LESSON #1.5 | Learn Korean w/ J&J! (Homework Review, Patron Questions + BTS Lyrical Analysis!)
Added 2023-02-06 22:00:04 +0000 UTCWe’re back with another episode of “Learn Korean w/ Jared & Jordan!”
Today, Teacher Wonji guides us through a review of the hangul alphabet, answers some fantastic patron questions, and rapidly breaks down a portion of the lyrics from BTS’ song “Danger.” Our apologies for the slight audio/video delay!
Let us know your thoughts on today’s episode and if you like the idea of us doing these “review sessions” in between the learning of new material. We found that it really helped us to become more proficient/comfortable with the material from the first lesson.
LESSON #2 COMING SOON…we’ll be learning how to read combinations of Hangul characters!
NOTE: For the time being, we will NOT be setting a specific frequency for release of videos in this series. This is due to the HIGH editing bandwidth these episodes take. However, we will tentatively plan to release a piece of content (video, post, etc.) every 2 weeks.

2023-02-07 17:04:10 +0000 UTCAlso— re: the danger lyrics (kick, break up, honk-honk): The Verb for “to kick” is 차다. If you take off the verb ending and just read it as “cha”, that’s a homophone for the word “car”. Car is 차/cha without the “da” at the end. So this sequence is basically a pun. The 차/cha in the lyric is the verb to kick, but since it also sounds like the noun for car, that’s how you get the transition to honk-honk after it. Does that make sense?

2023-02-07 13:56:15 +0000 UTCAnother trick for ㅗ/ㅜ difference— if the vertical line is Over, it’s “o”. If it’s Under, it’s “u”.

2023-02-07 13:24:21 +0000 UTCGreat review and much needed revisit of the homework. I have a hard time reading the "w" sounds too, always have to slow down.

2023-02-07 13:20:10 +0000 UTCJordan - yes, you are reading syllables left to right and top to bottom. But you were asking about syllables (when you asked about a group of letters) - each syllable is a BLOCK of letters. You asked how many letters could be in a syllable. I think it's helpful to think about usually a syllable (the block of letters) has 2 or 3 letters. It can be more but basically 2 or 3. A syllable always needs one consonant and one vowel minimum. So Jin, one syllable, one block of three letters: 진 The syllable blocks are not letters, they are made up of letters. Y'all are doing great!!!

2023-02-07 06:22:52 +0000 UTCYou guys' determination is inspiring! I really want to learn Korean someday (thanks to Bangtan), but unfortunately I'm already deep in my Spanish-learning journey, and I don't think I could balance both successfully. 😅 However, I still like watching these to gear myself up for when I eventually start Korean– plus, watching you work on your Korean motivates me to keep going with my Spanish! Let's get fluent, guys ✊

2023-02-07 02:51:40 +0000 UTCThis is really helping me because I have been struggling with ’ 어, 여 & 오, 요“ So ’ 어디 ‘ and ’ 여 뻐 ‘ from the homework had been killinggg meeeee. It’s like I can’t find a way to help myself distinguish these sounds .
