Billy Go’s Beginner Korean Course | #98: At the Restaurant

Despite being a relatively simple video course (and free), you might be surprised that using only what we've learned so far there's actually a lot of sentences we can make. In this episode we'll learn how to order food at a restaurant, as well as some other useful phrases. Also you'll learn about several of the most important Korean holidays.

There are only 2 more episodes left in this series! Remember that everything goes in order. If you're watching this lesson and wondering how you could make these sentences yourself, start this series from the beginning and you can work your way up to here.

Billy Go’s Beginner Korean Course | #97: Making a Phone Call

In this lesson we'll learn some useful information related to making a phone call in Korean. If you visit Korea for an extended amount of time, you'll probably want to make a phone call somewhere once or twice.

Remember that this course goes in order, so I recommend starting from the first episode - even if you've already learned a few of these lessons already. Everything is designed to let you follow from one lesson to another, without any learning gaps.

법이다 "It's natural" | Live Class Abridged

Sunday I did an Advanced lesson about a few grammar forms.

We learned about 법이다, 기 (or 게) 마련이다, and how they're different. These are both Advanced Level forms in that they can compliment other advanced level sentences, although they're not difficult to conjugate or use.

Obscure Korean Counters | Korean FAQ

This is a video for Advanced Level speakers.

What's the strangest, or most uncommon counter word that you know? Most of these are... well, useless in regular speech. But as a teacher I've come across them used before. Some are actually useful at certain times, despite also being very common.

Do you know any others that I missed? Let me know in the comments here or under the video.

"To seem" ~아/어/etc. 하다 | Live Class Abridged

Most Sundays I offer free live Korean classes on my YouTube channel. Last Sunday's class was about the grammar form 아/어/etc. 하다. This grammar form is used to mean "to seem" or "to feel," and has several important uses when talking about the 3rd person.

어릴 때 vs 어렸을 때 | Korean FAQ

Both 어릴 때 and 어렸을 때 are correct, but have different meanings. In fact, both of these can actually mean "When (I) was young."

However, there are situations where one of these can be used and the other can't.

Let's learn exactly what these phrases mean, as well as a bit more about the word 때 ("time").
