Can i ask you something? What about the words that doesn't includes "다"? "뭐하닝고야?" Spelling might be wrong and also "요" is formal what about when we have to talk in informal?

You are an amazing teacher, and as someone with ADHD who is a very, very visual learner, the repetitive songs are a godsend. Absolutely love your teaching methods. I wish school were more like this lmao

[@painetcirque5695]

I know that teaching is not for everyone nor for a few either but for the exceptional ones. When that happens then you have this way of persuading people unfamiliar with Korean language that they are intellectually able to learn and in conjunction with a personal will to collect the knowledge and develop the skills at learning the language, then you cannot but succeed. That video is amazingly exceptional. I wonder what mental processes made this teaching method possible. Congratulations! Well, that and the fact that here is the Korean teacher doing it and the mindset of the Korean people at making things possible.
