The following words are words that are commonly used in a daily conversation. These are helpful and good to know especially to those who are still in a beginner level and to those who are still building up their vocabulary in Korean.
you may have already been in that situation where you’re trying to communicate with a native korean via texts but somehow aren’t able to distinguish some words because they’re written a certain way. well as well as in english or any other languages korean also has its lazy way of using it. we’ll see some words in their correct form and then in their “lazy/text” form.
i’m planning on starting kind of a serie of posts with no specific subjects ; i’ll just be discussing random things i discover or learn such as words, expressions, grammar points etc.. when i feel like i have stuff to share with u and that could be useful!hope you’ll like it!^^
hello everyone! i had some trouble w my kkt account so it removed me from the korean learning chat i created. i created a new one so please join this one instead of the old one ^^ thanks! https://open.kakao.com/o/g2oSB5Y
helloooooo. so in this post i will be explaining you all how to use multiple verbs in the same sentence.
before learning this, make sure you already kinda master how to conjugate verbs in past, present and future tenses and also know how to use basic sentence structure:)
it will look like Verb stem+고+Verb
-고 is added to verbs you want to link together in order to form your sentence
a simple way to say “and” is using the word “그리고” :
Now time to make sentences: for example let’s use the phrase “this person is a doctor”. The first step it to transform it using the korean sentences structure, so it would look like “that person는 doctor is”. And now we can write it like this:
그 사람은 + 의사 + 이다 = 그 사람은 의사야 (informal) / 그 사람은 의사예요 (formal)
Examples: you can copy these and try to form the sentences by yourself or you can make your own using these only as examples/a guide.
this person is a teacher: 이 사람은 선생님 이다 = 이 사람은 선생님이야 / 이 사람은 선생님이예요
this (thing) is a table: 이것은 탁자 이다 = 이것은 탁자야 / 이것은 탁자예요
that (thing) is a bed: 저것은 침대 이다 = 저것은 침대야 / 저것은 침대예요
that person is a man: 그 사람은 남자 이다 = 그 사람은 남자야 / 그 사람은 남자예요
this (thing) is a tree: 이것은 나무 이다 = 이것은 나무야 / 이것은 나무예요
- this is one of my favorites honestly! I really like the game-like style and it worked really well for me. I also loved that you could find a deck of almost every book or course in your tl
I stopped to use it not too long ago cause I couldn’t give too much time into reviewing, so I’d rarely get to the point of encountering the new words, so I’d always end up reviewing the same words and…I have over 6k words to review so it would take a huge amount of time
♡ do I recommend it? Definitely yes, and if you’re better at reviewing cards and don’t let them pile up as I do, then I highly recommend it
2. Anki:
- I know this one is like the master of all flashcard apps and it has a lot of really cool extensions that allow to make the reviewing experience funnier and better… but… I could never really get into it
Don’t get me wrong, I love that I can add my own images and audios to the flashcards, along with examples and anything else I wanted. I just can’t get used to the basic flashcards mechanics of clicking the buttons at the bottom and got bored of it quick. I spent more time making the flashcardsthan actually reviewing them anyway I’m using it to make my Webtoon flashcards with screenshots and audios
♡ do I recommend it? Yes if you love customization and you are a visual learner!! I’m sure you will find more than one or two extensions that will be truly helpful!
3. Quizlet
- This is the one I’ve been using lately. I already used it years ago but didn’t get into it, and now I returned cause basically I was too lazy to make Hiragana and Katakana decks and I found that the official Genki study room had them on Quizlet so I decided to give the app another chance.
Honestly I’ve been loving it and I think I’ve never reviewed so much in my life
I’m a visual learner, but when it comes to flashcards I have realized that the simplest is the best! So I keep it minimalistic
♡ do I recommend it? Absolutely! Great app and easy to use. If you like it super simple, then def grab this one!

I hope this opinion could be helpful in any way, happy learning! ^^
