Level 7 Lesson 7 / even if …, there is no use / -아/어/여 봤자 Talk To Me In Korean

Download Available

Through this lesson, you will learn to use the structure 아/어/여 봤자 to say things like “Even if you stay here, it’s a waste of time” and “there’s no use in talking to me.” This structure is actually quite useful and can be used in a couple different ways, so be sure to study this lesson well and practice making your own sentences with this structure by writing some in the comment section below!

You can view a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.

I wanna start translate the lessons into Chinese from the latest lessons to the previous ones, cause I really enjoy the lessons.
But how can I have the original version of the lesson? I mean, can I have the word version instead of the pdf ones? Better to edit in that way.

아이구 어떻게 된거야? 고쳐 봤자 소용 없죠?

죄송하는다고 말해 봤자 인것 같해?
내 아버지가 얼마나 화나는지 알아?

나 가고 싶어 봤자 널 못 버려. 알았지?
