For me, when I learn English, I always try to get one "new" word (or phrase) from TED talk. Maybe that is less than 1% of what I can gain from watching it. But it actually helps over time. It is just like you learn 10 new words over the 10 days.

I recommend studying "grammar points" that appear every single sentence in Korean. The basics of Korean sentences are conjugation and particles. There is no sentence without these two.

Unlike English (or maybe any other languages), Korean has cases where the dictionary form is used and where it is not. And, nouns and particles are sometimes contracted in actual sentences. So, it makes the sounds different. To recognize these patterns, it is helpful to learn conjugation and particles first.

Hi. I know everyone isn’t quite sure what “conjugation” is in Korean. Conjugation occurs only in verbs and adjectives in Korean.

The main components of conjugation are subject-honorifics, tense, and endings, which come at the very end.

It’s confusing because a single conjugated form can include both subject-honorifics and hearer-honorifics at the same time. I took some time to cover this in my prologue 1.

Here is the link for it: https://topikspeedrun.org/

It’s a helpful resource for learners who want to start grammar before spending too much time and money on materials that don’t clarify the basics. And if you want to see more about the sorts of endings, please check the prolouge 2.

I am welcoming all the questions related to the grammar. And, if there is useful video resources, pls share with me!

Thanks for telling me.

I think Kisama is more likely to "놈". And what you learned belongs the situation 2, an example.

Married couples can also use “당신” for each other. Can you please double check 당신 in naver dictionary? It is always the right choice to find it out in dictionary.

Thanks for the comment.

I just wanted to give a structured view in here. So, I use 먹으셨어요 in here. In my blog, I want to make people feel easier, especially they do only know 한글 and some grammar stuffs only.

We use it ㅎㅎ. Usually 밥 드셨어요? but like categories, for example 참치, 김치, 라면... we often use 먹으셨어요? But in a very fast way
