I created MORE Korean language CHEAT SHEETS

Since the last time I made cheat sheets I’ve been hard at work on several more, and I’m ready to share the first two new ones with you – two cheat sheets for conjugating verbs into adjectives. Making adjectives is one of the most common conjugations that you’ll do, right after conjugating the standard ~요 form, and since I previously made a cheat sheet for conjugating the ~요 form I thought it’d be best to also make some for conjugating adjectives. All of these are used on a regular basis, and everything is condensed into a single sheet of paper – one for each verb type. More to come soon!

법하다 Likely | Live Class Abridged

My most recent live stream was about the form 법하다, and I also talked about 법도 하다, and compared it with another form I’ve taught before – 법이다. All of these forms are related by the word 법 meaning “law” or “way,” and it’s simple to tell them apart.

Why San’s Korean is FLAWLESS | ATEEZ Deep Dive (5/8)

We’re up to FIVE out of EIGHT members of ATEEZ, and this time it’s San’s turn for my analysis. I talk about how he speaks, his dialect, his writing, and his personality – at least as much as I can guess from the way that he speaks Korean. Who should I analyze next?

I gave Jeremy $50 to buy anything he wants at the bookstore

My son Jeremy loves books – like most kids his age – and also enjoys reading Korean books. I also enjoy that he reads Korean books, because it means he’ll be able to keep practicing and learning new Korean words. So it’s a win-win. That’s why I took him to a large bookstore in Seoul and gave him some money to pick out his own Korean books. I can’t really say I was surprised by most of what he chose.

~(으)리라(고) “Likely…” | Live Class Abridged

~(으)리라고 or ~(으)리라 is a longer, more archaic version of the modern ending ~을/ㄹ which is used to mean “future tense” – just like ~겠다 is used today – and it’s used to make assumptions or guesses about the future. It’s also a quoting form (indicated by the ~고 at the end), and is used with quoting verbs.
