How to speak casually in Korean – Master Korean ๋ฐ˜๋ง!

About this course

The Korean language has several politeness and formality levels, but they can be mainly divided into two levels - ์กด๋Œ“๋ง(formal/polite language) and ๋ฐ˜๋ง(casual language). As a learner, you start out by learning the formal version first through courses and books. And as you make more and more Korean friends, you will feel the need to start using casual language in certain situations. ๋ฐ˜๋ง is a lot of fun to use especially with your close friends, but you also need to be careful not to use it incorrectly or with the wrong person.

This 13-part course will teach all the rules of the casual language of Korean and how to turn your formal sentences into natural casual forms. After taking this course, you will be able to not only understand but also start using ๋ฐ˜๋ง!

  5. Sevence,

    This course is really good, and it actually help me a lot to understand some content I watch where people talk casually , but I was wondering if your name ends with “ya” your friends won’t add ์•ผ at the end of it ?
    Like my name is Freya, in this case will people be using the nickname and add ์•ผ or ์•„, or they would still add ์•ผ after a name ending with ์•ผ/ya ?

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thank you for taking this course. You would still be called with ์•ผ added at the end of your name like “Freya์•ผ!”๐Ÿ˜š

  9. Columba,

    does adding ์•„ or ์•ผ on names work for all names even non-korean?

    • Hyunwoo Sun,

      It depends on the person and it’s up to you, really : )

      With non-Korean names, people often just omit -์•„/์•ผ even when they are speaking in Korean ๋ฐ˜๋ง, but some people do add -์•„/์•ผ, like ์ œ์ž„์Šค์•ผ, ํ† ๋งˆ์Šค์•ผ, etc.
