[ZamZamPod] EP.7 What's Up with the Ex-Boyfriend Toast? | 전남친 토스트가 뭐길래? (feat. 지구오락실)

Primero, hablemos del verbo "ir". "Ir" significa "to go" en inglés y es un verbo irregular, así que cambia en sus conjugaciones. Por ejemplo:
- Yo voy al mercado. 🛒
- Tú vas a la playa. 🏖️
- Él/ella va al parque. 🌳

En Ecuador, puedes usar este verbo para describir tus planes. Por ejemplo:
- Voy a visitar el Malecón 2000 en Guayaquil. 🌆
- Vamos a las Islas Galápagos el próximo mes. 🏝️

Ahora, el verbo "hacer", que significa "to do" o "to make". También es irregular:
- Yo hago la tarea. 📚
- Tú haces deporte. 🏃‍♂️
- Nosotros hacemos un pastel. 🎂

En Ecuador, puedes usar "hacer" en muchas situaciones cotidianas. Por ejemplo:
- Hago una excursión al Cotopaxi. 🗻
- Hacemos una fiesta en la Amazonía. 🎉

Otro verbo importante es "tener", que significa "to have". Es irregular y muy útil:
- Yo tengo una idea. 💡
- Tú tienes un libro. 📖
- Ellos tienen una casa. 🏠

En Ecuador, puedes decir:
- Tengo un viaje a Quito. ✈️
- Tienes que probar el ceviche. 🥘

Por último, el verbo "ser", que significa "to be". Es esencial y también irregular:
- Yo soy de Ecuador. 🇪🇨
- Tú eres estudiante. 🎓
- Nosotros somos amigos. 🤝

En Ecuador, puedes usar "ser" para describir lugares y personas:
- Soy de Cuenca. 🏞️
- Eres muy amable. 😊

No tengas miedo de hablar español

Verbos difíciles e irregulares 

Today's content is brief, but there is a phrase in "Minna no Nihongo" that means "Nice to meet you," which is "どうぞよろしく" . However, I think it's not used very often. In the last 20 years, I've only heard this phrase from Japanese learners. A more natural way to say it is "よろしくおねがいします" , and a more polite version would be "どうぞ、よろしく おねがいします" .

As for my "Minna no Nihongo" lesson course, I recently created a lot of audio homework. I recommend it for those who want to start studying Japanese. Please give it a try.

Alright, everyone, keep up the good work with your Japanese. See you again!

Are you preparing TOPIK test?
As you know well, you should practice [reading], [listening] and [writing] to prepare for the TOPIK II.
So I'd like to introduce in particular how I can get help or any way to prepare for [writing] of TOPIK II.

You have to prepare a total of 4 TOPIK II questions.

The quesions are as follows.
Number 51 is writing Practical sentences.
Number 52 is writing Descriptive sentences.
Number 53 is writing a P Describing Data.
Number 54 is writing on a Given topic.
You should prepare and practice these questions types.

The first type of question I will introduce is number 51.
No. 51 contains writing contents such as invitations, notices, and text messages.
You should write a sentence into the ( blank ) in the given writing composed of 4 to 8 sentences.
It is recommended to use words and grammar above the intermediate level.
Considering the time, number 51 should be completed in 5 minutes.

Let's take a look at some strategies for writing answers faster and more accurately now.
The process for No. 51 is as follows.
Strategy 1. Skimming
Skim through the question to the end to find the purpose of the writing.

Strategy 2. Remembering the Formality of Writing
Check the sentence final endings and usage of the casual/formal speech.

Strategy 3. Guessing
Understand the context from the preceding and followig sentences and guess what to write for the answer.

Strategy 4. Correcting Errors
Finally, check it there are any mistakes such as spelling errors or the wrong usage of postpositions and modify them.

You should also check your frequently used grammar and expressions.

(2) V-기 바랍니다.

2. plan
(1) V-(으)려고 합니다.
