안녕하세요 여러분! 오랜만이에요!! Hello everyone! It's been a while. I've been experimenting with different methods on learning Korean recently and one of the things that have helped me the most is having conversations with natives on HelloTalk and Instagram. I highly recommend meeting people around your age to start a conversation. You can pick up a bunch of cool slangs (줄임말 - abbreviated words and 속어 - slang) ! Here's just a few for you guys to use and enjoy! Note: There is some profanity ^^;

Thanks for reading! Until next time! 다음에봐요!!

안녕하세요 Dreamling 들! Hello Dreamlings! An action verb is anything someone or something does. For example, to eat, to see, and to drink.  In this lesson you’ll learn about what a verb is – specifically action verbs –  and how to use them.

일어나다 to wake up

샤워하다 to shower

양치하다 to brush teeth

화장하다 to put on makeup

가다 to go

일하다 to work

공부하다 to study

놀다 to play

쇼핑하다 to shop

운동하다 to exercise

요리하다 to cook

마시다 to drink

먹다 to eat

보다 to see

자다 to sleep

청소하다 to clean

생각하다 to think

걱정하다 to worry

Now, we can form simple sentences. Remember that Korean sentences follow the structure SUBJECT, OBJECT, VERB. Here’s an example: “저는 케이크를 먹어요.” I eat cake. 

Sometimes, a noun can be separated from the verb and be used by itself. For example, 공부 from 공부하다 can just mean study while 걱정 from 걱정하다 can just mean worry/worries. This way, you can say “you have many worries” instead of “you are worrying”. Therefore,  걱정하다 can also be written as  걱정를 하다 as  걱정  is a noun itself.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson! See you in the next one! 다음에 또 봐요!

😊Feelings & Emotions in Korean😢

안녕하세요! Hello~ Welcome to another vocabulary list! During these stressful times, we all have been feeling a bit under the weather and I decided having some Korean words to describe how we’re feeling would be useful I hope this gif and vocabulary list cheers you up! Stay safe, wear your mask, and wash your hands~ ^^

🌸Hello Dreamlings!! It’s been way too long since my last lesson, right? I’m so sorry. We’re back with a new lesson!🌸

Just like in English, we can shorten words like dis. Or dat. In Korean, we can do that as well! The only difference is that some of these abbreviated words are actually used while speaking! Let’s take a look at some examples below! 

난 (나는) = I (informal)

전 (저는) = I (formal)

날 ( 나를 ) = I (informal)

널 (너를) = You (informal)

암튼 (아무튼)  = anyway 

담 (다음) = next*

샘 (선생님) = teacher

넘 ( 너무 ) = very

낼 ( 내일) = tomorrow

-죠 (-지요) =  ___,right?**

그치/ 그쵸 ( 그렇지/ 그렇 죠) = similar to  -죠, right?

여친 (여자친구) = girlfriend

남친 (남자친구) = boyfriend

걸 (거를) = this/that/something***

건 (거는) = this/that/something****

템 (아이템) = (makeup) item    

*As in next time

**asking for confirmation, agreement. 여친이 너무 예뻐요 = My girlfriend is pretty. 여친이 너무 예쁘죠? = My girlfriend is pretty, right?

*** Example sentence: 저는 맛있는 걸 먹고 싶어요 = I want to eat something delicious

****Example sentence:  이건 얼마예요? = How much is this?
