Children's Books in Korean

I have uploaded my small collection of Korean children’s books in PDF form. Since I am just learning Korean I summarized a few of them based on the pictures, so please excuse some of the titles!  There are 4 types of PDF’s in each folder, full color editions of the book with pictures (title.pdf) or just the text of the book (titletext.pdf). There are also black and white editions for those who want to print them off to write on them for translating. I’ve also included a zip file for those who want all 4 files. 

Categorized based on difficulty** : 

Beginner

Bear Adventure

Counting Monkeys 

Cow carries a rice bag

Kids and the Storm

Wheat Kids

Intermediate

Heidi

The Nutcracker

The Prince and the Pauper

Advanced(ish)

Pelé - (It’s a short biography)

Hope that these books will encourage and help those who are starting to learn Korean! 화이팅!!!!! **…in the realm of children’s books but I could totally be wrong!

Salut! I love your blog and I've learned a lot about French from it! If you have time, do you have any advice or tips on how to write a formal thank you letter in French? For example, greetings, endings, etc. In this case, I would like to thank someone for writing me a recommendation letter. Thank you so much (or merci beaucoup)!

Hello,

Thank you!

When it comes to greetings and endings, the most common thing is to open with Monsieur/Madame (no Cher/Chère, because you don’t know them, and not Monsieur X, because they know their own names), and end with En vous remerciant par avance, je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur/Madame, mes salutations distinguées.

Which is bootlicking at its best, but that’s how we do it.

Hope this helps! x

How to improve pronunciation

Salut! How would you recommend someone to improve their pronunciation in French if they don’t have access to a class/live in the country where French is spoken? I’m trying so hard but I struggle a lot with pronunciation but it’s so so important to me to be able to pronounce words properly and speak well because I love this language so much and it’s very important to me but I’m struggling a lot

You don’t have to live somewhere in particular or go to school to get any kind of skill. Practice and hard work will always be enough. Now :

Study this post about phonetics

Study this post about pronunciation

Listen to audiobooks while reading the written version (see below) 

Watch subtitled stuff (Netflix, TED talks, hacked content, TV5 Monde’s Sept jours sur la planète, Public sénat)

Level 9 / Lesson 4: -았/었던

안녕 여러분! Welcome to this next Level 9 lesson! We’re going to learn about a structure that I got an ask about the other day, and it’s actually kind of a useful structure so I thought I’d make a full lesson on it! 시작해 볼까요?

First, let’s get a formula down:

[verb / adjective stem] + 았/었던 + [noun]  

Attach -았던 to stems whose last vowel isㅏ or ㅗ

Attach -었던 to stems whose last vowel is anything but ㅏ or ㅗ

Okay, let’s talk about its usage now! Essentially, -았/었던 is another way to describe nouns with verbs in the past tense. It’s pretty similar to attaching -ㄴ/은 to a verb stem, but it’s a little different. Let’s see how!

Using -았/었던

Let’s look at two sentences:

지난 주에 본 영화 다시 보고 싶어요. = I want to see the movie that I saw last week again.

지난 주에 봤던 영화 다시 보고 싶어요. = I want to see the movie that I saw last week again.

The first one uses -ㄴ/은 to mean “movie that I saw.” This is just the plain past tense way of describing a noun with an adjective. The second one, on the other hand, uses -았/었던 to do this. This gives the nuance that you already finished the movie and no longer are watching it, hence why you want to watch it again. Perhaps with the first sentence, maybe you fell asleep halfway through the movie and didn’t finish it and thus would like to. But with the second one, -았/었던 implies that you’ve finished the movie already. Hope that makes sense!!

You can also use these for adjectives (there are some examples below) to imply that while something was once [adjective], it no longer is.

Let’s see some more examples!!

제가 했던 숙제를 선생님한테 줬어요. = I gave the homework I did to the teacher.

Implies that you completely finished the homework.

어렸을 때 많이 읽었던 책은 낸시 드류라고 했어요. = The books I read a lot when I was young were called Nancy Drew.

You finished reading the entire Nancy Drew series and no longer do.

기가 작았던 남자아이 갑자기 커졌어요. = The boy that was short suddenly grew.

The boy is no longer short, so you can use -았/었던.

뉴욕시에서 코로나바이러스때문에 바빴던 거리가 이제는 텅 비어요. = Due to the coronavirus, the once-busy streets are now empty in New York City. 

The streets are empty compared to how they once were.

Using Just -던

It is indeed possible to only add -던 to verb stems (not so much adjective stems as this sounds unnatural according to howtostudykorean.com). Let’s see an example to demonstrate the difference between these two methods:

지난 주에 봤던 영화 다시 보고 싶어요. = I want to see the movie that I saw last week again.

어렸을 때 보던 영화 보고 싶어요. = I want to see the movie that I used to watch when I was young. 

I think the distinction between these two is pretty clear – the first one suggests an action that you completed in the past. The second one, just using -던, implies that you used to do something repeatedly. The first one just kind of means that you did it once and got it over with. Here’s another one:

(from koreantopic.com) 아까 보던 신문을 여기에 두었는데 혹시 못 보셨어요? = I put the newspapers I was reading earlier here, did you see it?

Here, -던 has a different usage. It implies that you were doing something in the past but have not yet completed it. In this example, you were reading the paper earlier but didn’t finish it, hence why you’re looking for it now. The action may not have ended in the past unlike with -았/었던. 

To Summarize

Here’s a chart that I hope summarizes this lesson well!

That’s about it for this lesson!! Hope it helped!

[epfks]

hello! I'm just starting out learning korean, and I'm a little confused about how the speech levels work. so I understand there's 존댓말 and 반말 but search results show there are seven speech levels of politeness and formality and it's a little confusing. do you maybe have any links to better understand which to use when, etc? thank u in advance!!

Hello! I do have some clues as to how you can figure out the levels for yourself and I will link the resources that you can check out down below! 

For starters, you’re right; there are seven different levels of politeness / formality in Korean. You’re also right in saying that it is confusing! Generally, with beginners, it’s better to know what’s considered “formal” just by looking at the conjugation. For example, we can assume that something with “-ㅂ/습니다” at the end of the verb is considered formal. This is one of the highest levels of formalities. Or something without any formality marker (ie. lack of -요), we can assume it’s the lowest level of formalities. Below is a list of the formalities, and when to use them:

하소서체 ♡ Most formal speech to show the most respect ♡ Used to address royal family members ♡ Also often used in the Bible / scripture 

합쇼체 ♡ Respectful / polite form of speech ♡ Used for elders, strangers, customers, or in business settings ♡ Used for unbiased attitude

하오체 ♡ Outdated formal speech (usually in historical [사극] Korean dramas) ♡ Same rank or lower

하게체 ♡ Also relatively outdated but not uncommon ♡ Can be used by middle-aged adults to other adults (usually lower socially) ♡ Can be used by higher-ranked ppl on social ladder talking to people lower than them (Ex. CEO talking to a lower-level employee) 

해라체 ♡ Formal speech used for the same level or lower ♡ Even though there’s no added respect, it’s not considered disrespectful if you use it appropriately ♡ It’s not as common as 합쇼체, 해요체, 해체 though it’s still used frequently ♡ Necessary to know this level though as it’s used to quote people ♡ Also known as “plain form”

해요체 ♡ Informal but still polite speech ♡ This is the most common and natural speaking level in Korea ♡ 고마워요 // 안녕하세요 // 아니요 ♡ Regardless of relative rank, this level can be used politely and respectfully

해체 ♡ The most informal / casual speech level

Here are examples of the formalities using the verb “사랑하다” - to love:

Even though 해라체 and 해체 are both considered “반말”, 해라체 is considered more formal (remember, “plain form”)

Next, how to use them is a little bit more difficult. I will link resources with each formality (with examples) so you can check it out for your own convenience as well:

하소서체

합쇼체

하오제

하게체

해라체

해요체

해체

Where I acquired the above resources, is a great website for Korean Language Learners. You can check it out here. 

I really really hope this helped in some way! I know that formalities are really difficult to grasp but once you get it, it becomes easier. Like I said above, it’s really easy to start recognizing which formality is used because of how the conjugation ending looks (you even have a bit of a hint inside the formality’s name itself). Formalities can look and sound different / confusing / difficult, but as long as you get the basics down, it becomes a lot easier with more practice. 

If you’re still confused, please shoot me a message and we can figure it out together! 

Happy Learning :)

Hi there! In this post I will explain when and how you should use French verb tenses. French has a lot of tenses and most of them may seem rather complicated, but once you get the hang of it they start making sense. I’ll try my best to explain everything as clearly as possible but if you have any questions or corrections after reading this post, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

Content:

La base/the basics

Les verbes irréguliers/irregular verbs

Participe présent/the present participle 

Participe passé/the past participle

Indicatif/indicative

Présent/present

Imparfait/past

Futur simple/future simple

Passé composé

Plus-que-parfait

Passé simple

Futur antérieur

Passé antérieur

Subjonctif/subjonctive 

Présent/present

Imparfait

Passé/past

Plus-que-parfait

Conditionnel/conditional 

Présent/present

Passé/past

Impératif présent/imperative present

La base

Regular French verbs are divided into three categories: 

(1) verbs ending on -er (2) verbs ending on -re (3) verbs ending on -ir

The verbs on -ir are further subcategorized into two groups, which follow different conjugation rules. I’ll explain this further when I get to the tenses themselves.

The root of a verb is the infinitive without the ending (so without -er, -re or -ir).
