Learn Korean Easily

Hello everyone! How's your weekend going? I had an awesome night at a club with my favourite DJ's performance yesterday. Check out Coxy DJ at http://coxydj.podOmatic.com/ Back to the serious business of learning Korean! Sunday posting will be a short dialogue made up of the sentences from the previous week. Eventually, I would like to record it on the video and put it on here. Let's see how it goes. So here it is. English version. A: Hello. Are you Korean? B: Yes, I am Korean. A: My name is Chris. A: My name is Jinsu. Nice to meet you. Korean version. A: 안녕하세요. 한국 사람 입니까? an-yong-ha-se-yo. han-guk sa-ram im-ni-ka? B: 예. 나는 한국 사람 입니다. Yae. na-nun han-guk sa-ram im-ni-da. A: 제 이름은 크리스입니다. Je i-rum-en Chris im-ni-da. A: 제 이름은 진수입니다. 만나서 반갑습니다. Je i-rum-en Jinsu im-ni-da. man-na-seo ban-gab-sum-ni-da. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Bye! :D

Have you had any luck meeting Korean people? :) Now let's learn how to say where you are from. I am Chinese. 나는 중국 사람 입니다. 나는, na-nun, I 중국, jung-guk, China 사람, sar-ram, person 입니다., im-ni-da, am 나는 중국 사람 입니다. na-nun jung-guk sa-ram im-ni-da. A few other country names are: 미국, mi-guk, America 태국, tae-guk, Thailand 베트남, bae-tu-nam, Vietnam If you have noticed that many country names in Korean ends with "국, guk", that is because the origin of the word is from Chinese meaning "country". When that word is written in simplified Chinese it looks like 国. Interesting, huh? :D See you next time!
