바 vs 것 | Live Class Abridged

This was my most advanced live class to date, but we still got a lot done. I explained how to use the grammar 바, both as a sentence connector and as a noun. There were four different ways to use 바.

Again, this was an Advanced Level lesson, but should still be usable for intermediate learners.

여러분 안녕하세요. 저는 오늘부터 이 북클럽에 새로 참여하게 된 26살 김영희라고 합니다. 저는 초등학교 교사로 일하고 있습니다. 여기는 동료 교사인 김철수 씨 소개로 가입하게 되었습니다. 가장 좋아하는 책은 “곰과 함께 역사를 기억한다”입니다. 역사 소설을 읽는 것을 좋아하지만 다양한 장르의 책을 읽고 싶어서 북클럽을 찾게 되었습니다. 모임에 빠지지 않는 게 저의 목표입니다. 만나서 반갑습니다.

Hello everyone. I’m Kim Yung-hee and I’m 26 years old, and from today I’m participating in this book club as a new member. I’m working as an elementary school teacher. I joined here due to the recommendation of Kim Chul-soo, who’s a fellow teacher. My favorite book is “Remembering History with Bears.” I like reading historical novels, but I’d like to read a variety of genres of books so I found the book club. My goal is to not miss any meetings. Nice to meet you.
