One of the sample sentences on lesson 5 is “100명쯤 왔어요.”
I’m wondering why it’s pronounced [BAENG-myeong-jjeum wa-sseo-yo] and not [BAEK-myeong-jjeum wa-sseo-yo]. I thought 100 is pronounced as “baek”? Did I miss something?
Yup. ㄱ is a hard sound, so if the following word’s beginning consonants is a soft sound such as ㄴ, ㅁ and ㅇ, the ㄱ sound would become the similar soft sound => ㅇ. Even though it was “baek myung”, people tend to pronounce it as “baeng myung” for more natural flow.
ㄱ, ㅋ=> ㅇ
ㅂ, ㅍ=> ㅁ
ㄷ,ㅈ,ㅅ,ㅌ,ㅊ=> ㄴ
Ah, that makes sense! 고맙습니다!
제가 질문이 있어요 :
왜 새롭다 과거 시제에서 새로워요 왜 새로와요 아니예요??
새롭다 is a ㅂ irregular verb. Therefore, when you want to conjugate it, you have to remove the ㅂ from the verb stem and add ㅜ to it. As a result, the conjugated 새롭다 would be 새로우. In the polite present form, it would become 새로우 + 어 (because the ending vowel is ㅜ) =>새로워요. Hopefully, it makes sense enough. 🙂
Hi, I just listened to the second lesson of the third level about the linking Verb 고.
Here my question: If I want to use the verb 싶다 with a verb before it, how where is the 고?
For example :
읽고싶어요. 그리고 쓰고싶어요.
Is it
읽고 쓰고싶어요.
Or
읽고싶어고 쓰고싶어요.
읽고 쓰고 싶어요. 읽고 싶고 쓰고 싶어요. Both are fine.
고맙습니다
Hi, for lesson 7 why is 모으다 turned into 모아서 when the verb stem ends the way it does? Is it irregular? Thank you in advance for any help.
Yes. You are right. It’s irregular.
모으다. 모으고. 모아서. 모았어요. etc
Thank you!
So I wanted to ask, if someone has tips on how to use korean in my everyday life, even if I can’t talk/text with someone in korean? ^^ thanks
Hellotalk is a really nice app where you get to record your voice and chat with Korean people. I usually write down what I do during the day and people correct me!!! Another thing that I do is talking to myself in Korean. So, instead of saying in English (or your native language) phrases like: oh, I’m gonna study Korean now, I say: 지금 한국어 공부할 거예요.
Hi, there! I was checking the sample dialogue for lesson 7: Linking Verbs With -아/어/여서 when I noticed that the content was not related to the topic. Am I wrong? The dialogue was basically:
A: 한국어보다 중국어가 더 쉬워요?
B: 네, 중국어가 더 쉬워요.
A: 왜요?
B: 영어랑 비슷해서요.
I can’t see the structure here. Is 비슷해서요 part of the 4th usage, the fixed expressions?
It’s the first usage.
영어랑 비슷해서요 = Because it’s similar to English.

오늘은 사무실에 사장님가 안와써요. 우리가 치킨 먹었요. 5시에 집에소 다들가써요
Hi. I just finished level 2 and abt to start with level 3. I tried to write some of the things I did today in korean. But it seems that i’m still terible in constructing sentences. I tried to translate it in google but the trans seems not right. Or maybe google is not reliable. Anyways, TTMIK 선생님, 정말 감사합니다. 수업 너무 재미있어요. 저 한곡어 진짜 하고싶어요. 화이팅 여러분!!!!
오늘은 사무실에 사장님이 안오셨어요(안왔어요). 우리가 치킨 먹었어요. 모두(다들) 5시에 집에 갔어요. Keep working on it 🙂 한국어 공부 화이팅!!
I think lesson 18 밖에 should have been tought at the same time as lesson 15 in level 2 with 만.in order to avoid confusion . If you listen to level 5 lesson 15 you think the only way to say only is 만.
Thank you for your comment, but there were reasons to teach them separately like avoiding confusions for beginners. Hope this helps 🙂
👍👍👍

“이 드라마 몰라는데 재미있네요.” Is this sentence correct?especially ‘몰라는데’
이 다라마 잘 모르는데 재미있네요 <-- sounds more natural to me. When you conjugate with ㄴ/는 데 you have to use the base form of the verb.
이 드라마 몰랐는데 재밌네요
