안녕하세요. Hello, everyone. In our last unit, you learned how to explain the location of a person or a thing. In this unit, you will learn how to express the look and feel of one's hometown. First, let's watch a short video. Two people are talking about the weather in their hometown. What did they say in the video? 고향 날씨가 어때요? How is the weather in your hometown? 날씨가 더워요. It's hot. Listen one more time. 고향 날씨가 어때요?, 날씨가 더워요. How is your hometown? Is the weather hot? Or is it beautiful? How can you describe the look and feel of a place? First, let's learn vocabulary concerning weather. 덥다, to be hot, 덥다 춥다, to be cold, 춥다 아름답다, to be beautiful, 아름답다 가깝다, to be close, 가깝다 쉽다, to be easy, 쉽다 어렵다, to be difficult, 어렵다 귀엽다, to be cute, 귀엽다 Now listen and repeat after me. Let's check your vocabulary. Look at the picture and say the words in Korean. The words we just practiced are the verbs that have verb stems ending in 'ㅂ'. From now on, we will study the conjugation of 'ㅂ' verbs. Some action verbs or descriptive verbs that end with 'ㅂ' are irregularly conjugated. We will call these verbs ' 브verbs'. These verbs include the ones we learned today, such as '덥다', '춥다', '아릅답다', '가깝다', '쉽다', '어렵다' and '귀엽다' The 'ㅂ' of the verb stem in these verbs changes to '우' when it meets an ending that starts with a vowel. For example, when we change '덥다' to the '-어요' form, the verb stem '덥' meets '-어요'. So the 'ㅂ' changes to 우 because of the vowel '어' in '-어요'. and then '우' and '-어요' are contracted to '-워요', so the form becomes '더워요'. Then how would you conjugate '춥다'? Yes, it's the same as '덥다'. The 'ㅂ' in '춥' changes to '우' because of the vowel '어' in '-어요'. and when '우' meets '-어요' it is contracted to '-워요'. So, we get '추워요'. Let's change '아름답다'. The same rule applies. '아름답' meets '-어요' so the verb stem ending in 'ㅂ' changes to use '우'. '아름다워요'. How about '가깝다'? Right. It becomes '가까워요'. However, not all 'ㅂ' verbs go through a change to '우' when they meet a vowel. For example, action verbs like '입다', '잡다' or descriptive verbs like '좁다' have regular conjugation, so there is no change to '우'. So, when you conjugate these verbs to a declaritive form, '입다' becomes '입어요', '잡다' changes to '잡아요', and '좁다' becomes '좁아요'. It's quite complicated, so make sure you memorize the irregular 'ㅂ' verbs to avoid making a mistake. Do you think you can do it? Now it's time to practice. Make a sentence with the given words. Now listen to an answer the questions. Now it's time to do some speaking practice using the expressions we have learned so far. First take a look at the dialogue. 고향 날씨가 어때요? How is the weather in your hometown? 날씨가 더워요. It is hot. Now listen and repeat. This time, please answer my questions. Excellent. Now, ask your friend a question and let them answer. Well done. Now can you answer my question? 고향 날씨가 어때요? Right, your answer could be '날씨가 더워요' or '날씨가 추워요'. Next you will watch some dialogues using the expressions we learned. Listen carefully. How was it? In this unit, you learned how to express the look and feel of your hometown. Did you have fun describing your hometown in Korean? In our next unit, you will continue to learn how to describe your hometown but using negative forms. See you next time! 안녕히 계십시오.
