그 책을 읽다 보니 재미있더라고요. While reading the book, I learned that it was interesting.
~더라고(요) is used when you talk about something you've learned by your own experience or from someone else or some other things (e.g. books, TV and internet).
Replace 다 of a plain form of verbs/adjectives with 더라고.
하다 → 하더라고 = (learned that someone) was doing
Example sentence:
진수는 음악을 전공 하더라고 = I learned that Jinsu was doing a major in music
가더라고 = (I learned that) was going
오더라고 = (I learned that) was coming
먹더라고 = (I learned that) was eating
마시더라고 = (I learned that) was drinking
살더라고 = (I learned that) was living
만들더라고 = (I learned that) was making
일하더라고 = (I learned that) was working
자더라고 = (I learned that) was sleeping
높더라고 = (I learned that) was high
낮더라고 = (I learned that) was low
크더라고 = (I learned that) was big/large
작더라고 = (I learned that) was small (in size)
빠르더라고 = (I learned that) was fast
느리더라고 = (I learned that) was slow
많더라고 = (I learned that) was many
적더라고 = (I learned that) was small (in quantity)
Attach 요 to 더라고 to make it a polite form.
하더라고요 (Polite spoken form)
가더라고요
많더라고요
크더라고요
Example sentences:
급하게 어디를 가더라고요 = (He was) going somewhere in a hurry
기린은 목이 길더라고요 = (I learned that) a giraffe has a long neck.
큰 배가 항구를 향해 오더라고요 = (I learned/saw that) a big ship was coming towards the port
그렇게 생각하니까 편해지더라고요 = (I learned that) I became (more) relaxed as I think that way

Not very much, but it means anyway you find something out personally and directly. You know that book is interesting, not because somebody told you, but because you have read it.
