This weekend I spent alot of time behind the wheel as Joseph and I went to SF and back. We went to celebrate Alex's 26th bday. We have a friend who also has a bday this weekend but couldn't make it due to midterms (happy bday Ben). Anyway.. on this long drive up to Norcal and back I learned some Korean phrases, ones I will be sure to use and others.. maybe not. Thanks to Joseph, I will be studying some Korean (while studying Japanese) for the next few weeks... and maybe continue to do so after =P
LESSON 1
Hi/hello - annyeonghaseyo
how are you? (greeting) - annyeonghaseyo?
yes - ne
no - anio
what?- mwo?
thank you- gamsahamnida
I like it!/Great!/Ok!/an excited positive response - joa!
I'm hungry - na baegopa
I'm thirsty - na mongmalla
I understand - arasseo
thats it for now.. as for pronunciations.. I'm not clear on how to pronounce these really.. once I do I'll come back and write my version.. for example gamsahamnida (thank you) sounds more like kamsahamnida and na baegopa (I'm hungry) sounds more like na paekopa...
