Let's dive right in!
7
So, in Korean, there are different ways to speak depending on how close you are to the other person Casual, polite, and formal Today, we'll focus on the 'Polite Form' Why?
8
Because in daily conversation, polite form is used more than 90% of the time It's very easy to recognize Polite sentences always end with '요 Yo' Like, 사랑해요 안녕하세요 Like this. Got it?
9
So, if a sentence ends with '요 Yo' you can instantly think, 'They are speaking politely to me! 😆' Like that Now, we are ready to learn 7 essential expressions you need to introduce yourself in Korean First, Hello! 안녕하세요! In Korea, when you greet someone who isn't your close friend it's common to bow slightly like this to show respect The deeper you bow, the more polite and respectful you appear In daily life, just a gentle nod like this is enough So, say this!
10
안녕하세요 And second, nice to meet you 반가워요 After you say hello it's great to express that you're happy to meet the other person, right?
11
Simply say 반가워요 And Third, What's your name? 이름이 뭐예요? And if you want to tell them your name, you say '저는 <Your Name> 이에요.' In the case of J-Hope 저는 J-Hope이에요. And my name is Youseop So, 저는 Youseop이에요. If she can speak, she's Maru Her name is Maru, so Maru, please introduce yourself to them 😉🐶 저는 Maru예요.
12
Great! And what is his name?
13
His name is Jin So, if I ask him What is your name? 이름이 뭐예요? Then he'll answer like this 저는 Jin이에요 Now, it's your turn Let me ask what your name is What is your name? 이름이 뭐예요? I'm listening Go ahead Oh, that's a pretty name I got it Thank you!
14
And next, people often ask about where you're from You can ask Where are you from? 어디에서 왔어요? And respond by saying 저는 <Your country>에서 왔어요 For example, I'm from Korea Korea in Korean is 한국 I can say like this 저는 한국에서 왔어요 I'll give you four countries as examples First, the United States In Korean, it is 미국 If you are from United States, then you can say 저는 미국에서 왔어요 Next, India! 🇮🇳 India is 인도 in Korean So 저는 인도에서 왔어요 If you're from Italy 🇮🇹 저는 이탈리아에서 왔어요 If you're from France 🇫🇷 저는 프랑스에서 왔어요 Usually, country names sound very similar in Korean If you want to know exactly how your country's name sounds in Korean, just leave a comment I'll help you Next!
15
Talking about hobbies is a great way to make friends, right?
16
So what's your hobby?
17
What do you do for fun?
18
취미가 뭐예요? You can say things like 여행 여행 좋아해요 I like traveling 여행 좋아해요 넷플릭스 I watch Netflix 넷플릭스 봐요 드라마 봐요 드라마 좋아해요 드라마 사랑해요 And do you like cooking?
19
Then say this!
20
I like cooking 요리 좋아해요 If you want to ask someone if they like cooking, just slightly raise your tone at the end of the sentence like this Do you like cooking? 요리 좋아해요? When you raise your tone at the end, it becomes a question Do you like cooking? 요리 좋아해요? And if you keep your tone flat, it's just a normal sentence I like cooking. 요리 좋아해요. So, let me ask you again Do you like cooking? 요리 좋아해요? Oh, do you like cooking?! 요리 좋아해요?! I like cooking too. 저도 요리 좋아해요! 😆 Yeah, fist bump 👊 Great!
21
Next Let's learn two more sentences together Stay with me Always good to check how they are feeling, right?
22
So, How are you? 잘 지내요? And as I told you, if you keep your tongue flat like this, I'm doing well. 잘 지내요. It means I'm doing well. All good. 잘 지내요 So one more time All good? 잘 지내요? All good. 네, 잘 지내요. I'm doing well 잘 지내요. Great Almost there The last sentence Say Goodbye 잘 가요 👋 It's a warm and friendly way to say goodbye in Korean Goodbye 잘 가요 Now you're ready to introduce yourself in Korean Let's take a look at how we can use this sentence in a conversation His name is John Let's listen to the conversation with me and John Are you ready?

Practice Tips

To effectively utilize the phrases learned in this lesson, I recommend using the shadowing technique. This method involves listening closely to the video and mimicking the speaker's pronunciation and intonation as they introduce themselves in Korean. Pay attention to the polite form of sentences, which often ends with '요' [yo], signaling respect in conversation. By practicing aloud, you will enhance your English speaking practice as you translate those feelings and sounds into your own expressions.

Start by playing the video at a slower speed, allowing you to absorb the phrases before attempting to repeat them. Focus on the rhythm and tone of the language, ensuring you capture the politeness and friendliness of the greetings. As you grow more comfortable, gradually increase the speed to match the natural flow of the conversation. This approach not only improves your Korean pronunciation but also lets you engage with the content more deeply. Remember, consistent practice using the shadow speech method can dramatically enhance your language learning experience! Hwaiting!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
