All Koreans use those 50 words in daily life. Those words are not book words!! If you are learning Korean and want to improve your Korean language skills, this video seems really helpful!! Also, I love that pink background!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@monicastorbeck2238]

What do you mean with your expression these words are not “book words”? I have found them even in the dictionary ( 엣 센 수 한영사전/Minjung’s Essence Korean-English Dictionary)

[@LearningKoreanBUSANNAMJA]

@@monicastorbeck2238 I said those words are not BOOK WORDS!! It means Koreans actually use them in daily life!! So those words are practicle and different from some Korean words that are just written on a korean learning book and anyone in Korean does not use them!!! I hope I make myself clear!!!

@@monicastorbeck2238 hey. While they ARE in a book, what he means is they are not vocabulary that’s taught to foreigners and is only technically correct despite not being said outside of books.

[@monicastorbeck2238]

@@alexandermorrison7208 Hey. Bless your heart. Thanks for the extra explanation.What you mean is, that these teachers are teaching words that aren't used in books. You mean school books, novels? I've never heard nor read the terminology "book words", that's why I was asking, because it's really confusing. What I like at TTMIK is, they keep it simple and fun.

There's one with 30 essential verbs, by the time I finished writing them down, I understood the basic construction of tenses.

I’ve been learning/in-actively teaching myself Korean since Summer of 20 and I can honestly say I am SO proud of myself. I knew majority of these words and recognized the ones I didn’t know… This definitely helped me realize I know more than I think I do and that makes me more confident to go speak or even listen to Korean without subtitles!!! Thank you!

[@maccamacca7787]

There’s this thing called TEUIDA you learn Korean from it and you learn like one thing per day and then it gives you a video that you can like speak in so it’s just a little conversation. It also has you speaking. I’ve always had the same problem like I wanted to learn Korean but I didn’t want a hobby to be academic but this has been really fun

This was a very good and easy lesson but I would recommend you to learn Hangul before learning words and phrases (basically any vocabulary) so that you can recognise the letters and their sounds and that way you can learn vocabulary very quickly 👍

Listened to this on repeat while sping dishes today, and I realized just listening and paying attention to the spelling helped me differentiate between the vowel sounds which I had been struggling with before.
