Lesson 1 Trial Session (Learning Korean)
무어 means what
직업 means occupation
지미 means hobby
그리다 means to draw (verb)
그림 means drawing (noun)
미술 means art (subject in school)
미 means something beautiful or beauty
가르치다 means to teach (verb)
I'm not sure what 가르쳐요 means though. Can anyone help? Is that the noun from of teaching?
I learned about pronouncing 에 versus 애 (에 you only open the mouth a little bit and with 애 you open the mouth more).
I learned how to introduce myself in Korean:
제 이름은 애슐리 입니다. This is a formal way to say my name is Ashley.
The informal way to say my name is Ashley is: 제 이름은 애슐리에요. And the very informal way to say it would be: 내 이름은 애슐리야. I learned that it (the sentence before the last one) has the 에요 ending because it (my name) ends with a vowel. If it ended with a consonant, it would have the 이에요 ending.
I learned how to say I am an art teacher: 저는 미술 선생님이에요 or I could say more informally 나는 미술 선생님이야. I also learned to say my hobby is drawing: 제 치미는 그림이에요. In addition, I learned to ask what is your hobby: 치미가 무엇이에요? I had no idea that in the Korean language the verb is at the end of the sentence! How cool! I can also introduce my dad: 제 아버지 이름은 존이에요 or more informally 제 아버지 이름은 전이야.
