    Does watching k-dramas and listening to k-pop help your Korean skills? ( I already do ( BTS STAN) , just asking)

    • sienna,

      yes, watching kdrama and listening to kpop do help you learn korean! listening to kpop can help you pick out fimiliar korean phrases or words, as well as help your pronunciation if you sing along. dramas can help you to find new vocabulary and phrases as well, similar to how RM of BTS used the american show “friends” to help him learn english. you could also try reading korean comics or webtoons!

  24. Tessa Kadens,

    I have a question about the topic marking particles. I’m slowly starting to understand them but I have a question. If I were to say “I have apples.” in Korean, (사과 있어요) and added a topic marking particle after apples(사과는 있어요), would I be implying that I have apples but ONLY apples?

    • Genesis Cunanan,

      IMO, I’d say 사과만 있어요. 🙂
