Amazing lesson! So comprehensive and clear! As I mentioned in a comment to another one of your videos, I love how you introduce grammatical terms, instead of just immersion techniques or "this is just how it's said" type of answers. It almost turns language structure into a mathematical equation, which feels exciting and also doable, no matter how difficult the rules may be. Especially the explanation you gave in the beginning about 은/는 putting the focus on what comes after it, as opposed to the actual word it is attached on truly unlocked something in my brain. I was struggling to understand the difference between putting the focus on the topic and putting the focus on the subject, when those two are often the same word. I still made a couple of errors in the exercises, but I feel like it is a matter of practicing and thinking back to your explanations again from time to time until they settle in my head. I really enjoy the slower pace and your calming tone as well! I could feel that you really know in depth and have researched this topic thoroughly before this lesson, and it is much appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing this lesson and I'm looking forward to more!

Thank you for this super helpful video! I had no idea about the complement-marking particle :o

It is actually not necessary to know that term. But I find it useful to know and it makes more sense if you know it 😉.

Thank you I understand everything now and even done some exercices and got them all right but I'm kind of confused on the ''new information'' part of 이/가 and the introduce the topic of 은/는. Some people told me that 은/는 is like a spotlight and it focus on what 은/는 is emphasing on. When you see another 은/는 it's probably for contrast or to change the topic. With that been said so how does the new information act if the 은/는 already introduces a new information?

well done you! To answer your question, most of fairy tales start with "Once upon a time there was a girl. She was ~(blah blah)." In Korean, "옛날에 한 소녀가(New Info) 살았어요. 그 소녀는 (Introducing/ providing info about the subject/old info)~~." 은/는 emphasizes what is followed after 은/는, which is normally a description or an action. Here 가 has focus on 한 소녀 and 은 has focus on blah blah part. Another example! When you introduce yourself, you say "저는 그라젤라(sorry if I am wrong pronouncing your name. I don't know how it should sound .^^;)예요. " Because what you want to say/emphasize is your name.. not "I", even if it is also new info. It depends on the context! I hope my answer clears it up.

@@kimexplainskorean I think I get it know thank you! Just to make sure, if the context were like we're talking about 음식 and then I change the topic to about 개. (and I'm also not comparing in this situation) Will it be I introduce first 음식 with 이/가 then continue with 은/는 because it already been mentioned then I want to talk about 개 so I use 이/가?

I am afraid, it doesn’t work like that all the time. It depends on what you want to say. For example, 내가 가장 좋아하는 한국음식은(providing info) 김치야. 김치는(providing info/old info) 발효음식이야. 내가 가장 좋아하는 한국 드라마는(providing info.. even though the topic has been changed.. 이/가 is not used.) 도깨비야. See my point?
