My name is King Se-jong. I was a kind during the Joseon dynasty and ruled from 1418 to 1450. I devised the Korean script, Hangeul in 1443. I’m delighted that you have not only decided to learn Korean, but you have gotten this far into the lessons. The lessons here in Unit 7 are really going to put your brain to work. 준비하소.
 In these lessons, you will start off by learning about two interesting types of words in Korean – onomatopoeias and mimetic words. Then, you will build on your understanding of ~(으)려고 from previous lessons by connecting other grammatical principles to it like ~(으)니까, ~다가, ~는 and ~던. Then, you will learn about two specific words that are difficult to use for foreign learners of Korean. |
 In these lessons, you will begin by learning a common abbreviation to ~하지 않다. Then, the remaining lessons will focus on two main ideas – ~느냐 and 말. For example, you will learn how to use ~느냐 as ~느냐는 and ~느냐에 따라서. Also, you will learn how 말 is used as 말이다, 말이지 and ~(이)야말로. |
 In these lesson, you will see how 말 is used in a variety of different grammatical principles. Namely, ~ㄹ/을까 말까, ~거나 말거나, ~ㄹ/을락 말락, ~고 말겠다 and ~고 말았다. Then, you will see how 싶다 is used in a variety of different grammatical principles. Specifically, how it can be preceded by ~ㄹ/을까, ~다, ~나, ~ㄴ/은가, ~ㄴ/은/는/을/ㄹ지 and ~았/었으면. Finally, you will see how ~기는요 and ~치고(는) are used. |
