  2. Kittie,

    안녕하세요! I have an answer for lesson9: 저는 한국 친구두명 있어요.
    I also have a question. Do the spaces between phases make different translations? I used Google translation once with different position of the space and it translated in different ways. Thank you for your answer in advance! 감사합니다!

  3. Christine Sotto Cervantes,

    Level 2 is interesting! 재미있어요!!! I’m studying korean language. I’m attending school and finished basic 1 and 2. I’m currently enrolled for a elementary 1 class which is I think on level 2 after basic but because of community quarantine in our area, classes are suspended for the meantime. So Im very thankful for this, I was able to review what I’ve learned in the past lessons and I have some hints on our next topic we are going to discuss when the class resume. 수고하셨습니다! 파이팅!!!!! 😊

  4. Jaden Barnes,

    When introducing myself in lesson 11 I’m having a little trouble translating my name. How do I translate Jaden into Korean?

    • Hyekyong Han,

      제이든 sounds right 🙂

    • ,

      제이덴, i guess. If that’s how you pronounce it. Not sure tho.

    • Jaden Barnes,

      thanks it’s better than what most translations I got

  10. Лами Петрова,

    Hey ! I have a question about lesson 18: If I want to say “i am good at drawing” should it be :저는 그림을 잘 해요 or
    저는 그림을 잘 그려요. Because for me the first one sounds way better. This sentence got me really frustrated.

    • Hyekyong Han,

      I can see why you can get frustrated here. As English has matching or pairing words, so does the Korean. We can name this collocation. So as picture goes with verbs like paint/sketch/draw, 그림 goes with 그리다. If you were to say 그림을 잘해요 sounds awkward because it would translate to ‘I do well in draw’. Hope this helps 😉

  11. Kenzy & Izzy,

    In lesson 5 quiz. All I heard I understood was “From Monday to Sunday.” Am I right?

    월요부터 일요까지 레요 (this was all I heard)
    Correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you.

  14. rutuja badbe,

    The question from lesson 9 was :
    한국 친구 몇명 있어요?
    My answer is:
    한국 친구 없어요.🙁

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Here! 🙋🏻‍♀️

    • Royce Ang,

      Hi hi just a fellow student here, but I believe the proper written sentence to the given answer should be
      N 이/가 없어요
      and therefore the answer should be:
      한국 친구가 없어요.

    • rutuja badbe,

      Thanks for correcting me. 감사합니다 !

  15. Nina Illarionova,

    Hi, regarding level 2 lesson 10 I do not quite understand why the correct answer for “경은 씨는 사무실에서 열심히 일하고 있어요. 그런데 현우 씨는 _________” is “일하고 있어요”. There should be something contrasting the first sentence, but the option suggested does not make the contrast?

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Could you let us know which part you are talking about? 🙂

    • Nina Illarionova,

      Hi, it’s regarding the quiz for the lesson. Question number 7.

  16. Alaa Halim,

    Hello, I have a question, why can you write the verb like this: ‘대학생은 책상에서 공부를 하고 있었어’ and also like this :대학생은 책상에서 공부하고 있었어’ with the 하다 verbs (same in another tenses)? And if you use the first form, can you add an object with the particle 를/을, like :’대학생은 책상에서 문법을 공부를 하고 있었어’

  17. Andrew1161,

    Helooo, my insta is @andrew.nuwin, feel free to add me if u wanna be my study buddy. See ya!!!

      hi

    • ,

      can you help me?

    • Kathy Garcia,

      yes, ig i can try…

  23. Lena,

    for lesson 22 im still unsure on the difference for 좋아요 and 좋아해요 I understand that 좋아요 is a descriptive verb and cant be used when talking about other people and that when it is put with 가 it states that what is being liked is the subject but I don’t understand why this sentence 뭐가 제일 좋아요? what is your favourite? is fine to use even though it is asking someone else and is that sentence the same as 뭐를 제일 좋아해요? What do you like best? even though in the second sentence the fact that you like ____ is the subject

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      I know it’s pretty tricky.
      When something sounds good and you like it, you say 좋아요. ex) I like him (He is a nice person)
      When you like something actively and you are fond of it, you say 좋아해요. ex) I like him (I like him in a romantic way)

  24. Angie,

    Hi. I very much enjoyed the level 2 lessons. I find the style of teaching easy to understand. In the final lesson I understood 90%+ of the written sample. Unfortunately I only understood around 5-10% of the spoken conversation 😔. It’s too fast for me to make out. Any tips on improving my ability to understand spoken Korean other than these lessons and watching Kdrama (which I do a lot of already)? I can’t get to classes, or to Korea, yet.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      It’s totally normal. Don’t be too frustrated!
      It will go up gradually from 10% to 11% and from 11% to 12%.

    • Arturo “Artp72” Pena,

      same here, i was researching this and it turns out we need to listen to it repeatedly, like maybe some 50 times in order for our brains to start catching all the words, it is a normal process, like when we first started to learn our native language. its called repetitive listening, look it up and it might help, i am doing that with the last dialogue

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thank you for your great advice!

  25. Toh Tzyy Chyi,

    Hi,

    In lesson 10, the given example 궁부하고 있어요 usually people say 궁부해요. May I know this form apply to all present progressive. Can I say 일해요 instead of 일하고 있어요, 듣해요 instead of 듣하고 있어요.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      궁부 -> 공부
      듣해요(X) 들어요(O) 듣고 있어요(O)
      You can say 일해요 and 들어요 too!

    • Toh Tzyy Chyi,

      감사합니다
