안녕하십니까?

In our last unit, we learned how to explain the specific look

and feel of our hometown in more detail using the particle '도'.

In this unit, we will practice how to introduce our hometown

using all the expressions we have learned in this module.

First, take a look at the dialogue.

The conversation we just watched

is about Jeju Island.

Let's look at what was said in the dialogue.

고향이 어디예요? Where is your hometown?

제 고향은 제주도예요.

My hometown is Jeju Island.

제주도 날씨는 어때요? How is the weather in Jeju Island?

날씨가 좋아요. 춥지 않아요. The weather is good.

It's not cold.

바다가 아름다워요? Is the ocean beautiful?

네, 바다가 아름다워요. 산도 아름다워요.

Yes, the ocean is beautiful.

The mountains are also beautiful.

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, '고향이 어디예요?',

you could answer with, '부산이에요'.

And the answer to the question, '고향 날씨가 어때요?',

could be, '날씨가 더워요' or '날씨가 추워요'.

The last question was, '고향에 무엇이 있어요?',

and you could answer with, '산이 있어요. 바다도 있어요'.

How were your answers?

Now let's look at another dialogue.

Do you understand what they just said?

Let's check what they said in the dialogue.

고향이 어디예요? Where is your hometown?

제 고향은 프랑스 니스예요. My hometown is Nice, in France.

고향이 어때요? How is your hometown?

바다가 아름다워요. 공원도 있어요.

The ocean is beautiful.

There are parks as well.

무엇이 유명해요? What is it famous for?

유명하다 here means 'to be famous.'

The speaker uses the word '유명하다' to ask what is famous in that place.

와인이 유명해요. It's famous for wine.

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, '고향이 어디예요?',

and you could answer with, '칭다오예요'.

The answer to the second question '고향이 어때요?',

could be, '경치가 아름다워요' or '복잡해요'.

The last question was, '무엇이 유명해요?'

And a proper answer would be like,

'맥주가 유명해요' or '와인이 유명해요'.

How did you do?

Now, let's look at more dialogues where students are using

what we have learned so far.

In this module,

you learned various expressions to introduce your hometown.

Do you think you can make

an impressive introduction of your hometown to others in Korean?

In the next module, you will study some expressions about food.

Does it sound interesting?

Then let's meet again soon!
