Korean Lessons for Beginners 004

[DarkMangaIza]

선생님, 언제 결혼하셨어요? This sentence is a tongue twister! =P

[MRKLBS]

전화 = 电话 (diàn huà) in Chinese, 電話(denwa) in Japanese

(I write this because the teacher said something about this on the video xD)

[littlesunshine09]

Thank you so much! Your way of teaching is really good and it's fun! THAT's how people can successfully learn a language: Having fun while learning :) And I think your English is as awesome as your Korean! Really, good job!

[meikajam05]

ahm... 결혼 ... did I hear it correct? when you pronounce 결홈? am I correct? please answer^_^ thanks...

[tokee1234567]

@meikajam05 no.... he did pronounce it 결혼... the mouth shape is like english. there's a clear difference between a mouth shape of M /N and subtle difference in sounds for these letters

[meikajam05]

@tokee1234567 thanks ... that help... anyway Im just directing to the website busyatom.com that's why Im not often using my youtube account:)) thanks again ....

[SSTriplePilipinas]

i dont get it. shouldn't recording be a verb?

[melonowy20sorbet]

hahah i must be overzealous student, cause i have pen, note and also attention since first lesson

[Jilltheanimelover]

@melonowy20sorbet I know right me to ,,, xD I have written like everything down xD

[melonowy20sorbet]

@Jilltheanimelover i dont know whats with u, but i still have problems with pronounciation even being that concerned on lessons XD pen, note and attention dont help XD

[Jilltheanimelover]

@melonowy20sorbet Its also still kinda hard to pronounce it right for me,, but I'm kinda used to learning new languages so I dont mind ^^.

[letthekidssmile]

@Jilltheanimelover I prepared a book especially for his lesson. xD

[Jilltheanimelover]

@letthekidssmile Kinda the same here,, although I have a binder xD

[MrOops995]

선성님 ,결혼 하셨이요 ?

[letthekidssmile]

Sir, I am wondering, when you pronounced the word 오학녕, the ᄒ seems to be silenced. Is it supposed to be so? And, if I were to write 대학교 선생님, is a space between 대학교 and 선생님 obligatory? Or should there be no space? Thank you, by the way. I've tried searching for various channels for Korean learning material, and seems to me, your channel provides the best way there is to learn Korean for foreigners like me! 선생님 청말, 감사해요!

[tokee1234567]

@letthekidssmile no. its not silenced. it's just very faint.

[letthekidssmile]

@tokee1234567 Oh, thank you! ;D

[jigoku66]

So... What does 님 in 선생님 mean?

[SparkzMxzXZ]

선생님, you are very daebak! HAHA I have learnt more from you than I have learn in two semesters of Korean lessons in school. :-) I appreciate this very much, you have inspired me to put in effort into learning this beautiful language again.

[smilvn4]

걸혼 is "jie hun" (pronounced as jee-eh hw-unn) but the tone is similar ^V^

[QtrAngle1]

so, if i wanna say " how did u do it " i say etokk hasaeyo OR etokk hashasaeyo ??ppllzz REPLY ;))

[nomiko1223]

Oh, it was very good, but a little bit difficult... i so want to learn korean, but its getting hard.

[lylacgirl123]

xD when you did the cute version of annyeonghaseyo i was laughing so much!! Kamsahamnida!

OH! Its Phillipines, then Filipino.

[lylacgirl123]

waaaahhh i'm having such a hard time speaking korean fast. Like, what would be fast to me, is normal to native korean speakers. ahhh i feel like its a tongue twister! Any ideas of a good practice for working up the speed?

[MabeKaby]

i love it when there are some different versions of hello annyeonghaseyo ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[reubenshephe25]

Unusual comments with this video yet again.

[criskity]

Chinese: jie hun (結婚). jie = to tie, to bind; hun = marriage, matrimony

[MAAMEEMAAA]

I love this guy he's awesome

[LillJohnsen]

THANK YOU ! <3



[andrewalx]

oh and 1 more question. I know ending with ㅅ will make a t sound. But how about ending with ㅆ? Will it still make a t sound?

[SparkzMxzXZ]

@andrewalx yes. :-)

[andrewalx]

What about you? Do you use 하셧써요 or 하셔써요 for pronunciation?

[van17121]

I like your lessons.

I was thinking to learn another asian language and after watching your video lessons I've just started learning korean language. These are really good n clear.

[Tatstube77]

선생님, I have a question,all those 'what is' (뭐에요) & nationality questions/sentences are in 헤요 style right? Can we use them with 합니다 style as well? For example: 이름 뭐에요? can be changed to 이름 뭐합니다 or not? I'd like to know because everytime I watch korean dramas I hear they use 합니다 style a lot!! So I´d like some examples with that style too!! PLEASE!!!!!!!! & Thank you!! By the way I can't figure out how to type 여 andㅣtogether, it seems like my keyboard doesn't recognize that as a sylable! :(

[ace1998]

저는 필리핀사람 이에요. How nice! ^_^ Thanks teacher.

[criskity]

Marry: Korean (kyeol hon), Japanese (kekkon), Chinese (jie hun)

[b3nedict987]

선생님, I have a question. Why it is prounounce "졀혼" the word "결혼?

감사합니다.. ^_^

[kartushi]

haha your pronounciation part "explanation" with your feedback about yourself and your mum truly cracked me up...I had to stop the video for like 2minutes to concentrate again, hah. I have to say I love your lessons - have a nice day mister :)

[05shineelover]

even if your hand-writing is bad, your still an expert Korean Teacher!!

[MrAlexpun]

can i ask where can i download the software to type korean?

[Tatstube77]

@MrAlexpun If you have windows Vista or windows 7 you don't need to download it, it's already installed, all you need to do is change the settings in the control panel where it says, region time and language, add korean, and then go to the bottom right of your desktop and toggle from english to korean everytime you wanna type in hangul!! If you have windows XP or older then you will need to install a CD or download it!! I hope I was helpful!! :-) Good Luck exploring your keyboard!!

[JanuaryBlack1996]

@MrAlexpun

You shouldnt have to download anything. Computers have settings where you can type in just about any language. Just find out how to change keyboard language for your computer.

[LenaK0101]

@icmuh u did really well!! Jealous :3

[icmuh]

안녕하세요 선생님 , 제 이름은 마르딘입니다,,저는 이라크 사람이에요..그리고 저는 고등학교 삼학년이에요....그리고 저는 슈퍼 주니어 팬이에요...감사합니다.^__^ .파이팅.~

.And please do correct me if i'm wrong...

[mgc3l]

why cant i play this video.. ??

[Never4mind]

Now I'm confused. Are you Korean or not? :D Don't get me wrong, I love your lectures and they've helped me so much~ Just asking. ^___^

[GammaTusks]

@Never4mind I think he mentioned in one of the earlier lessons that he had always had trouble with pronouncing Korean correctly, and that his mother tried to make him pronounce better - this was IN Korea, or something like that, so I think he's Korean ;) (Also, his YouTube channel says that the country is South Korea :) )

Great lessons, btw! :D

[godsson2516]

Your japanese was right! :)i love your videos they are very clear and to the point 감사함니다 선셍님!!!

[catalinaturcanu1]

in the word 녹음 why do you pronounce digeut instead of nieun? (first letter)

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@catalinaturcanu1 It seems that Korean ㄴ sounds like ㄷ and ㅁ sounds like ㅂ to many English speakers especially when they are placed as an initial consonant of initial syllable. I do have a slight idea why but not complete... It could be due to my poor pronunciation but I was trying to say "녹음" not "독음"^__^

[xsweetyxsum]

@catalinaturcanu1 hahaha that's korean language. I LOVE IT

[damanufred]

thank you for doing this so much

[qwerty6241]

안녕하세요! 제 한글 이름은 준걸이고 태국사람입니다. 전 한국어를 정말 좋아하고 혼자 배운 적이있습니다만 저는 한국말을 조금 밖에 모릅니다... 고맙습니다.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@qwerty6241 한국말 아주 잘 하세요!

[oanalupu23]

선생님, actually i think 대 means "great" so 대학교 would be something like great school (university) but i am not sure so..

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@oanalupu23 I think so. The word 대학교, I think, actually has a Chinese origin (大學校]) where 대(大) mean "big" in Korea.

[SparkzMxzXZ]

@BusyAtomdotcom Yes, that is true in Chinese. :) It means university but the direct translation is 'big school'.

[shedevil821]

I've been trying to learn Korean so I started to familiarize the alphabets and practice reading Korean scripts but it's kind of hard.....and then i found your lessons while searching...I am really grateful of your lessons....it's quiet comprehensive and effective...and I love the way you teach....it's entertaining and motivating...thanks...God bless and more power.....^__^

[xoxosally]

How would this look on notebook paper? I'm taking notes, but the way I write the ideograms(words) looks very unporportional to the paper, because I don't know how big or small to write everything! Thanks for teaching, big help! I subscribed!

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@xoxosally Um.. basically each Korean character can be in a square box or a bit elongated (top to bottom) square box. AND typically high school student's note book has many horizontal lines spacing about 8 mm (5/16 inch).

[xoxosally]

Are you Korean yourself? Or another ethnicity? Please tell me, I'm very curious.

[HASHlRAMA]

rolfmao, "but it's 21st century and THIS is happening...."

roflmao i see what you did there. anyways great lessons

[charmiiiingME]

^____^ thanks!

[msjoeyish]

good job ^^



[BusyAtomdotcom]

@msjoeyish 감사합니다^__^

[emmietran]

I find your way of teaching really effective and you have a sense of humor, too. I really enjoy for vids. :)

Thank you so much for the videos.

[iamzachmo]

I've been working with your videos for about a month now and I find them very useful. Thanks for taking the time to do these.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@iamzachmo Thank you for watching! 감사합니다^__^.

[sokata96shisuju]

u did this kind of video did anyone pay u n how much?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@sokata96shisuju I did this kind of video n nobody paid me so $0 at the moment^__^.

[nnlilac]

sonsengnim, you got more lessons now^^ I'm so happy and excited to view everything ~~ I waited for all of these.

You have a God given talent, teaching^^ Please keep up the good work and I want you to know that definitely, you helped people like me with our Korean skills. From my first hangeul to the level of my skills now. My Korean students are so impressed and it helped me a lot in teaching English. Please don't get tired of what you are doing. ^^ Kamsamnida ^_^

[just3boys]

When do i use ha sae yo and when do i use eayo? Pls help.

[tokee1234567]

@just3boys haseyo is a question form. hada is the -"to do" verb.

ae-yo.- just means "is," in the indicative phrase (not exclamation nor question)

[liegjepiet]

Wow that was tooo much for one lesson but I take always notes so it isn't a problem ;)

KAMSA HAMNIDA

[xyleni]

Previously we learned 누가했어요 (who did it) but now it is 녹음하셨t어요. What is the difference between 했어요 and 하셨어요? Can we say 녹음했어요 instead of 녹음하셨t어요?

[tokee1234567]

@xyleni the ㅆ ending consonant usually implies a past tense. 하셨어요 means "did," but in a very polite format and you would use that if you were to refer to an elder doing the action. it also emphasizes the situation and the action and also the person doing the action. 녹음하셨어요 (HE RECORDED).

you can say 누가했어요 (the person did it. in question format = who did it?) but it doesn't really emphasize anything. it's a normal action.

[xyleni]

@tokee1234567 thanks, now I get it.



[whiteInc14]

with anything that ends in ham-ni-da or ee-eh-oh, could those be changed to either form?

for example: could : mian-hamnida, gwaenchansseu-mnida, and sarang-imnida  be changed to : mian-hae, gwaenchansseu-hae and sarang-hae ?

[xyleni]

@whiteInc14 yes. mian hamnida = mian haeyo or mian hae even just mian (very casual). gwaenchan seumnida = gwanchan haeyo and sarang haeyo or sarang hae.

[xyleni]

@whiteInc14 Oops, I mean sarang hamnida = sarang haeyo or sarang hae. 미안합니다!

[whiteInc14]

@xyleni thank you so much! this was a lot of help! gamsamnida!

[xyleni]

@whiteInc14 you're welcome or in Korean you say Jan man nayo.

[tokee1234567]

@xyleni that's not right. it's cheon-man-hae-yo but in Korea there is no actual You're welcome. they just made it up to translate from English but no one in Korea uses it. they just say "gwen-chan-ah-yo - it's okay"

[xyleni]

@tokee1234567 Many thanks for the explanation. Sometimes can be confusing learning from different uploaders here. Everybody teaches different things, different formats. It's hard for a non-native speaker to know. Hope we don't goofed up and say something offensive LOL!

[tokee1234567]

@whiteInc14 yes. they're interchangeable like that

[kraptv]

I thought that "예" means yes in Korean

[tokee1234567]

@kraptv yes... but just by itself

[whiteInc14]

@kraptv okay thanks so much for all the help i really appreciate it

[Archiecute143]

can I say this >> Joneun daehaggyo haksaeng imnida??

[TheSokawaii]

hi, i can say annyong haseyo to a schoolmate, or this is a formal expression ? :D

[tokee1234567]

@TheSokawaii you have to say that if the schoolmate is older than you even by a year. then as you get to know them you can say Annyoung or they'll tell you to do that

[TheLilaHead]

At 38:41 you arent say mwoayo but you're saying bwoayo...

Isn't that a 'm' so why do you pronounce it like it's a b? O_O

[tokee1234567]

@TheLilaHead he's not. pronunciation is tricky and ppl can't differentiate it easily

[myrnamiraj]

you are cute hahaha...

[bokosippo]

선생님,would this be correct?: 안녕하세요~~! 제 이름은 한지연입니다! 그리고 열두살이예요

kkkk

정말 고맙습니다! :)

[tokee1234567]

@bokosippo 살이에요 (not 예)

that's the only correction.

are you Korean?

[bokosippo]

@tokee1234567 oh right! my bad;;;

anyway thank you~~! oh...

no....I am....Mexican and American :)

[tokee1234567]

@bokosippo lol I always ask people if they're 2nd generation Korean or something if they're pretty good at writing Korean. :)

[bokosippo]

@tokee1234567 oh...kkk uhmmm can I ask you something?

[tokee1234567]

@bokosippo um yes

[bokosippo]

@tokee1234567 oh......so sorry about that....my sister put that.........;;;

[Edis]

Thanks for the videos!

[xfallingstar93]

@BusyAtomdotcom - This is really great tutorials! I am learning a lot from it. 감사함니다!

But to point out something, when you say N1 as a noun to put before the 'please do' or 'are you doing', do you mean a VERB? Because 'recording' is a verb (doing word) not a noun, so I'm a little confused.

[tokee1234567]

@xfallingstar93 it should actually be a verb... sometimes in Korea nouns can also be used as verbs at the same time with the 하세요 attached because 하다 is the verb "do." noun + 하다 (do)= verb. (like how in english you attach noun + ing like Color+ing and it becomes a verb) but in this case yes it would most likely make sense as a verb

[pyrofriendflame000]

저는 미곡인 이에요.

So to say "I am American student" would it be "저는 미국인 학생 이에요."?

Thanks so much for all the lessons ^^v.

[tokee1234567]

@pyrofriendflame000

it should be 미국인 , not 미곡인

correct way to say I'm an American Student = 저는 미국 학생이에요

you don't have to say 인 because (인 = sino- korean for "person")

학생 - student, which is a type of person

[pyrofriendflame000]

@tokee1234567 Ok, thank you. I tend to make a lot of mistakes when I'm typing in Korean because I'm used to typing in English really fast.

저는 미국 학생 이에요. Thanks for helping me out :].

[pyrofriendflame000]

저는 미국 이에요.

Yay I'm learning ^^!!

갑사합니다!!

[tokee1234567]

@pyrofriendflame000 um that means "I am America." you should say 미국인 - (인 = person)

then you would be saying "I'm American"

[pyrofriendflame000]

@tokee1234567 Arg I just noticed that >< oops...

[manucouldntbeme]

this guy's a good teacher :D

[vishakha2420667]

There is actually an idiot who DISLIKES this. =_="

FOOL!!!!

anyways....thank you sensei (Japanese lol) very much!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

[sunnyle2008]

" Cute Version" is really fun lolz. . I really like The " versions " part . Thanks

[sunnyle2008]

I have a question for the beginning of this tutorial. We can use (?) to identify a question sentence ( ! - for requested sentence). How do we do that for pronounciation ? We can't use the marks for talking, so how could we know whether question or command. 

[yang603]

I really enjoy your tutorial. The explanation is in detail and you are quite humours as well. I feel confused when I write sentences, when and whether should I leave a space or not between words? Could you please help? Thank you.

[tokee1234567]

@yang603 that's called the matchumbub (spacing and spelling rules for Korean) and it's really hard for even some Koreans to master. usually it's like English, each word is in its own group and is spaced apart, but there are other complicated rules. It makes more sense when you start actually memorizing Korean vocabulary and reading Korean sentences

[yang603]

@tokee1234567 Thank you very much. I am just a beginner, so feel a bit confused about it.

[KP0PABLE]

Seonsaengnim! I have been taking notes since I started your lessons ^^

[InwooTube]

@anrina you would probably say 저는 중미사람 입니다. 이에요 is an awkward term.

[tokee1234567]

@InwooTube 이에요 is not an awkward term. usually you would actually say 이에요 if you were a Korean and you were talking to another Korean person. 입니다 is used less often in conversation because it's way too formal

[anrina]

How do you combine nationalities and/or ethnicity. For example, how do you say, "I'm Chinese-American"? Can you say "저는 중국 미국 사람이에요" ? Or is there some sort of clarifying verbage (e.g., American-born Chinese)?

[hensempig]

I have finished with chapter 1 until this 004..may i know when is the next video coming out? or which video should i proceed next? thank you.

[katalinaandpetruchio]

wow! great!

[safiraandrista]

@tokee1234567 could you teach me korean too? please please pleaseee?

[tokee1234567]

@safiraandrista you can send me a youtube message and I can teach you that way

[safiraandrista]

@tokee1234567 but how to write hangul with keyboard?

[lulumagic]

@safiraandrista if you still haven't figured it out, it's quite simple. if you have windows, go into control panel -> Regional and Language Options (search if u have trouble finding it) -> Keyboards and languages tab -> Select the "Add" button -> find and select korean language. On the task bar at the bottom of your screen, there should be an icon u can click to go between keyboards.

[jaraiz7]

"아녕하세요" or "안너하네요" ??? 

[tokee1234567]

@jaraiz7 안녕하세요

[D4L3TT3RDU1313LEU]

- 안녕하세요! Regarding sentence structure, it should be Subject, Object and Verb, right? So if I want to ask somebody, "Please record my song", would it be

"내노래노금하세요." or "녹음내노래하세요." ? Thanks!

[tokee1234567]

@D4L3TT3RDU1313LEU

um 제 노래를 녹음해주세요.

you need to know that in Korean there are particles for the subject and the object.

를 is an subject marker/particle in the sentence

[Vjrhuel4]

annyeong haseyo, i want to learn korean, in hangul what is k and g ?

[tokee1234567]

@Vjrhuel4 ㄱ is G and ㅋ is K. ㄱ can sound like "K" depending on if it is at the beginning of the word or at the end (but it's not fully K, it just sounds like one b/c it's aspirated) ㅋ will always sound like K and not any other sound.

[Vjrhuel4]

@tokee1234567 kamsahamnida =) will you teach me about other phrases? ahmm hanguk saram i e yo?

[Vjrhuel4]

@tokee1234567 can i have your emal? (fb or yahoo) =)

[tokee1234567]

@Vjrhuel4 yes I'm Korean. I'll send you my email by messaging you on youtube

[Elina88x]

Wow i've never learned so much in just 1 hour :D best Seonsaengnim on youtube ^_~ kamsahamnida~

[sarahgracearceta]

화 what's this character and how is it pronounced properly? thanks

[mellhy610]

@sarahgracearceta it's pronounced as "hwa" .. ㅎ= h and ㅘ = wa.

[D4L3TT3RDU1313LEU]

- Do you think it would be a good idea to use Korean song lyrics to teach Korean? Haha; just a suggestion ^^ Thanks for the lessons! They're a great help!

[campcawaii16]

thank you so much for the amazing videos!!!!

their the most helpful korean learning videos i've ever come across! :))

( and you always make me laugh sometimes during your lessons :P )

i'm 14 years old and studying to go over to korea once i graduate, i want to teach english there ^^

[2pmhottime]

OH! I WAS SHOCKED, TEACHER! PHILIPPINES CAME THIRD IN THE ORDER AFTER KOREA AND AMERICA. YEY! :)

"Jeo neun Pilipineseo on haksaengieyo. ♥"

Cheongmal, Kamsahamnida Seonsaengnim. I am able to say these right now because of your helpful videos. :)

[MaiKawai]

I LAUGHED SO MUCH WHEN YOU TRIED TO DO THE CUTE ANNYEONGHASAEYO!!! HAHAHAHAAA you sounded like Sungmin HAHAHHAA

[HarajukuBunni18]

안녕하세요~

저는 미국 사람 이에요.

Yayy this fun learning. ^_^

감사합니다 so much.

[siaozharbor1]

What is the meaning of "N1"?

[tokee1234567]

@siaozharbor1 I'm thinking it means NOUN #1 or SUBJECT #1 of the sentence

[siaozharbor1]

@tokee1234567 Oh.. ok thanks :D

[bokosippo]

I would like to know if this is right~:

안녕! 나는 사라라고해. 그리고 난 열한 살이야~

and 사랑해 그리고 보고싶어!!

감사합니다!!!!

P.S.이거 한국어로 뭐라고 해요? I am a Christian~:D

[tokee1234567]

@bokosippo wow for such a young age you are really good at korean. eveything you have written so far is right i'm a christian 전 기독교인이에요



[bokosippo]

@tokee1234567 Thank you so much~ :) your lessons are very helpful I hope you make more~~~

[bokosippo]

I would like to know if this is right~:

안녕! 나는 사라라고해. 그리고 난 열한 살이야~

and 사랑해 그리고 보고싶어!!

감사합니다!!!!

P.S.이거 한국어로 뭐라고 해요? I am a Christian~;)

[bokosippo]

사랑해 그리고 보고싶어! (I wiil never say this...)

고맙습니다!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. How do you say I am a Christian :)

[luvmycatz1]

Hi teacher, sometimes when you say "what" in Korean, I hear a b sound and not m. Sometimes I also hear people say "doe" instead of "noe" for you. Is this just people`s individual accents? Thanks for any clarification!

[tokee1234567]

@luvmycatz1 it's "nuh," and should not have any d sound. (since korean consonants are softly spoken it's easy to mix up the sounds)

same with "what" in korean. you need to listen to spoken korean more to get used to the sounds

[RIPCuddles]

How would you say New Zealand in Korean?

[tokee1234567]

@RIPCuddles 뉴질랜드 new-jeel-len-deu

[SxMayKill]

Finally, 40 minute mark! michigetda.. @_@; haha =] im enjoying this.
