Dates and Days of the Week

How to write it?

The order is:

Year: 년

Month: 월

Day: 일

Day of the week: 요일

예: 2010년 5월 7일 목요일 (2010 May 7th, Thursday)

For dates you will use the Sino-Korean numbers, so if you gotta check that lesson yet, you can do it here

몇 년?: What year?

예:

2010 년 = 이친십 년 이친십 년:    - 이친 (2.000)   - 십 (10)

1998 년 = 천구백구십팔 년 천구백구십팔 년:    -  천 (1.000)   -  구백 (900)   -  구십 (90)   -  팔 (8) 

1864 년 = 천팔백육십사 년   -  천 (1.000)   -  팔백 (800)   -  육십 (60)   -  사 (4)

몇 월?: What month?

January: 1월 / 일월

February: 2월 / 이월

March: 3월 / 삼월

April: 4월 / 사월

May: 5월 / 오월

June: 6월 / 유월 (not 육)

July: 7월 / 칠월

August: 8월 / 팔월

September: 9월 / 구월

October: 10울 / 시월 (not 십)

November: 11월 / 십일월

December: 12월 / 십이월

며칠?: What day?

it’s not 몇 일 as we could guess with the others, but 며칠 all together and combined.

And the days are:

1일 / 일일

2일 / 이일

3일 / 삼일

4일 / 사일

5일 / 오일

6일 / 육일

7일 / 칠일

8일 / 팔일

9일 / 구일

10일 / 십일

11일 / 십일일

12일 / 십이일

13일 / 십삼일

14일 / 십사일

15일 / 십오일

16일 / 십육일 (read it as 심뉴일)

17일 / 십칠일

18일 / 십팔일

19일 / 십구일

20일 / 이십일

21일 / 이십일일

22일 / 이십이일

23일 / 이십삼일

24일 / 이십사일

25일 / 이십오일

26일 / 이십육일 (read it as 이심뉴길)

27일 / 이십칠일

28일 / 이십팔일

29일 / 이십구일

30일 / 삼십일

31일 / 삼십일일

무슨 요일?: What day of the week?

You can either write the whole day, aka 월요일, or just write the first part, aka 월 in your diary or some calendar. Actually you will find it in the short form in most of the agendas or calendars since it’s already know that the days of the week end with 요일 and would be useless to repeat it all the time 

Monday: 월 / 월요일

Tuesday: 화 / 화요일

Wednesday: 수 / 수요일

Thursday: 목 / 목요일

Friday: 금 / 금요일

Saturday: 토 / 토요일

Sunday: 일 / 일요일

In conversation

A. 오늘이 며칠이에요? (what is today’s date?) B. 5월 5일이에요 / 오월 오일이에요 (it’s May 5)

A. 오늘 무슨 요일이에요? (what day of the week is today?) B. 화요일이에요 (it’s Tuesday)

A. 언제 결혼했어요? (when did you get married?) B. 2001년에 결혼했어요 / 이천일 년에 결혼했어요 (we got married in 2001)

Hello! Idk if anyone here noticed but I've been gone for so long lol🐵 I had to take a break from studying and everything tbh because my mental health was at an all time low. I'm feeling a lot better now! I've been focusing on developing healthy habits like walking and running etc and now I'm feeling like I have the motivation to slowly get back to other stuff I like! I'm going to get back to studying Korean and posting my progress and stuff here hopefully as soon as tomorrow💕 I'm going to take it slowly and try to make it as fun as possible for myself to stay motivated! I also will try my best to interact with people here because I'd love to have someone to study with :^]

From Beginner to Intermediate: an intense plan for advancing in language

Introduction

I've studied Spanish at school for 3 years and now I'm at a low B1 level. I can actually understand pretty well while listening or reading but I can't communicate fluently.

This plan will include vocabulary build up, some grammar revision, a lot of listening, reading and writing. And could be used for the most languages, not only Spanish.

Plan

Every day:

Conjugate one verb in present, past and future tenses

Make a list about 10 - 30 words long

Create flashcards with them and start learning them (I use Quizlet for flashcards)

Revise yesterday's set of flashcards

2-3 times a week:

Read an article or a few pages from a book

Write a few sentences about anything in your target language

Listen to one episode of podcast (at least one)

Once a week or every two weeks:

Watch a movie in your target language, preferably animated movie as the language used there is easier. You can watch with subtitles

Grammar exercises

Translate some short text

Once a month:

Write something longer, like an essay or report, on chosen topic

Additionally:

Talk to yourself, to your friends, to your pets

Text with someone

Look at the transcription while listening to the podcast for second time

Repeat what you hear (in podcast or movie)

Check words you don't know from the listening and reading

Read out loud

Listen to music in your target language - you can even learn the text and sing along

Watch YouTube in your target language

Change your phone language to the one you're learning

Think in you target language!!!

***This is very intense plan for self-learners, you don't have to do all of these things in the given time. Adjust it to your own pace. I'll try to stick to this, if I have enough time.***

i forgot i said id post about particles first but a post for those is coming tomorrow!

Hangul sound change rules [받침]

(longer post but i wanted to explain everything properly and give some examples)

[ » 받침 - consonant | » 겹받침 - double consonant ]

In Korean the pronunciation of a consonant depends on where the consonant is in the word/syllable. These are some rules that should be learnt after learning Hangul in order to be able to read and speak properly.

● T stops

ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅎ change to a 'T' sound at the end of a syllable

e: 이것 ( igeot), 늦게 (neutke), 좋다 (jotta)

« the rule does not apply if ㅅ,ㅈ,ㅊ,ㅎ are followed by ㅇ (i.e. 것이 (geoshi), 발아 (pala), 늦어 (neujeo), 꽃이 (kkochi) »

● 's' to 'sh' sound with ㅅ

ㅅ combined with ㅣ, ㅕ, ㅑ, ㅛ, ㅠ results in the 's' sound changing to a 'sh' one

e: 시 (shi), 쇼 (shyo), 셔 (shyeo), 샤 (shya), 슈 (shyu)

ㅅ remains as 's' when with ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅡ, ㅔ, ㅐ, ㅜ, ㅗ

e: 사 (sa), 서 (seo), 스 (seu), 수 (su), 소 (so), 세 (se), 새 (sae)

● ㅅ followed by ㅎ

ㅅ followed by ㅎ sounds like ㅌ

e: 못하다 (reads like 모타다), 못해요 (reads like 모태요)

● 'L' and 'R' sound for ㄹ (리을)

ㄹ at the end of the word sounds like 'L' (정말 → jeongmal)

two ㄹ after eachother sound like 'L' (빨리 → palli)

ㄹ at the end of a syllable somewhere in the word sounds like 'R' (물을 → mureul)

ㄹ at the beginning of the word sounds like 'R' (러시아 → Reoshia)

● ㄹ (리을) and ㄴ (니은) combinations

ㄹ and ㄴ next to each-other results in a double ㄹ (L) sound

e: 설날 (seollal), 신라 (shilla)

● silent 겹받침 (double consonant)

sometimes one of the double consonants is silent

e: 삶 reads like → 삼 (sam); 싫어 reads like → 시러 (shireo)

● 'ch' sound when not expected

ㄷ followed by ㅎ results in a 'ch' sound

e: 끝이 (kkeuchi), 같이 (kachi), 닫히다 (tachida)

● the various sounds for 하다

하다 has a few changes. It tends to blend into the Hangul character before it

this change is common with other words that have ㅎ (i.e. 천천히 → 천처니; 안녕하세요 → 안녕아세요)

The ㅎ in 한글다 is silent : 공부하다 (reads as 공부아다), 말하다 (reads as 마라다)

When 하다 is aft ㄱ or ㅂ they change into their harder sounding counterparts (ㄱ→ㅋ; ㅂ→ㅍ) : 대답하다 (reads as 대다파다), 착하다 (reads as 차카다)

● shifts to a hard sound before and after ㅎ

when ㄱ,ㄷ,ㅂ,ㅈ are before/after ㅎ their sounds shift to their harder sound counterparts ㅋ,ㅌ,ㅍ,ㅊ

after ㅎ : 싫다 → 실타 ; 좋지 → 조치 ; 그렇게 → 그러케

before ㅎ : 축하 → 추카 ; 대답해 → 대다패

● vowel after the consonant

when a syllable ends with a consonant and the next one starts with a vowel (ㅇ+ vowel), in speaking the consonant replaces the ㅇ and joins the vowel

i.e: 섬이 sounds like 서미, 섬에 sounds like 서메

● final consonants p, t, ch, k in a syllable change to b, d, j and g

책 alone would be read as 'chaek' but when followed by a vowel (i.e 책이) it should be read as 'chaegi'

e: 한국에 (hanguk→ hanguge), 낮에 (naj→ nache)

● p, t, k → m, n, ng

if the first syllable ends with 'p', 't' or 'k' and the second syllable begins with 'm' or 'n', they change to m, n, ng

집마다 (jimmada), 못먹고 (monmeokko), 책마다 (chaengmada)

● tp, ts, tk → pp, ss, kk

못봐요 → mo ppwayo , 못사요 → mo ssayo, 못가요 → mo kkayo

● dropping the 'w' sound especially after b, p, m, pp, u, o

점원 (read as jeomeon), 구월 (gueol), 오월 (oeol)

● replacing b, d, j, s, g with their tense counterparts

b → pp, d → tt, j → jj, s - ss, g - kk

i.e: 어젯밤 (sounds like eojetppam), 열둘 (yeolttul)

!! Note that I'm a beginner and I'm writing stuff that I've learnt from different textbooks and videos so mistakes are possible. If you notice something incorrect or a typo, feel free to correct me by messaging me🌞💕!!

Korean slang — 벼락치기

[ddalgiskoreanblog]

Korean slang — 포스가 있다/없다

[ddalgiskoreanblog]

• Sentence structure •

In Korean the order of the elements in a sentence is SOV (Subject - Object - Verb (predicate)) so it's different from the English SVO one.

example: 마크가 사과를 먹어요. - Mark eats an apple.

마크 - Mark + 가 - subject marker particle

사과 - an apple + 를 - object marker particle

먹어요 - eats

Which would literally translate to 'Mark an apple eats."

The common sentence pattern in Korean is:

SUBJECT+TIME+PLACE+OBJECT+ADVERB+VERB

e: 엄마는 어제 식당에서 갈비를 먹었어요. My mother ate galbi at the restaurant yesterday.

but it often differs in daily conversations as the elements of the sentences all have particles which help you understand what which word represents (a subject; an object etc.).

Four basic sentences types:

subject + noun

e: 나는 학생입니다 - I am a student.

subject + verb

e: 주영은 힘차게 달린다 - Juyoung runs vigorously (adverb 'vigorously' (힘차게) goes before the verb)

subject + adjective

e: 산이 아름답다! - The mountain is beautiful!

subject + object + verb

e: 영희는 어제 정원에 꽃을 심었다 - Younghee planted a flower in the garden yesterday. (어제 → yesterday | 정원에 → in the garden | 꽃을 → a flower)

•••

I'm going through my Korean notebook today and I'm revising what I've learnt so far so I'll be making posts for those. The next one will be about particles!

🍓introduction

Hello! My name is Jasmina and I'm 19 y/o. I just properly started my journey of learning Korean after a few failed attempts over the last 5 years lol. I speak Bosnian and English, and my Korean is at the beginner level.

I decided to make this blog in order to easily keep track of my progress, interact more with content that's in Korean; hopefully help others if I'm able to and ideally make some friends! I'll mainly be posting my own content (grammar, vocab, my resources and recommendations) 🌞
