악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean Part 1 (1/4)

Hi Tumblr! Long time no see. I’ve prepared a grammar lesson for you all this week. Part 1 of my “악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean” is divided into four parts, and it will be posted throughout this week.

악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean Part 1: Subjects, Particles and Verbs

This is one out of several posts to help you start learning Korean seriously!

Learn the foundations of Korean grammar and sentence making by learning how to say “I like apples” in two different ways.

Introduction

Many posts that say, ‘start learning Korean here!’ often omit important grammatical foundations. It is important to know how to say “hello” and “I like ….” However, neglecting basic grammatical principles might be a burden later. This post is meant to introduce some basic grammatical aspects of the Korean language. Following this text will prepare you to tackle further material in the future.

YOU ARE THIS PERSON:

I know how to read 한글.

I am interested in furthering my Korean studies but lack a formal background.

I know phrases but I do not understand why they mean what they mean.

I know phrases but cannot write my own sentence.

I would like a foundational knowledge of Korean grammar.

My personal goal is to offer content that you don’t have to unlearn later. Will there be exceptions to these rules and examples? Certainly. But this is meant to give you a foundation of knowledge, not a set of absolute rules.

My hope, also, is that this gives you the tools to make sentences, instead of just memorizing phrases.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Understand the basic sentence structure of Korean.

Get to know a few particles (조사) and their functions:

Recognize two types of “verbs” in Korean: descriptive verbs (형용사) and action verbs (동사).

Learn two different ways to say “I like apples.”

NOT master the Korean language today.

subject particle, 이/가 (주격 조사)

topic particle, 은/는 (보조사)

object particle, 을/를 (목적격 조사)

** This lesson assumes that you know how to read Korean (Hangul). If not, please indulge in any of these two series: [TTMIK1 / TTMIK2] [Go! Billy  – Learn Hangul in 90 Minutes]

** I am using Korean grammatical terms in this post. Korean and English have different grammar systems, so it is good to recognize the differences in terms. They are not important for you to know today, but they are included, in case you’d like to keep a list of Korean grammar terms.

(0) Problem

We’re going to work with two sentences in this lesson:

저는 사과가 좋아요. 저는 사과를 좋아해요.

THEY LOOK SO SIMILAR! THEY BOTH MEAN “I LIKE APPLES.” WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Well, stick around and we’ll find out.

In case anyone wants some perspective on how utterly random triggers can be. I haven’t lived in a house with a garage door in four-ish years. Right now at this moment, I honestly can’t recall what they sound like, except something metallic moving and rather clanky.

There was one on tv. I wasn’t even paying attention to it, I had my headphones on and was actively trying to tune the show out. My ears picked up on the sound of the garage door, and a jolt of adrenaline shot through my body as I grabbed my laptop and moved to get out of my seat and run to my room.

I realized what happened after about two seconds.

The sound is gone from my ears, but my heart is still racing and I’m waiting for the door to the house to open, to hear the jingling of my mother’s keys and her footsteps moving through the house. My muscles are still tense and I’m fighting the urge to run to my room and stick a board in front of the door.

For years, the sound of a garage door was my warning to pack up what I was doing quickly and retreat to my room if I was out of it.

I can’t remember the sound of the garage door right now, but I can’t tell my brain to stop trying to react to it.
