Welcome to the very first lesson in the Word Builder series. The Word Builder lessons will be a part of the regular lessons. In the Word Builder lessons, we introduce letters and words that work as building blocks of the Korean vocabulary. They are not necessarily all Hanja words based on Chinese characters, but many of them are.
Hope you enjoy this lesson, and we are looking at the word “학” [hak] in this lesson.
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.
Wow, I really enjoyed this lesson. 정말 재밌어요! I like how you teach the root of the word and then how we can build our vocabulary just from knowing that. It is very helpful because I was worried about how I was going to expand my vocabulary. I didn’t want to have to memorize a Korean dictionary! So, this is very helpful and I am looking forward to future word building lessons! ^-^
감사합니다! ^-^
Memorizing from the dictionary is even hard because the Korean language uses alot of words that are different in spoken and written language. The dictionary obviously uses the words more commonly used in the written language
우와 행복해요
almost all the word sound 너무 similar to the same words in vietnamese , so i can easily memorise them ^^
only one word,전학 , it sounds like the word” skip class” or” play truancy ” in vietnamese

이레슨 재미있어요 , 고마워요
I listened this lesson today, when you were talking about 독학, you touched me
thanks for the nice words.
저는 한국어를 독학하고 있는데, 교회에서 수업에도 공부해요. 그런대, 한국어 수업은 조금 쉬워서, TTMIK에서 독학하는 것을 더 좋아해요!
그래서 너무 너무 감사합니다!

Hello,
I’ve been working through your lessons from the beginning, and am finding them really useful and interesting! I can understand a few phrases in Korean dramas now, which is exciting. =D
I just have one suggestion: In future “word builder” lessons based on hanja words, it would be really helpful if you could include all the hanja for the example words in the PDF. Since I know Japanese, it’s easier for me to remember words if I can see the hanja. (Actually, most of the words in this lesson are the same in Japanese!) I see someone listed the hanja for this lesson in a comment, but it would be nice to have them on the PDF if it’s not too much trouble for you. I’m sure I’m not the only one of your listeners who’s familiar with Chinese characters!
Thanks for all your great work. =)

Let me put all words together in a short paragraph.
A 학생 called Lin went to Seoul 대학교 for studying 수학 / 과학 / 어학. In the second 학년, he moved to Busan with his parents, and he had no choice but 전학. He used to 독 학 at home, but since 전학 to the new school, his grade was going down, and he decided to go to 학원 after 방학. After one 학기, the situation was getting better, and he even got the 장학금. As a result, Lin found himself likes to study, and made up his mind to go to graduate school for the purpose of becaming a 학자. However, because of the government regulations, Lin had to do the military service first. Now, Lin just finished his military service, and goes back to his 학교 as a graduate student and also as a 복학생. This 학기, he applies to the exchange student program to 유학 in US. Let us wish Lin a wonderful 유학생 life !!
