As you guys study about Korean language, you might come across to many different verb ending for example 해, 해요, 하세요, 합니다, 하십니다 and more, each represent different level of speech use to indicated the level of formality of a situation.

The Korean language emphasize a lot on showing respect, thus born the honorific system in Korean grammer which used to differentiate the level of familiarity, or difference in social rank between addresser and the addressee.

There are many way to show respect in Korean language. I will try to simplify and make sure you guys understand the basic behind this honorifics system which often brings confusion to foreigner studying this language.

Coffee is actually part of Korean culture nowadays. Most of the Koreans love coffee and you can find coffee vending machines all over cities and street. Culturally Korean always offer to treat each other a cup of coffee and it will be rude if you are having coffee all alone, which brings us to our topic in this lesson. In this lesson, past tense will be used in the conversation.

In our daily conversation we talk about past, present and future. The past tense in Korean language is not as hard in English with many irregular, and the rule of stating the past tense is actually quite simply. Putting verb or adjective in past tense involve conjugation by combining with 았다 and 었다.

If you follow my lesson from start you should already learn topic marker and object marker. You are going to learn one more particle use in Korean language and often confusing for foreigner to understand: Subject Marker.

Pretty much like the object marker, you can guess that for subject marker is place after the subject. "가" is place if the word didn't have a final consonant and "이" is place if the word have a final consonant. However, the topic and subject in a sentence may be the same sometimes so how should we know when to put topic marker and when to put subject marker.

In this grammar lesson I'm going to teach you all the Object Marker (를,을) and the Difference between 에서 and 에, both really not that hard to understand. I will try my best to explain both ^^

Similar with subject marker which is place after the subject in a sentence, a object marker is place after the object in a sentence. If the word didn't have a final consonant, 를 will be use. If the word have a final consonant, 을 will be use instead. Pretty simple right??

From my previous post Hello To Koreans, I have taught you how to introduce yourself. Now I'm going to explain the grammar part in this post. As I mention in my previous post, Koreans emphasize a lot on respecting and politeness in their culture, so there exist the formal and informal way to say a sentence.

Now, there are two ways you can say "I" in Korean: 저 and 나. We use 저 when we are speaking to strangers, in formal situation or to elder person while 나 is used when talking to a person like our friend or someone younger than us. 저 and 나 indicates the use of formal (존대말) and informal (반말) way so choose the right one depend on the situation.

Of all the alphabets form words, and from words form sentences. Therefore to really understand what a Korean is really talking about,  grammar and sentence structure is very important.

To tell you all the truth I don't really care a crap about grammar and sentence structure, about what is subject, object, verb, adjective and etc and I still get at least A- in my English test ( I always told everyone I learn my English from television ^^)

Back to the topic, I'm not going to discuss about grammar now because I'm going to bring up the grammar stuff on future lesson (which is the way I learn), so now I'm going to talk about sentence structure. Now I'm assuming that all of you are doing fine in English and for English sentence structure we use the S-V-O rule.
