Hey ! I have a question about lesson 18: If I want to say “i am good at drawing” should it be :저는 그림을 잘 해요 or
저는 그림을 잘 그려요. Because for me the first one sounds way better. This sentence got me really frustrated.
I can see why you can get frustrated here. As English has matching or pairing words, so does the Korean. We can name this collocation. So as picture goes with verbs like paint/sketch/draw, 그림 goes with 그리다. If you were to say 그림을 잘해요 sounds awkward because it would translate to ‘I do well in draw’. Hope this helps 😉
In lesson 5 quiz. All I heard I understood was “From Monday to Sunday.” Am I right?
월요부터 일요까지 레요 (this was all I heard)
Correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you.
월요일부터 일요일 저녁 까지 일해요 (i work from monday to sunday evening)

The question from lesson 9 was :
한국 친구 몇명 있어요?
My answer is:
한국 친구 없어요.🙁
Here! 🙋🏻♀️
Hi hi just a fellow student here, but I believe the proper written sentence to the given answer should be
N 이/가 없어요
and therefore the answer should be:
한국 친구가 없어요.
Thanks for correcting me. 감사합니다 !
Hi, regarding level 2 lesson 10 I do not quite understand why the correct answer for “경은 씨는 사무실에서 열심히 일하고 있어요. 그런데 현우 씨는 _________” is “일하고 있어요”. There should be something contrasting the first sentence, but the option suggested does not make the contrast?
Could you let us know which part you are talking about? 🙂
Hi, it’s regarding the quiz for the lesson. Question number 7.
Hello, I have a question, why can you write the verb like this: ‘대학생은 책상에서 공부를 하고 있었어’ and also like this :대학생은 책상에서 공부하고 있었어’ with the 하다 verbs (same in another tenses)? And if you use the first form, can you add an object with the particle 를/을, like :’대학생은 책상에서 문법을 공부를 하고 있었어’

yes, ig i can try…
for lesson 22 im still unsure on the difference for 좋아요 and 좋아해요 I understand that 좋아요 is a descriptive verb and cant be used when talking about other people and that when it is put with 가 it states that what is being liked is the subject but I don’t understand why this sentence 뭐가 제일 좋아요? what is your favourite? is fine to use even though it is asking someone else and is that sentence the same as 뭐를 제일 좋아해요? What do you like best? even though in the second sentence the fact that you like ____ is the subject
I know it’s pretty tricky.
When something sounds good and you like it, you say 좋아요. ex) I like him (He is a nice person)
When you like something actively and you are fond of it, you say 좋아해요. ex) I like him (I like him in a romantic way)
Hi. I very much enjoyed the level 2 lessons. I find the style of teaching easy to understand. In the final lesson I understood 90%+ of the written sample. Unfortunately I only understood around 5-10% of the spoken conversation 😔. It’s too fast for me to make out. Any tips on improving my ability to understand spoken Korean other than these lessons and watching Kdrama (which I do a lot of already)? I can’t get to classes, or to Korea, yet.
It’s totally normal. Don’t be too frustrated!
It will go up gradually from 10% to 11% and from 11% to 12%.
same here, i was researching this and it turns out we need to listen to it repeatedly, like maybe some 50 times in order for our brains to start catching all the words, it is a normal process, like when we first started to learn our native language. its called repetitive listening, look it up and it might help, i am doing that with the last dialogue
Thank you for your great advice!
Hi,
In lesson 10, the given example 궁부하고 있어요 usually people say 궁부해요. May I know this form apply to all present progressive. Can I say 일해요 instead of 일하고 있어요, 듣해요 instead of 듣하고 있어요.
궁부 -> 공부
듣해요(X) 들어요(O) 듣고 있어요(O)
You can say 일해요 and 들어요 too!
감사합니다
Hello! The answer for the quiz of level 2, lesson 12 is: 제 생일은 6월 12일이에요. Thank you ttmik team for the amazing classes!
Hello! Here is the answer of the quiz of lesson 10: 저는 어제 잭을 읽고 있었어요. 🙂
안녕하세요 team ttmik!
So i started level 2 today and I noticed something in the first lesson while conjugating verb 하다 in the future tense it was 하+ㄹ거예요 and the “예” became 에 :할거에요.
Can you please tell if it’s right or wrong because I think we should add ㄹ거예요 without changing nothing.
안녕하세요! I need a little clarification about when to use 는 것 as spoken about in level 2 lesson 19. So, roughly ‘나는 수영하는 것을 좋아한다’ is translated to I like to swim instead of I like swimming? Since I’m guessing that 수영하는 것 means ‘to swim’. Same goes with ‘저는 먹는 것을 좋아합니다’ which should roughly translate to ‘I like to eat’, right? I’m a little confused since it’s translated to ‘I like swimming’ or ‘I like eating’
I always thought of 는 것 as like adding ing on the end of a verb in English as 수영하는 것 is the act of swimming, swimming. if you was to say to swim it would just be 수영하다. so 나는 수영하는 것을 좋아한다 is I like swimming. for 저는 먹는 것을 좋아합니다 its also the same as 먹는 것 is the act of eating, eating, the thing you eat, what you eat so again that sentence would translate to I like eating which in English is technically the same as I like to eat or I like to swim. hope this helped.
