Korean Diary

Ok, in direct confliction to my previous posts about learning only one or two words every day, I have a list of words that I’d like you to learn.  Because of the way the podcasts are coming through (it only picks up the first MP3 in my post), I had to divide each word into its own mini-post, so please forgive me if you are confused!  This is a very large lesson, which is why I put it on Friday.  You will be learning a lot of vocabulary here.

We are going to learn a bunch of words that are related.

Vocabulary

The first is “Student” or 학생.  Here is the language file.

The second is “Language” or 말.  Here is the language file.

The third is “Person” or 사람.  Here is the language file.

And finally, the fourth is “Teacher” or 선생.  Here is the language file.

Countries

Let’s learn some country names!

Korea - 한국 (language file)
