Level 3 Lesson 30 / Word builder 2 / 실(室)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Welcome to another 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 “실” [sil] in this lesson.

감사합니다!

    What happened to the player of this lesson?

    • jinseokjin says: June 27, 2011

      Why?? Can’t you play the mp3 file?

    Before clicking this lesson, I said “I bet it’s ‘room’” I was right :D I’m learning “essential Hanja for Korean learners” and already know about 100. It’s really helpful in remembering vocabulary ^^ For example, I used to mix up 도착하다 and 출발하다 but I don’t anymore because I know that 출 is from the Hanja 出. So, I really like these word builder lessons!

    I want to say what Jacqueline mentioned; the audio player is usually under the title. On this lesson, it’s not there. It’s still possible to listen by clicking the MP3 button on the right though.

    I’m listening from the east coast of the US. I am bilingual and also speak Japanese, so I thought it would be fun to learn Korean since I’m already familiar with the sentence structure. I’ve gone on so many language websites but this is the only one that really worked for me, and I’m using it as a supplement to Rosetta Stone. Thanks so much for all the helpful and thorough explanations. ありがとう!

    Hello !

    You asked in this lesson why “toilet” is related to make-up right ? I don’t know for other languages but in French, toilet originaly means both “bathroom” and “to have a wash”. Of course it’s in old french, we don’t use this meaning anymore but in litterature there is this meaning so maybe it’s related :)

    Hope I helped ! Thank you for this lesson ! 너무 재미있어요 !

    Hi!
    I can’t understand the last sentence that Kyeongeun ssi says. I guess this is: “겨울에는 시외있는 것보다 실네 좋아요?
    맟아요?
    고맙습니다!

    • jinseokjin says: November 29, 2011

      She said “겨울에는 실외에 있는 것보다 실내에 있는 게 더 좋아요”.

      It was quite close! :)

    Hello, Thank you for another interesting lesson.
    I didn’t catch the word that Hyunwoo Sun said for Powder room or make-up room (something like “pun-jang” ??)
    Thank you

    • jinseokjin says: February 7, 2012

      I think Hyunwoo said 분장실 [bun-jang-sil].
