의 vs 네 – Two Possessive Markers | Korean FAQ
A common particle is 네 - I'm not talking about "Yes," but the particle 네. This particle is used in a similar way as 의, but has a unique meaning. It's used after nouns to mean that someone or something is a part of a group or organization.
In this video I'll compare it to 의, and show how you can use it in your sentences.

Learn Korean Ep. 124: ~커녕 “Let alone”
Keykat got so many fan letters this past year. It would be rude not to send an autograph in reply, right? But I don't think she has enough time to send that many autographs before the letter carrier comes.
This lesson covers the Advanced Level grammar form (은/는)커녕, along with 기는커녕. This form is used to emphasize that because one thing will probably not happen, something else definitely won’t happen either.

I found a new hat! | Busan’s “Let’s Eat Alley” (먹자골목)
Here's the second part of my adventure in Busan. I met up with "Korean Jream" and "Korean Arah" and we explored the food vendors and stores in Busan. We also played Dalgona (달고나), which is featured in the TV show "Squid Game," and I found a new hat!
The place we visited is called Mukja Golmok (먹자 골목), which means "Let's Eat Alley."

Koreans react to a non-native speaking fluent Korean
I hadn't visited the city of Busan in 13 years, since 2009 when I took a short trip there with my mom. And I hadn't done any exploring in Busan since 2007 when I used to live there. A LOT of things had changed, but one thing was still there as I remember it - the Jagalchi Fish Market (자갈치 시장). It's a giant outdoor fish market where you can actually buy things, talk with the workers, and even have them recommend fish to you. Workers were happily explaining what they were selling, and one even showed the fish directly to me.
I couldn't waste my opportunity of being in Busan again, so I wanted to interview the people in the market and watch how they'd react to me, a non-Korean, speaking in Korean. I was also able to talk with them about living in Busan, and how I used to live there too (not too far from there either).

~지다 "To Become" | Live Class Abridged
The ending ~지다 can be used together with Descriptive Verbs to mean "to get" or "to become" that verb. For example, 춥다 means "to be cold," and 추워지다 means "to become cold" or "to get cold." You can use these new verbs as Action Verbs.
Last Sunday I did a full live classroom all about using this form (as well as compared it to ~게 되다), and you can watch the shortened version in just 8 minutes here.

“To Wash” and “To Clean” in Korean | Korean FAQ
I remember trying to use 씻다 everywhere when I first learned it. But it wasn't until a bit later when I learned about 닦다 and 청소하다, and then 감다, and others. So I wanted to put together a simple guide for anyone wondering about how to say "to wash" or "to clean," to help other people who might have thought the same way as I did when I was a beginner.
This video covers using the verbs 씻다, 닦다, 세수하다, 청소하다, 빨다, 감다, and 헹구다.
