Nina Whittaker, July 15, 2020

I’ll be off to Korea for 12 months in about a year’s time so I’m trying to get my Korean up to scratch before then, haha. Is anyone else seeking to become an au pair/live-in English tutor?

  If you did your best in level 1 then you can also do better in level 2 as level 2 is mostly based on whatever you leraned on level 1 . And dont forget to take notes of whatever you are learning.

Sharmistha Jatua, July 13, 2020

Ummm so I am doing level 2… I have made some sample sentences.. 1. 나는 나쁜 가수예요 그래서 노래 안 해요
2. 나는 방을 정수예요 그래서 나중에 만날 거예요.
3. 나는 선생이에요 그레서 가르치예요.

@TTMIK… can you check these please???
- TalkToMeInKorean Staff, October 21, 2020
  
  Thank you for learning Korean with us 🙂
  Your example sentences are still good, but the following would sound more natural.
  1. 저는 노래를 잘 못해요. 그래서 노래(를) 잘 안해요.
  2. 저는 방을 청소하고 있어요/청소하는 중이에요. 그래서 (그 사람을/친구를) 나중에 만날 거에요.
  3. 저는 선생님이에요/교사에요. 그래서 학생들을 가르치고 있어요.
  For your information, rather than 나는, you should say 저는 when you have conversations with those who are older than you or need to be polite.
- lala lilulu, August 27, 2020
  
  For no 1, its gramatically good. But perhaps people often use “노래를 못해요” to indicate both you can’t sing or you’re a bad singer. “노래 안 해요” make the circumstance that you don’t sing, rather than you can’t sing or terrible at it (either if you want to) cmiiw
  - lala lilulu, August 27, 2020
    
    *even not either
- Sharmistha Jatua, July 13, 2020
  
  *청수
  - Mya Ruff, July 17, 2020
    
    For number 2, if you are talking about cleaning the noun form is 청소. So to make that into a verb, you need to add 하다. It’ll become 청소하다. In present tense, its 청소해요. So the correct way to write number two is 나는 방을 청소해요. 그래서 나중에 만날 거예요.
    ‘
  - TalkToMeInKorean Staff, October 21, 2020
    
    Great! 🙂 In addition to Mya’s answer, we would like to make it sound more natural by using a present progressive form. -> 저는 방을 청소하는 중이에요/청소하고 있어요. 그래서 (그 사람을/친구를) 나중에 만날 거에요.

Hello, I just stumbled on the word 한국인 which means Korean (person). Is it the same with hanguk saram? And how will i know which one to use? Thank you
- Shyanne, July 12, 2020
  
  From my understanding 한국인 is more formal (저는 한국인입니다). Also 인 is from Chinese. Anything that’s from Chinese tends to be more formal. 한국 사람 is used more for everyday conversation (저는 한국 사람이에요.)
  - TalkToMeInKorean Staff, October 21, 2020
    
    Perfect answer! 🙂 Thanks!
  - star candy, July 13, 2020
    
    Ohhh okay okay. Thank you so much!

Howard A, July 7, 2020

Hello!
Are there special rules when to use -기 or -는 것 when making action verbs into its noun form?
For instance:
저는 먹지 좋아해요 and 저는 먹는 것 좋아해요 both mean in terms of “I like to eat.”

Is one method generally preferred to the other?
- TalkToMeInKorean Staff, October 21, 2020
  
  Thank you for your question. Between two sentences(저는 먹기 좋아해요 and 저는 먹는 것 좋아해요), the second one is more commonly used in daily lives. 저는 먹는 것을/먹는 거를/먹는 걸 좋아해요 can be used casually.
- Мира Пусти, July 20, 2020
  
  Korean people usually use the first one…
  I never heard them to use the second one, maybe It’s just for writing and formaly speaking..
Malena juarez, July 6, 2020

I just finishlevel 2 lesson 6and i want to know if I heard the quiz sentence right, it took me a while to undertand the last sentence 😅
Here is what I heard: 졸리었어 자고 싶어요, 그런대 내일이 시험이에요.
- Malena juarez, July 6, 2020
  
  Also, I forgot to put the meanig of it, sorry!
  “I’m tired, I want to sleep BUT I have a test tomorrow.”
