it was useful, keep on bringing other lessons please.
it’s long i really need a real dictionary as in the book so ican talk to my classmate in korean… iam the only one talks in korean
Check out http://www.koreandictionary.net/
It’s great for building up your Korean vocabulary. And also it was made by us.
But i still don’t quite understand the language. I thought that people can talk informally or formally in korean? Is this formal or informal? But thanks anyway!
This is the formal.
I recommend reading Lesson 7 for more examples.

okay THANKS!
I recently found your website. I love it! The way that you explain things is so simple and I really like the fact that you translate a lot of the words that may be used everyday. Please keep up your fantastic work. (^_^)
Some of the romanization is correct but you n3eed to check the letters. For example, for some verbs in the past, you put the suffixes: seum-ni-da. That is the honorific use and theres nothing wrong with that. However, the “seum” is supposed to be “seub”. That symbol under the “eu” is not ‘M’ it is ‘B,P’. The ‘M’ is the symbol that looks like a square…
You’re right but I spelled it the way we pronounce it.
We usually don’t pronounce the b in this situation.
I want you show the korean language on mobile too.thank
