What do you think is the best way to learn new words and remember them fast? Well, there is not “best” way to do it, as you all know. Everybody has their own methods. But one thing that is certain is that the more relevant the words you learn are to your everyday life, the faster you remember them, and the more often you review and practice, the better you get with vocabulary. So we made this new format.
In this video lesson, Hyojin explains how the five words introduced in the picture below are pronounced.
기둥 [gi-dung] = pillar
팔 [pal] = arm
코 [ko] = nose
수첩 [su-cheop] = planner
잠을 자다 [ja-meul ja-da] = to sleep
After watching the video, be sure to say all the words in the picture out loud and try to use them whenever you can! And have a fantastic day!
Hello! Thank you for the vocabulary! : )
I do have a question – what is the difference between – 잠을 자다 and 자다 ? : )
I think they are the same.
잠 in 잠을 자다 means the ‘sleepy feeling’ and 자다 is a more simple way to express to sleep. We always hear ‘잘 자~’in Korean drama which means Good night.
the first one means to take a nap ! and the other one is to sleep ! [I think...]
It’s the same. 잠 means sleep (noun) while 자다 means to sleep.
In korean, there are some verbs where you can add the ㅁ/음 to make it a “frozen” noun.
another example would be 꿈을 꾸다. which basically means you dreamed a dream.
추다 – to dance 춤-dance. etc etc.

hi TTMIK! thanks for this lesson! it’s great!.. but may i ask a question?.. in the word of “잠을 자다 [ja-meul ja-da]“.. it really confusing me because when i play the video, i always heard “cha-meul cha-da” instead of “ja-meul ja-da”, i heard the letter “CH” instead of letter “J”.. and it the same for “기둥 [gi-dung]“.. the letter “G” became a letter “K” when i play and listen the video, can you explain those ?.. it really confusing me.. thanks in advance
hello everyone
Loove your annunciation, “PAL!”
hello. thank u for sharing this.. i have one question i wonder why 코 is reading KO i read it KU hehehe could please explain it ???
Because you’re confused with pronunciation probably.
어 is like “U” in sun, plug, truck etc… lips wide open like in 으.
오 – lips in a tube
우 – lips in a tube, slightly more closed.
So 우 and 오 can be a bit similar sometimes.
I work in a paper cup manufacturing. and everyday the office gives me a paper where in the schedule (cup sizes to be made on that day) is written. what do you call this paper? ohh how can I explain this.. ^^
Hyunwoo Sun thank you so much. I am teaching in Korea now and before I left I seen a few of your videos on youtube. I am the only one in the pc bang studying korean due to lack of internet in my apartment yet. This site has become very helpful Thank you!
