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!

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! :)
