How this works
다음주부터 열심히 공부합시다!

Someone wrote this to me and gave me the following meaning: Let's study hard next week.

But I don't understand how the structure works within the words. Can anyone explain in more detail? I took a solid week away from language learning and it feels like I forgot so much!!

How this works
다음주부터 열심히 공부합시다!

Someone wrote this to me and gave me the following meaning: Let's study hard next week.

But I don't understand how the structure works within the words. Can anyone explain in more detail?  I took a solid week away from language learning and it feels like I forgot so much!!

Answer

다음 : next
주 : week
부터 : starting from
So 다음주 부터 : starting from next week

열심하다 : to work hard on something / to be diligent
열심히 : adverb of 열심하다 so it means diligently
공부 : study
합시다 : let's do ~
하자 : informal form of 합시다
So 열심히 공부 합시다 let's study diligently
