This past Tuesday I finished Level 3 of Korean classes at Yonsei University. I’ve learned a lot these past few months, but I still need a ton of practice. Here are some different sentences straight out of my textbook that I learned during the past couple months…
키는 나만하고 얼굴은 까무스름하고, 안경 쓴 사람이 왔었어요.
Someone came who was my height with a swarthy face and glasses.콩 심은 데 콩 나지 팥이 안 나요.
If you plant soy beans you get soy beans, not red beans!고향에 가서 농사나 지을까 해요.
I’m thinking about moving back to my hometown and doing some farming or something.금강산도 식후경이라고 하던데 먹기부터 합시다.
They say, “Even the Diamond mountains are to be seen after eating,” so lets eat first.집에 있으라니요? 내가 강아지인가?
Stay home?! What am I, your dog?!생일이니까 미역국이라도 끓여 줍시다.
Since its her birthday let’s at least make her some seaweed soup.비 오듯이 나를 반긴다.
Sweat falls down from my face like the rain.저 사람이 우리더러 욕하는 것 같아요.
It looks like that person is swearing at us.Good times. God bless!

hahah with these phrases jm, you’re set for life!! ;P
aww man…you’re making me look so baaaddd…but, you’re doing an awesome job!
any phrase or expression using the word “swarthy” is a good one. I think all learners of a new language should learn that word, right after “hello” and “thank you.”
those expressions look rather advanced for level 3…. I was in level 3 at Yonsei, and I don’t remember those, but I was doing regular college classes (exchange student), not the KLI program. anyway, hope all is well. hope the heat isn’t getting to you and the children (I know it’s just gonna get worse…)
“Sweat falls down from my face like the rain.” ºñ ¿ÀµíÀÌ “¶¡ÀÌ È帥´Ù.” ?! It seems like a high level. Sometimes I’m amazed by your Korean!! Bless your humble heart and all your effort! =)
hahahahahah
