TTMIK Level 6 Lesson 10 - a podcast by G9Languages

In this series, we focus on how you can use the grammatical rules and expressions that you have learned so far to train yourself to make more Korean sentences more comfortably and more flexibly.

We will start off with THREE key sentences, and practice changing parts of these sentences so that you don’t end up just memorizing the same three sentences. We want you to be able to be as flexible as possible with the Korean sentences you can make.

Key Sentence #1
우리 어차피 늦을 것 같은데, 다음에 갈까요?
[u-ri eo-cha-pi neu-jeul geot ga-teun-de, da-eu-me gal-kka-yo?]
= It looks like we are going to be late anyway. Shall we go next time?

Key Sentence #2
일하는 중이어서 전화 못 받으니까 나중에 전화할게요.
[i-ra-neun jung-i-eo-seo jeon-hwa mot ba-deu-ni-kka na-jung-e jeon-hwa-hal-ge-yo.]
= I’m in the middle of working so I can’t take the call, so I’ll call you later.

Key Sentence #3
여기가 제가 제일 자주 가는 카페들 중 한 곳인데, 같이 가 볼래요?
[yeo-gi-ga je-ga je-il ja-ju ga-neun ka-pe-deul jung han go-sin-de, ga-chi ga bol-lae-yo?]
= This is one of the cafes that I visit most often. Do you want to go there together?
