Examples used:

학교 - school 학교에 다녀요 - going to school (I think as in being a student, not like doing the walk and road is your runway) 중학교  - middle school 고등학교  - high school 대학교  - university 선생님 - teacher (not just teacher really, but used to call out to various professionals, like doctors and such, pimsleur goes on insisting this word means "you", when referring to someone older than you in respectful way, but where I live, making sure to point out someone is older than you are, is by definition rude, cause, who the hell wants to be old? But I'm not korean, so my point is void) 가르쳐요 - teaching 선생님은 가르쳐요 - teacher teaches (은 [eun] / 는 [neun] is a particle that marks topic of the sentence, teacher. 은 is used after nouns that end in consonant and 는 after nouns ending in vowel, this is mostly of import while writing, as you are not likely to squeeze N in after another consonant, it's too tongue wrenching :P. Usually they translate this particle as "as for" to convey the meaning better, so it would be like "as for the teacher, s/he teaches" but I think of it as support wheels cause it really helps you pick the right particle out when translating sentence from english to korean. Maybe it should be used less as you'd rarely run into that sentence structure in the english text that wasn't written having korean translators in mind, but, since this is basic level korean blog, I'll just throw that in) 국어 - Korean (I was given a hint by undertheleaf, this actually means "national language" so seeing as it is written in korean, it would be korean language. It's korean as koreans would have it in school, so if you used this to say you are learning "a" language, it would suggest you are korean having a korean class, not being american or macedonian or swedish trying to learn korean. I mean, we all had our own language in schools, so, that's what it is.) 영어 - English 수학 - Math 박 선생님 국어를 가르쳐요 - teacher Park teaches korean (language) 박 선생님 수학을 가르쳐요 - teacher Park teaches Math (을 or 를 is an object marking particle. Again, 을 comes after consonant and 를 comes after vowel, although in this case it's easier to squeeze R after other consonants, so when it comes to speaking, watch out) 학생 - student (I guess pimsleur would, if they went that far, tell you that this word means "you" when talking to someone younger than you of school age - seen it used like that in #상어  too, not just in school 2013) 배워요 - learning 학생은 배워요 - student is learning (as for student, s/he's learning) 학생은 국어를 배워요 - student is learning (korean) language 공부 - studies 공부해요 - studying (this is apparently common thing, adding verb 해요 (to do) after the noun, makes entire structure into a verb: doing the studies = studying.) 한국어를 공부해요 - studying korean (this time they actually used 한국어 rather than just 국어, so this time it's foreigner, learning korean, same as me, and if you're reading this, I guess you too)

On a side note, I've noticed google translate treats 요 in very odd way, giving it meaning of question marker, and sometimes of "I" or "you" which it doesn't have. 요 always comes at the end of the sentence and all it does is turn it into polite form. Obviously for machine this would be hard to translate, so it may be a good idea to leave it out when entering phrases into gt.

DISCLAIMER: I don't speak korean, I'm merely learning it my self. I'm posting my progress here in case anyone finds it helpful, so that I could back track my thoughts more easily, and to see what, if any progress I made. Those who watched School 2013 are probably familiar with all these words already, I however learned them elsewhere, aside from 가르쳐 which I registered now for the first time :D

김우빈 차안 셀카 ‘날렵 브이라인 살아있네’

This is a title NewsEN (뉴스엔) chose for this pic.

First part is rather easy, even for someone at loss as me:

차 -/cha/ car

안 - /an/ in

So that's "in the car" and

셀카 - selca or korean-english, self capture, but I doubt there's anyone who doesn't know what that is.

Therefore first part is "selca in the car" or something to that affect.

next bit is where it gets tricky, and I asked handsomecorner for assistance.

날렵- /nalyo/ slick, sharp

브이라인 - V-line, it's not really korean, and if you are like me, you might think it refers to t-shirt neck line. :P

If you are however familiar with korean culture you'll probably know it refers to jaw line, and means it's V-shaped, as in, not square.

살아있네 - /saraine/ literally means "Is alive" but is actually an expression that stands for "awesome", "nice" or "good idea".

Thеn that's something like "awesome V-line bro" :D

/transcriptions I put into slashes are basically how the words sound to me, and are by no means real transcription and may not be how the words would sound to you/ - can't help you with those, you can run them trough GT which will hopefully be able to pronounce them correctly. Or try wiktionary.
