  1. sleepyhead,

    This is a great platform to study in Korean! I have never been this determined and see progress in learning the language a year back since I learned the alphabet. How the lesson is presented efficiently and progressed every level is amazing with each lesson retained.

    To my felllow learners:

      ne i can

  21. twinkly bangtan,

    On lesson 17, the very last page of the PDF, I am sorta confused on it, can someone please break the past and present verb stems down for that page? I donโ€™t get the (NOT *word*) or the stem you add

    • Evdokia,

      When you first think about it , it’ll be ์ž์•„์š” and ์ž์•˜์–ด์š”. But in this form they aren’t easy to pronounce so they become how I wrote it first. If you have another question you can ask !

    • Evdokia,

      Hello! I’ll try to explain. So, all korean verbs end with the syllabel -๋‹ค (-da) . When you want to use a verb in a sentence you have to drop the -da and put the -์•„์š”/์–ด์š”/์—ฌ์š” for present tense or -์•˜์–ด์š”/์—ˆ์–ด์š”/์˜€์–ด์š” for past tense. If you have the verb ์ž๋‹ค(jada)(=sleep) the present tense would be ์ž์š” and the past tense ์žค์–ด์š”.

      • korean_learner,

        I knew about the ์•„์š”/์–ด์š” and stuff but I never heard of the ์—ฌ์š” ending. When do you use that one?

Either Instagram or anything else (except kakaotalk) Thank you!
