Talk To Me in Korean

Level 1 Lesson 1 : Hello, Thank you



“Hello.” is “안녕하세요. [an-nyeong-ha-se-yo]”
“Thank you.” is “감사합니다. [gam-sa-hap-ni-da]”

If you already know how to say these expressions, listen to the lesson to find out how to say them most naturally

Level 1 Lesson 2 : Yes, No, What?



네. [ne] = Yes.
아니요. [aniyo] = No.

But in Korean, when people say “네”, it is not the same as saying “Yes.” in English. The same goes for “아니요” too. This is because the Korean “네” expresses your “agreement” to what the other person said. And “아니요” expresses your “disagreement” or “denial” to what the other person said.

Level 1 Lesson 3 : Good-bye, See you



One is when you are the one who is leaving. And the other is when you are the one who is staying.

If you are leaving, and the other person is (or the other people are) staying, you can say:
안녕히 계세요. [an-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo]

If you are staying, an the other person is (or the other people are) leaving, you can say:
안녕히 가세요. [an-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo]


Level 1 Lesson 4: I’m sorry, Excuse me



After listening to this lesson, you will be able to say “I am sorry” or “I apologize” and you will also be able to get someone’s attention when you want to say something to them or order something in a restaurant.

죄송합니다. [joe-song-hap-mi-da]

[joe-song] means “apology”, “being sorry” or “feeling ashamed”, and 합니다 [hap-ni-da] means “I do”, so 죄송합니다 [joe-song-hap-ni-da] means “I am sorry.” or “I apologize.”
