요. or 일을 해요.

The last question was 친구가 바빠요?

and you could answer with 네, 바빠요.

How were your answers?

Now let's look at another dialogue.

What did the students say?

Let's check what they said in the dialogue.

The first question was 한국 친구가 있어요? Do you have a Korean friend?

And the answer was, 네, 있어요. Yes, I do.

친구가 어때요? What is your friend like?

재미있어요. He is fun.

친구가 무엇을 좋아해요? What does your friend like to do?

영화를 좋아해요. 영화를 자주 봐요. He likes movies. He watches them often.

The word 자주 in this sentence means often.

Now, listen and repeat after me.

Excellent, now listen to and answer my questions.

Good job.

Now, practice with your friend.

How was it?

Now, it's your turn to answer my questions.

Very good.

The first question was 한국 친구가 있어요?

and you could answer with 네, 있어요. or 아니요, 없어요.

The answer to the second question, 친구가 어때요?

could be, 재미있어요. or 친절해요.

The last question was 친구가 무엇을 좋아해요?

And a proper answer would be something like,

영화를 좋아해요. or 음악을 좋아해요.

How did you do?

Now, let's look at more dialogues where students are using what we have learned so far.

Did you pay

close attention to the dialogues?

I hope you understood what was said in the video.

In this module,

you learned various expressions to introduce your friend in Korean.

Do you think you can talk about your friend in Korean now?

The title of the next module is 제주도가 아름다워요. Jeju Island is beautiful.

Do you know about this beautiful Korean island?

If you're curious to know more about it, be sure to check out the next module.

Thank you.

Bye.
