[@LanaABA]

Thank you for posting Intermediate words as well 😍 I was quite shocked I already know most of them. However, rarely use many of the words, which means I need to practice them more in speech. I am curious about how you’ve picked the words for the list.

[@hyungtaecf]

I think they're all basic words, not intermediate... All of these words you will see in TOPIK 1

[@hazelcloud8279]

Don't mind me, I'm just noting down words I would like to revise when I come back 😀 이기다 - to win 지다 - to lose 잡히다 -to be caught 이용하다 - to use, to take advantage of 떠나다 - to leave 표현하다 - to express 결정하다 - to decide 움직이다 - to move 정리하다 - to organize , to clean, to tidy up 빌리다 - to borrow 빌려주다 - to lend 비교하다 - to compare

Very detailed! Love love this! May I suggest that for these lessons, y'all should summarize the sample sentences at the end of the video? Thank you very much!

[@cspel002]

This video is well put together for learning. The word is said 5 times in Korean, translated in English, its written so I can read, and there is a an example sentence! Love it. I will listen to this several times through the next few weeks.

[@zerddrez235]

So, if I learn all 30 of them I will improve myself up to intermediate? :D My brain: No, it doesn’t work like this

[@TheDreamerJojo]

Not really. Especially because these words are so basic.

[@alecven]

Very helpful, thanks a lot!

I'm starting in the intermediate level, so maybe I knew half of the verbs. It was really helpful. Thanks, and bring more videos in intermediate level 🙏

1:08 버리다, 1:25 잡다, 6:28 청소하다 appear in Level 1 of the grammar books. 2:59 It's interesting that 돌아오다 contains 오다, which means "to come", making it easy to remember.

[@margscarpone]

I know all of these words yet I still doubt whether I’m actually intermediate or not based on my inability to confidently have conversations haha. Gotta step my 자신감 up.

[@Mort7an]

Exactly what I thought. Glad I'm not the only one. :)

[@tinymoa14]

Just a note for beginners. 가져오다 is used to bring things and not people. If you want to bring (pick up a person) we use another verb

[@talktomeinkorean]

Yes, in that case you need to use 데려오다, for people.

[@emmagartner5942]

Ugh I feel like I'll never learn korean 😥 I've been studying for 6 years but I still can't speak even somewhat comfortably and dont know lots of words. Does anyone have advice on what worked for you?

[@LanaABA]

emma gartner practicing in HelloTalk helped me to break the barrier between knowing words and being able to speak. Also I started learning with TTMIK grammar because it’s easier and more entertaining and then moved to a website howtostudykorean.com. They have amazing grammar lessons which are longer and more tiring but useful because there are LOTS of examples showing ALL the usages of the rules you’re taught and each lesson has a word list that you can learn in Memrise app in advance

[@faith_es]

for remembering new words, I learnt lots through memrise. my method is usually like this: learn 5 new words every single day with the memrise app, and use the review section on it at least once every day. do this consistently for like a year or even 6 months, and trust me, you'll start seeing marked improvements to your korean knowledge :)

[@prajnaprerana1716]

I am also learning Korean and I can read some words and sentences. In my way, first of all you have to learn korean alphabet(vowels and consonants). Then you have to memorize the 9 Korean writing blocks. After that,you have to learn how to make a sentence in Korean.After learning how to make sentences, you have to learn TENSE,PART OF SPEACH,POLITE FROMS,VOCABULARY. After all, Finallly I hope you will able to learn korean.So that's my whole plan for learning Korean😊😎. Obviously you will need a notebook or a diary and some vocabulary,instruction books for all of this.and watch k drama or k pop I hope it will be helpful for u!!❤(sorry for a long reply)

[@prajnaprerana1716]

Please let me know!!🙏🙏

[@pxaywzeal]

1. A Korean teacher (not necessarily native, though this is the best solution). 2. You can also install an application like HiNative so that you can easily get translations or corrections from native speakers. 3. Moreover, Korean being plenty of synonyms and Chinese-derived words, it's best to master the "most common" native-Korean words beforehand, trying to know as many meanings as possible. I mean the verbs like 이다, 있다, 없다, 하다, 되다, 주다, 가다, 오다, 넣다, 쓰다... Practice of these basic words will make you learn to think in Korean faster than knowing more words with less practice. Also learn the 은데/는데 verb ending, as this is really helpful when building sentences. 4. Learn some basic Hanja. This really helps for the basic Chinese-derived vocabulary. This is much easier to memorize words when you know where they come from.
