Namhee

For today's lesson we started off by learning the names of the days in Korean. We did not just memorize them, but also dived into the background of where those names come from, in which Namhee explained the Sino-Korean words behind the name of each day. This made the vocabulary much more meaningful and easier to remember. For the rest of the session, we reviewed the helping toshi. The way she explained it made it both fun and insightful.

Today's lesson was about the structure of Korean sentences, which is very different from English, German or even my native language: Indonesian. Namhee also introduced the particle "toshi," which determines the function of words in a sentence. She explained everything clearly, making an entirely new concept easy to understand. I'm excited for the next lesson!

During today's session we worked on conjugating verbs and adjectives in the present, past and future tenses. At first, I found the rules a bit challenging to understand but Namhee was incredibly patient. She took the time to repeat the explanations at a slower pace, which really helped me grasp the concepts. I am happy that I was able to understand everything by the end of the lesson.

Today's lesson with Namhee was both challenging and rewarding. We reviewed the Korean particles for subject, object, place and time, as well as the possessive article. What stood out today was the introduction to the helping particle. It’s definitely more complex than the others, but Namhee guided me through the basics with patience. I’m very much looking forward to diving deeper into the helping particle next week.

I had another engaging lesson with Namhee. Today, I asked her about a word from a K-pop song and she not only explained it but also introduced other question words and how to form both positive and negative answers. We then continued from last week's lesson, diving into exceptions in verb and adjective conjugation. She provided examples that are aligned to my learning goal.

Today we covered two topics: parts of the body and basic verbs. Namhee presented the material using pictures, which made it easier to understand the words. In addition to the lesson, she also gave me some useful tips for traveling to Korea, which I really appreciated. As usual, learning Korean with Namhee is enjoyable.
