여러분, please don’t skip the intro! :) 🔊If you feel like the audio is too slow or too fast compared to your own pace, feel free to adjust the playback speed in the RU-vid settings to whatever works best for you. ✅ Additional Note & Live Class Heads-up I thought a lot about whether to include the break-down of each sentence into words and grammar phrases. But as I mentioned in the video’s introduction, the goal of this video is to help you focus on absorbing expressions as they are, rather than getting caught up in details. That said, I understand that you might be curious about why certain grammar or words are used in specific sentences, or whether alternative expressions would also be correct. (For example, why "I can’t hear you" is expressed as 안 들려요, instead of 못 들어요, and so on.) I plan to address these kinds of questions during a live class. I will let you know when I come up with a schedule via a community post on my channel. During the live class, I’ll be answering your questions related to the expressions in this video, and I’ll also take time to explain the usages of commonly used grammar and vocabulary in each sentence. If you have any questions while watching the video, feel free to jot them down in advance and bring them to the class. Or, you can also leave your questions in the comments before the class. If there are questions I can address right away, I'll reply to them directly. In the meantime, I recommend listening to this video whenever you have some free time 🎧 화이팅!✨ Edit) We had a live class on August 8th, and you can find it here : ru-vid.comkubsLIzl588 This class focuses on grammar expressions and vocabulary that are frequently used in conversation.

I find these sentences really helpful, especially the ones concerning heads-up for internet issues. I'll definitely use them a lot during my online korean lessons😅
Thank you Miss Vicky!! This video is so helpful. I've been looking for something concerning the natural korean vocab for a while now. what a coincidence!
I notice consonants like ㅂ tend to go from unvoiced (closer to P) when spoken slowly, to voiced (closer to B) when spoken fast, interesting, is that something thats generally the case?
I really like these sentence lessons. I like that you say it three times. Slow… then faster. You have good pronunciation, so I can improve. You also have a nice voice. Keep teaching!
I have been studying continuously for 5 years and have almost nothing to show for it. I have never been so defeated by anything 😢(and I did okay in many other language classes)
Sending encouragement - I sometimes feel the same way. We need to remember how far we've come. At least we know more today than yesterday (even when we can't always remember what we learnt last week). Fighting!🤗
You got this!! I believe in you! Think back to when you started and where you are now, you might be too hard on yourself! You are so dedicated for 5 years! I'm proud of you
I understand your difficulties. Keep going. Kids in school take 12 years to learn their language. I keep reminding myself it takes time. I have thought about giving up… but Korean language is a part of me now. I can only skip a couple days before I miss it!!!
YOU ARE SO SMART . This video is all i was waiting for . All the phrases that I use in my everydaylife and always wondered the korean native version thank you so much keep going
This video is soooo helpful! Thank you ✨✨I've been needing to incorporate more speaking and repetition exercises into my learning so I know I'll be coming back to this one often!
I never once seriously studied korean but as i watched more than 100 kdramas i think it just came naturally to me 😅 this video made some of my pronunciation a lot better too, thank u overall it was quite helpful 😊
This was really useful. I understand dialogues in Kdrams , movies etc but unable to form sentences and speak during language exchanges. These common phrases will help me get into the flow more smoothly. Thank you so much. Wish my laptop keyboard had hangul font for me type all this out in Korean. need to install and use it soon ! Thanks again!
I don't know what I'm missing with korean. :( It's like my brain just doesn't want to register it. The alphabet is smaller, so the words all look so similar. I can memorize phrases but have no idea what most of it translates to. I've been cramming vocabulary to understand but there are so many rules that change words and modify them. I LOVE the korean language so much and want to learn with all my heart. I just don't know why it's not picking up for me. 😢 I want to read it faster but it ties my tongue up. Lol 😅 I just have to keep trying. Idk...
Thank you for sharing your struggles in the comments! From what you wrote, it sounds like you might be an absolute beginner or have just finished learning the alphabet. It’s completely normal to find it difficult to recognize patterns early on, even after seeing Korean sentences several times. At this stage, understanding the overall structure of Korean sentences can be really helpful. To get started, I’m linking my grammar lesson playlist here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WCmh1zWUXdE.htmlsi=em33eSX3MlvDYcpW. If the grammar details feel a bit overwhelming, you can start with just the first video, "7 Basics of Korean Grammar" to get a sense of how Korean sentences are generally structured. This will give you a better feel of how Korean sentences work in general. After that, feel free to choose the grammar topics that interest you or that you want to understand better, and just focus on those videos. There's no need to watch the videos in order. It's really whatever works best for you from then on. If you're still finding the alphabet challenging, I recommend my book, All-You-Need Korean for Absolute Beginners. It’s designed to help the alphabet stick more firmly in your memory. You can find it on Amazon, but if you'd first like to check what the book is like, feel free to watch this video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nShFk5-HIZM.htmlsi=Qke1wJOfcq5wfIQX. You can also check my alphabet/pronunciation practice playlist : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-85qJXvyFrIc.htmlsi=yMA2xVqILo76sTde I hope these tips help even just a bit. Learning a new language that's a lot different from your native language can take time to get used to, especially in the beginning. But if you keep going with what works best for you, you'll eventually have those "Aha!" moments where everything starts to click. So please don’t worry too much, just keep going at your own pace! 화이팅 💓
70 basic phrases, give your self 2 weeks. And learn 5 each day by heart, pronouncing & writing indeed! You’ll get it all!! Remember it’s a matter of intensity guys, good luck on ur journey ✨
Thank you! I've been having difficulty with my Korean listening. This was a bit challenging at first when it got fast, but I know this will definitely help me improve 💛
I’m here cracking up because when I try to practice the long ones I always forget the end I’ve been stuck on 37 for at least 3 minutes.😂 Also thank you for not using romanization it makes it so hard for me to commit the actual spelling to memory and learn how to properly pronounce the words/letters
I tried to just comment this but RU-vid broke and I accidentally commented it on a video about a cat game I hope the creator doesn't see 😅 Anyway your channel has been so helpful for me I don't know what I would do without it 😭 Thank you so much for your hard work :)
This is such a good video .. while learning any language, one just have to drill / mimic the sentence. But that would be great if we could have both formal and casual ways of Korean next time please. Thanks.
Please make a video on " expressions used when talking to yourself while studying/doing something." I barely see any video on that and I see characters in kdrama doing that a lot
type Korean plain form on RU-vid. When you're talking to yourself, you use plain forms. I think most sentences would be the same. For example, when you're talking to someone else, you'd say "맛있어요!" but with yourself, you'd say, "맛있다!". Also, when writing in diaries, you'll also use that. Hope this helps, and I'm also still learning Korean :) 공부를 열심히 하세요~ 좋은 하루 보내세요!
효순이 닮았죠?ㅋㅋ It's not a custom T-shirt, though! I just happened to find one that looks a lot like her, so I knew I had to get it haha. And yes, putting them on repeat is a great idea! :)
안녕하세요 빅키 선생님! I'm not sure if you already did this on your other videos but I think it'd be good if you will create a video wherein you will teach us korean vocabularies and try to explain it's usage/s because sometimes a single word can mean a lotta meanings which is quite 답답하다 and I'd appreciate it a lot if you at least think about my suggestion:)) 정말 감사합니다!
와! 감사합니다 선생님 ❤... Super helpful One thing confuses me, in the 문장 - 한 입만 먹어도 돼요, will it be more natural if we say 먹으면 돼요? as we want to ask will it be ok "if" i take a bite? If so, what's different between the two? 🤔🤔
-(으)면 돼요? is literally translated as "Does it work if I~?" and it's typically used to ask for instructions or clarification on what needs to be done. On the other hand, -아/어도 돼요? is used to ask for permission, similar to "Can I~?" or "Is it okay if I~?" in English. When you ask someone if you can have a bite, it's more like asking for permission rather than instructions, so -아/어도 돼요? sounds more natural :)
Can you please help me I’m struggling to learn Korean I don’t understand how things are called in Korean what should I do???, thank you for making these videos for us!!!
Thank you so much🥰 But I have a question Miss Vicky. Please answer it at your own convenience☺️. Is this a pronunciation rule to pronounce as “ㅂ“ when a sentence starts with “ㅁ”. Example - 13:57 It is written “무슨“ but pronounced as “부슨”
It's because when pronouncing ㅁ you put your lips together to make that sound which is also what you do with ㅂ (although ㅁ is much softer than ㅂ). So yeah, since they can both be pronounce by putting your lips together (like what you do when pronouncing letter "B") you will sometimes, if not often, hear ㅂ instead of ㅁ. At this point I don't even know if you will get me but just remember that the way you pronounce hangeul is not the same with how you pronounce English alphabet, you may not get me right now but I'm sure you will eventually as you spend more time studying Korean. 할 수 있어요! 화이팅!
If the sentences in this video feel too difficult or long, it might be a good idea to start with this video first : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jo0WYl_ESSU.htmlsi=tOH04sHs2iB1PeLf It's 50 Korean Questions and Answers for small talk. On a related note, if this is of any help, you can start with simple sentences and words that you already know well. As you become more confident, you can slowly add more difficult words and phrases. Instead of just learning single words, try to learn common phrases or groups of words. This will make it easier to remember them when you speak :)
Thank you for your feedback! In future videos like this one, I'll make sure to include the causal (반말) versions on the screen as well. The easiest way to switch to 반말 is by simply dropping the -요 ending. For example, 오랜만이네요's causal form is 오랜만이네 just by removing the 요. Similarly, 일이 생겨서 가봐야 될 것 같아요's casual form would be 일이 생겨서 가봐야 될 것 같아 by dropping the 요. For some though, it's not always as straightforward as just removing 요. For example, sentences ending in 이다 (like 이에요/예요, (이)세요) require a different conjugation when switching to 반말. In these cases, 이다 changes to (이)야 in casual speech (if the noun ends with a consonant, you’d use 이야, and if it ends with a vowel, you’d use 야). So 무슨 뜻이에요?'s casual form would be 무슨 뜻이야?, 솔직히 좀 별로예요 would become 솔직히 좀 별로야, and 언제쯤 도착 예정이세요? would be 언제쯤 도착 예정이야? and so on.
You can check these two videos for 네요’s usage: ru-vid.com6kVYxc0OdwU?si=cVgCB8Bof5lHV73X and -줄 알았다’s usage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HTCzQlpJGuk.htmlsi=3dmdwH-wQSjzchby I also recommend apps like “HiNative” to get quicker answers to your questions. It’s a free app specifically for asking and answering questions between native speakers and language learners :)
선생님, 감사합니다. 질문 있는 데요. It's on one of the 70 phrases you gave: 잘 못 알아듣겠어요. I see that when 겠 is used in a question, the question is made more polite. How about when 겠 used in a statement? Does it soften the statement or is it used for another reason?
This is a good question, 태민님! I actually wondered if anyone might ask about this during the live session, and you definitely noticed this structure. The verb ending -겠어요 indicates a future tense, similar to "will verb" in English. In the question structure -주시겠어요?, which is used when asking favors, it literally translates to "will you please?" Other than this, -겠어요 is also used to express a strong guess or assumption, similar to "it must be" or "that must have been" in English. In these cases, it can be used with both verbs and adjectives, and it can even be combined with the past tense (e.g., 지수가 피곤하겠어요 Jisoo must be tired, 지수가 피곤했겠어요 She must have been tired). So if you translate 잘 못 알아듣겠어요 literally, it would be "I must not be understanding (what you're saying)." While in English it's not common to say like this when indicating that you're having trouble understanding, 잘 못 알아듣겠어요 is commonly used in Korean to express that you can't understand what someone is saying (whether because they’re speaking in a language you don’t know, speaking too quietly, or speaking unclearly.) You might wonder if you can use the present-tense form 잘 못 알아들어요 instead, but it’s rarely used in this context. (You can say 잘 못 알아들어요 when talking about usual tendencies, though! For example, 할아버지가 하는 말을 잘 못 알아들어요 - I usually don't understand what my grandpa says.) But, saying 잘 못 알아들었어요 (past-tense) is fine, especially if the person has finished speaking. (Since they've finished talking, your not understanding becomes something that happened in the past, so this actually makes sense grammatically.) There are quite many expressions like this that don’t always follow a logical "reason" from a grammatical perspective, so it can be confusing if you try to analyze them too deeply. It’s often best to accept them as common phrases used by native speakers and memorize them as they are :) Nevertheless, this was a really good question, and I wish I'd addressed it during the live class. ^^ 좋은 질문 감사합니다!
@@KoreanwithMissVicky 감사합니다, 선생님. During the live class, I just couldn't get my thoughts straight and type the question quick enough. 🙃😄 Thanks for the explanation! Hope you have a great day.
