In this lesson you can review a little bit of what you learned in the previous lesson (very important stuff!). And you can also learn how to say “this” in Korean, how to ask “What is this?” and how to answer with “This is ABC.”
“This” = 이거 [i-geo] or 이것 [i-geot]
“What is this?” = 이거 뭐예요? [i-geo mwo-ye-yo?]
Listen to the lesson to learn more about these important words and phrases, and if you have any questions or feedback, as always, make sure you post them in the comment for this lesson. Thank you! 감사합니다. ^_^

thanks soo much, i’m learing alot
do you have any tip’s that wili help all this stick in my head? :0)
Your best friend for learning any language is repetition, repetition, repetition. For me, flash cards work the best along with just writing things out over and over. When you’re listening to the lessons, make sure that you’re repeating the vocabulary out loud so that you get used to making the unfamiliar mouth movements and sounds. One of the great things about this series is that Hyunwoo and Kyeongeun are native speakers, so the proper accent is very easy to pick up. Also, if you haven’t done so, printing out the pdf files and the workbook pages to follow along and take notes on as you listen is a great idea and has been a huge help to me, personally. They also make helpful study guides later on. Hope that helps a bit! :3
Thank you soooooo much for putting this website together!! I really appreciate it XD. Your lessons are awesome and very easy to understand! Thank you!
What is this? – 이거 뭐예요?
This is a present – 이거 선물이에요
This is an apple – 이거 사과예요
This is a watermelon – 이거 수박이에요
This is a hat – 이거 모자예요
Correct! Good job!
hey i’m riku! i’m from finland and i’ve planned that in couple of years i’ll be visiting or even moving to korea! I want to thank you for these lessons. It’s a huge help and a good way to get me started! Keep it up! LOVE YA!
So; “물이에요?” and “이거 물이에요?” can be used to mean “Is this water?” Is it ok to say either one of those?
As there are not pronoun in the sentence “물이에요?”, so it also can mean “is that water?” or “is it water?” in accord to the situation.
Thanks for your comment.
gamsahamnida….you guys are so entertaining and helpful…. I was so happy because i was able to understand your little conversation about the water!! ^^ Gamsahamnida! I really love you guys!
이 거 뭐예요?
이 거 한 드 폰 이 에 요.
you can spell it, 핸 드 폰… because Koreans tend to use Americanised pronunciation, even though 한 is romanised as HAN.
hehe …This guy is not very kind with this girl! Anyway… thank you both for teach me korean for free… I hope someday I’ll be able to reward
someway! ahha hasta muchachos!

Hi, wanted to ask, why water ir sometimes pronounced as “mul” but sometimes like “bur”, realy confusing
P.S. thank u for great lessons
The guy sounds like a native English speaker. Love the voice by the way.. :)
This site is so nice! The conversation about soju and water was so funny! It’s easy to learn when you talk in simple korean and have small conversations in korean. Please keep up the good work!
안녕하세요! Just wanted to say 감사합니다! ^ ^ Without this website, I probably would never have learned Korean and if I did, i would probably have paid lots of money, so 감사합니다 again!! I love your lessons that are so easy to understand!! XD
thank for the lesson.

How about ‘This is a not ABC”?
“How about ‘This is a not ABC”?
I think it is “ABC 아니이에요 “
Well. thanks for whoever that has made this site! My friend recommended this to me and I was so excited because Korean lesson will be this simple! Hyunwoo, please be nice to Kyeong-eun.!
Teacher, I wanna ask something. Ummm…what’s the differences between modifiers and pronouns? Pleeeaseee help. Gamsahapnida!
Anyeong Haseyo!
I have been learning Hangeul/ Korean for about a month now. I am not an expert yet (it might take years before I actually become one :D) but i am having so much fun learning and pronouncing words that I don’t really care how long it takes! LOL
Thanks a lot for the podcasts, I have downloaded them to my mobile device and listens to it whenever i have the time…even when I go jogging!
gamsahamnida!!
