In this lesson, we are going to learn how to combine two sentences and say “even if” or “even though” using -아도, -어도, or -여도. These verb endings are similar to the conjunction 그래도 in meaning, by using these endings, you can make compound sentences.
Listen in to check out sample sentences as well, and if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us comments! 감사합니다.
You can download 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.

Hi Jose,
Oh.. the sound cloud contains the mp3 of lesson 21! I am sorry for the inconvenience.
We will fix it right away!
Thanks for your comment.
Sorry but this is lesson 21 not Lesson 20. Please reply.
