Preface (the first edtion)
This textbook is the second volume of My Korean, whose story of a long

development is already detailed in the preface of the first volume. We will,
however, repeat its development story again here because it tells about our
approach underlying the making of this book. If you have already read the
preface in the first volume, you may skip this one.
This textbook began its life as a personal collection of language
activities which complemented the textbook Learning Korean: New
Directions 1, (Pilot Edition 1) used in some Australian universities including
Monash University where we started teaching Korean in 1992. In 1995, this
meagre collection grew into a textbook of its own entitled Lets Speak Korean.
The following year the book went through a major change when Douglas
Ling, a former student of ours and a lecturer in Film Studies at RMIT
University (as a matter of fact, he is happily retired now), started helping us to
rephrase the grammar explanations to be more suitable for Australian learners.
The book title also changed to Talking to Koreans and we started to build a
Korean language learning web site based on the book and kept all the
materials on the site open to the public.
This open access policy was part of our efforts to promote Korean
language in Australia as well as around the world and to help other Korean
language educators who strove to provide a better learning environment
because of a dearth of Korean language learning materials. During the
following years, we kept modifying the book based on students feedback and
needs, added more learning materials to the web, as well as making another
title change into the current My Korean in 1998. However, in late 2006, we
lost a significant amount of our on-line materials when our university
introduced a new university-wide content management system. Only the
small amount but most important materials, have been migrated into the new
vi
system with generous assistance from the Faculty of Arts. This situation was
somewhat disastrous, however, it gave us a chance to rethink not only the
whole project but also about our approach to teaching, resulting in another
major rewrite for the book.
We have changed all the situation dialogues to make them more
authentic. In particular, we have broken away from the conventional method
of using mainly polite styles of speech throughout the entire book, because
this method tends to create highly unauthentic situations. For example, this
method created a very unlikely situation where two close friends used the
polite style of speech to each other. Therefore, we have used different styles
of speech which are appropriate to each situation, resulting in the use of close
friend style of speech in most cases. This style of speech is also more
appropriate for our students because they can immediately use it when they
talk to one another or when they talk to their Korean friends.
Another major change is the use of comics for every situation
dialogue to provide more extra-linguistic cues. When we communicate, we
use all kind of extra-linguistic cues available to make sense out of each
others speech. However, text-only dialogues lack these extra-linguistic cues
and make a students job of making sense out of an already foreign language a
lot harder. In order to solve this problem, we have used comics alongside the
recording of each situation dialogue, turning the dialogue multimodal and as
close as to that of a real situation. This multimodal dialogue allows learners
make meaning by using a crucial combination of words, graphics and sound.
Now, we should like to thank all those who have contributed in
different ways to this book:
To the Korea Foundation for the 2008 grant which made it possible to
include the comics for the situation dialogues and gave us the last push
into finishing this book;
To Ju Han Lee from Yeundoo Studio in Korea (http://yeundoo.com) for
the front cover design and the comics for the situation dialogues;
vii
To Hye-Jung Kim for most of the illustrations other than the situation
dialogue comics;
To Joel Atkinson, Erin Fitzgerald, Stephen Gartlan and Vicky Ryan for
formatting and editing;
To Youngsam Moon for providing invaluable information about
contemporary Korean expressions used by young people and for various
administrative works including organising a recording party and taking
part in it himself;
To Jihee Jung, Youngsun Hwang, Seongin Choi, Moon Chung and
Seonghwan Ahn for volunteering to do the recording;
To all the past and current students for their valuable feedback and
insights which they have let us gain through the collaborative exploration
of learning the language;
To Jung Sim Kim, Korean studies subject librarian at Monash University
for her hard work in building up the great Korean collection which was
invaluable in writing this book;
To our colleagues at the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics at
Monash University, in particular, Robert Irving, Bruce Jacobs, Helen
Marriott, Gloria Davies and Alison Tokita for their support and
encouragement;
And last but not least to our good friends, Lendriani and Nigel Thursfield,
Vicky and William Quek, Janet and Jim Murray, and Douglas and Helena
Ling for their love and support.
Following our open access policy, this book and its accompanying
audio files are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-
Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Australia License in the hope that this book
will make a small contribution to the development of Korean language
education throughout the world. As one of Less Commonly Taught
Languages, Korean still suffers from a dearth of learning materials. Korean
teachers often have to design their courses and develop learning materials that
viii
suit their students on top of their normal teaching duties, let alone their fight
to keep the Korean program alive. We have met many marvelous teachers
over the years and they have been our inspiration. We hope this book will
help those teachers in their efforts of creating a better learning environment
for their students.
To all, many thanks again for your assistance and encouragement.

Preface (the second edtion)
Since the first edition of this textbook was released four years ago, in 2010,
we have come to gain more insight into the teaching and learning of the
Korean language. This would not have been possible without the constructive
comments and feedback provided by our students over the years. We are also
thankful to our teaching staff, Danbee Kim and Hye-yun Bae for their
dedication to teaching and for their valuable feedback. In particular, we
would like to make a special mention of Danbee Kim, who has made a
significant contribution to this second edition, by assisting with improved
grammar explanations and better English translation, amongst many other
things.
The main areas of revision are:

(1) Some grammar explanations have been revised to help increase students
understanding.
(2) English translation has been revised to make it more natural.
(3) New symbols are used to help students learn Korean grammatical items
more effectively.
We hope you find the revisions and improvements contained in this second
edition to be hepful for your teaching or learning of the Korean language.

To the teacher and the learner
This book is primarily written for a Korean language university course for
beginners with a survival level of Korean proficiency, but it may be used in
other settings including self-study. The guidelines, therefore, are focused on
teaching or learning in a university setting, but we suggest that all the users of
the book read them regardless of whether you are a teacher or a student
enrolled in a course or you are using it on your own for independent study.
Objectives
This book is a follow-up to the first volume of My Korean which introduces
learners to the Korean alphabet and some everyday situations to help them
acquire survival Korean. This book consolidates and extends the work
begun in the first volume by helping learners continue to develop their ability
to communicate in routine social situations.
Basic Approach
Our experiences of teaching Korean for more than two decades and the
results of language learning research tell us that a good foundation of
language structures is essential for learners to be successful. This book,
therefore, concentrates on giving learners a good working knowledge of the
basic structure and grammar of the Korean language with a limited number of
vocabulary items that are frequently used in everyday situations. Once they
acquire this knowledge, they can expand their vocabulary quite easily on their
own as need arises. This approach can also maximise small contact hours
(usually four to five hours a week) available in many university settings.
xi
Structure of the book
This book is organised into ten units and is basically taught one unit per week
in one semester. Each unit is composed of three situation dialogues, grammar
explanations and various tasks such as role plays, listening, writing and
reading.
Information about each unit is presented in the contents of this book.
Therefore, there is no need for further explanations here apart from Unit
Eleven, which is basically designed to refresh the learners memory of what
they have learned in the first volume although it introduces one new grammar
pattern.
There are twenty four appendices. Appendices One to Twenty Two
have verb and adjective conjugation tables. Appendix Twenty Three is the list
of basic particles and suffixes. Appendix Twenty Four is a list of basic
Korean editing symbols and a handwriting sheet which can be used for
writing practice or writing assignments.
Situation dialogues, role plays and listening tasks

As mentioned above, each unit is composed of three situation dialogues,
grammar explanations and various tasks such as role plays, listening, writing
and reading. The situation dialogues, role plays and listening tasks require
some explanation.
The situation dialogues are presented in two modes: comics and
text-only mode. Comics are used to provide extra-linguistic cues which are
normally available when we communicate. The comics and the recording of
each situation dialogue provide multimodal language input to help students
job of making meaning. There are also some differences in spellings used in
the comics and the corresponding text-only dialogue. We use the colloquial
version in the comics to show how some words are pronounced differently
from their standard spellings.
The situation dialogues are also presented in two settings: the Korean
setting and the Australian setting. The first setting involves mainly two
xii
Korean university students, Minseo Kim and Jihun Park. The second setting
revolves around three university students, Minjun Kim, Paul Smith and
Hyeonu Lee, who are studying in Australia. The presence of any of these
characters will tell you in which setting each dialogue is taking place.
The role plays are somewhat mechanical and different from those
based on communicative methods. They are to provide a more interesting
setting for the practice of speaking and listening. They can, however, be used
as a basis for the more communicative nature of role plays by encouraging the
students to be more creative and to play with the language.
Most listening tasks are from our old out-of-print listening books,
which were called Elementary Task-Centered Listening Comprehension of
Korean 1 and 2, published in 1994 and later changed to Korean Through
Active Listening 1 and 2. The listening books were always used alongside the
textbook until they became out of print in early 2008. This development has
allowed the incorporation of the listening tasks into the textbook, resulting in
the more rounded and user-friendly textbook. We have to admit that the
expressions in the listening tasks are not as natural as they should be, but they
still provide good input via listening, which is very important in language
learning. We have polished some English expressions, resulting in a few
discrepancies between the texts and the recordings.
The listening tasks do not have answer keys. It has only the transcript
at the end of the book and the learners are required to find the answers
themselves first by listening and then by reading.
Romanisation
This book has used the Korean government romanisation system.

About symbols used in this book
These symbols are designed to help you learn Korean grammatical items
more effectively. At the beginning, you may need some time to familiarise
yourself with these symbols. However, as you progress throughout this book,
you will find these symbols to be very useful for your Korean language
learning.
Symbol Meaning Example

+(a/b) This symbol is used for the adjective and +(/)
verb endings which follow the last vowel +(/)
rule. When the last vowel in a preceding +(/)
stem/word is or , the element a
should be used. Otherwise, the element b
should be used.
( ) Parentheses without a slash inside means +{/} ()
the part inside them can be omitted
without causing any significant change in
its overall meaning.
+{a/b} This symbol is used for the grammatical +{/}?
items which follow the consonant or vowel +{/}
rule. That is, when a preceding word ends
in a consonant, the first element a is used,
and when it ends in a vowel, the second
element b is used.
+{a} This symbol is also used for the +{}
grammatical items which follow the +{}
consonant or vowel rule. That is, the first
element a is used only when a preceding
word ends in a consonant.
a/b The backward slash used without +(/)
parentheses or braces means that a and /
b are interchangeable.
subscript The particles and are often +
shortened in spoken Korean to and +
+{/}
respectively and integrated with their
preceding syllables, as in +
and + . The subscripts mean
these shortened forms.

UNIT 11 ? 5
Cause and Result: +(/) , so

We use +(/) to express the result of situation for a statement or give an
answer to a why question.
Verb or Adjective Stem +(/)
You have learnt how to talk about what you are doing, or what you usually
do, using the present tense ending +(/). You will remember that we
created a verb by adding this ending, which carries the grammatical function,
to a verb stem carrying the basic meaning. So to create this +(/) form,
all we have to do is alter the ending that carries the grammatical function.
Instead of using the +(/) ending, simply add + or to the
stem:
+ + + (Present Tense)
+ + + (Cause & Result)
General Rules:
a) If the last vowel of the stem is or : +
+ its fine, so
+ its expensive, so
b) If the last vowel is not or : +

+ its far, so
+ its interesting, so
c) If the stem ends in : changes to

its clean, so
its warm, so
6 UNIT 11 ?
d) If the stem ends with the consonant : drop and add +

In this case, the consonant is replaced with the vowel and then you
add .
+ its close, so
+ its difficult, so
e) If the stem ends with the vowel : drop and add + or

In this case the final vowel is dropped and + or + is added,
depending on the vowel of the preceding syllable. If it is or , add
+. Otherwise, add +, including when the stem is a single syllable.
+ (someone) is sick, so
+ (someone/something) is
big, so
Examples:
(1) . That dress is expensive,
so I cant buy it.
(2) . I havent any money,

so I cant go to a restaurant.
When you use the +(/), you must use the verb or adjective stem plus
+(/) irrespective of the tense of the sentence. Thus, in (3) to say it
was expensive, so... we do not use (++) but
together with a past tense in the final verb (++). It is the
same in (4), where is used, not (++).
(3) . That dress was expensive,

so I couldnt buy it.
UNIT 11 ? 7
(4) A: ? Did you go to a restaurant

yesterday?
B: . I didnt have any money,
so I couldnt go.
(5) . He hasnt arrived yet, so we

cant go.
(Not .)
We can also split the sentence into two by using the conjunction as in
examples (6) - (8).
(6) . That dress is expensive.
. So I cant buy it.
(7) . I dont have any money.
. So I cant go to the restaurant.
(8) . He (Lit. that person) hasnt

arrived yet.
. So we cant go.
(9) A: ? Why did you drink so much?
B: . I was really upset, so I had a

few drinks.
(10) A: ? Why are you so late?
B: . . Sorry. My car broke down,

so...
(11) A: ? Why didnt you do your

homework?
8 UNIT 11 ?
B: My parents suddenly came
. over, so I couldnt do it.
(12) A: ? Why didnt you come to the

party yesterday?
B: . Some friends suddenly came
over, so....
(13) A: ? (casual) Why did you go to see a doctor

yesterday?
B: ( *). I had a headache,
so (I went see a doctor).
(*In the West, many doctors are based in small clinics but this is not
the case in Korea. Koreans routinely go to a hospital for treatment for
even minor ailments. Thus, if statement A above were translated as
Why did you go to the hospital yesterday? it would give the wrong
connotation.)
(14) . Sorry Im late.

(15) . Thanks a lot for your help.
(16) . Thank you for coming.

UNIT 14 ? 95
Reason or Cause: +{} since; because

We previously learnt how to give a reason or cause by using +(/).
However, you cannot always use +(/) in the middle of a sentence. If
you look at the examples in Unit 11, you will notice that +(/) is
always followed by a direct statement about events (usually in the past). But
often you will want to express a reason or cause and follow it with an order,
a suggestion, or a statement of what you intend to do. In these cases you
must use +{} as the mid-sentence link between the reason or cause
and the resulting order, suggestion, or statement of intention. It can be used
with verbs, adjectives and nouns.
Verb or Adjective Stem +{}
Noun +{}
1) Rules for verb or adjective stems:

a) If the verb or adjective stem ends in a vowel: +
. Since we (you) are busy,
( . ) do it quickly.
b) If the verb or adjective stem ends in a consonant (not ): +

. Since we dont have much
( . ) time, lets catch a taxi.
c) If the verb or adjective stem ends in the consonant : drop

+
. Since its cold,
( . ) I am going to have coffee.
* +
96 UNIT 14 ?
2) Rules for nouns:

d) If the noun ends in a vowel: +
. Since youre a man, you should pay.
e) If the noun ends in the consonant: +

Since tomorrow is a public holiday,
. lets go and see a movie.
Examples:
(1) Im hungry lets eat! (Lit Since
. Im/were hungry, lets eat quickly).
(2) Take an umbrella its raining (Lit.
. Since its raining, take an umbrella).
(3) Put on more clothes its cold (Lit.
. Since its cold, put on more clothes).
(4) . Its hot. Be careful (hon.).
(* +)
(5) A: ? Where shall we go for lunch?
B: Lets go to Seoul Restaurant their
*. food is cheap and tasty (Lit. Since

Seoul restaurant is cheap and the
foods good, lets go there).
* In this example, the form is used to make a suggestion. You
could also say or . is more formal than , and
is the casual form of .
UNIT 14 ? 97
Grammar: Unlike +(/), +{} or +{} must be used with

the past tense of the verb or adjective when required.
(5) . Since Sumi has arrived, lets go.
(*++)
(6) A: Since you did well in the exam,
. (*++) you should treat me to a meal.
B: . . OK, Ill buy you dinner.

(When something good happens to somebody, such as winning in the
lottery, receiving a scholarship or getting a promotion, Koreans often
shout their friends or colleagues to a meal or a night out. It is quite
acceptable to remind them with the phrase or
(more casual than ))
More on using +{} and +(/):

The following table shows which combinations can or cannot be used.
since; because then (result)

Change in an Action or State:

When there is a change in the action or state we can use:
Verb or Adjective Stem +
Action or State 1 Action or State 2
If we are engaged in one activity and it is interrupted by another, we use

+. There is no exact English equivalent, though in the examples given
here it can be translated as while. However, unlike the English while,
when using + the subject of the two actions must always be the
same.
Examples:
(1) . I fell over while running.
(*fall over +)
(2) . I had an accident while driving.
(*+)
(3) . We fought while playing soccer.
(*fight +)
(4) I twisted my ankle

(10) I hurt my back
. while mowing the lawn.
(11) I used to live in the halls of
residence, but last week moved into

a homestay near uni.
.
As in example (11), this pattern can also be used if the change of action is
deliberate not only when the first action is interrupted by the second action,
but indicating a transition from one action to another.
Grammar: Although the first action is a past event, the verb does not
include the tense: we just attach + to the verb stem. The second verb
indicates the tense of both actions.

Instant Decision: +{/} Ill; Well

When we decide to do something at the time of speaking, we can use:
Verb Stem + {/} (Casual)
Verb Stem +{/} (Polite)
Note 1: We do not use +{/} to talk about something that is already

decided or planned. Usually +{/} is used instead. For instance:
A: ?
B: . . (WRONG!)
. . (okay)
Note 2: +{/} is used to express the speakers own intention only.

Therefore, the subject of sentence must always be I or we (i.e. first
person). That is, the subject cannot be you (second person) or he/she/they
(third person). See below:
(a) . Ill buy it. (okay)
(b) ? Will you buy it? (WRONG!)
(c) . Minseo will buy it. (WRONG!)
Instead of (b) above, which is grammatically incorrect, we can say:

? (Do you wanna buy it?) or ? (Are you going to buy it?).
Similarly, instead of (c) above, we can say: (Minseo is going
to buy it).
Rules:
a) If the verb stem ends in a vowel: +.
. Ill clean the room.
UNIT 15 ? 155
b) If the verb stem ends in a consonant: +.

. Ill eat it later.
Examples:
(1) A: . Jimin is not home at the moment.
B: . Ill call back later.

B: . Ill lend you one.
(3) A: . This homework is too hard.

Housing in Korea
There are three main types of housing in Korea:
Apartment
In 2005, 53% of Koreas population was housed in apartment buildings.
These are typically over ten stories high and grouped together in large
complexes, with private security and a shared garden and/or childrens play
area.
House
There are relatively few houses in large cities due to the price of land.
However, they are still common in rural areas. You can see houses newly
built in the traditional Korean style in some wealthier residential areas.
Villa
In Korea, the term villa refers to housing which is more spacious and more
expensive than an ordinary apartment. Villas buildings are smaller than
apartment buildings, and a watchman and a manager take care of security
and maintenance.

Public Transportation in Seoul

Bus:
There are four types of buses: blue, green, red and yellow. Blue buses (
) travel the major routes between downtown Seoul and its satellite
cities. Green buses ( ) serve the routes between subway stations and
nearby residential areas. Red buses ( ) serve routes between
major areas (downtown, Gangnam, Yeongdeungpo, etc.) and metropolitan
satellite cities (Ilsan, Bundang, Uijeongbu, etc.). Yellow buses ( )
travel circular belt roads in the downtown and the major metropolitan areas.
Taxi:
There two types of taxis: regular () and deluxe (). Deluxe
taxis provide better service and are more comfortable, However they are also
more expensive. You can distinguish deluxe taxis by their black colouring.
Taxis can be booked over the phone or hailed on the street. Regular taxis are
permitted to double hire so even if a taxi is occupied you can still hail it. Call
out your destination to passing taxi drivers, and if they are going your way,
they will stop and pick you up. Regular taxi fares are very cheap, making
them a convenient form of public transport. The flip side is that the drivers
have difficulty in making a decent living. As a result they generally drive fast
to earn more fares and may be rude if you are travelling only a short distance.
Subway: /
The word (train) is used to refer to long distance inter-city trains. Within
a city people refer to either the (subway) or the (above ground
electric train). The Seoul subway system is extensive, allowing convenient
travel to most areas of Seoul.

Soft Sentence Endings: +{/}

The ending +{/} softens the sentence, making it more polite. The
use of +{/} with adjectives is particularly common. For example,
when you ask the price of something at a market stall and think its a bit
expensive, you may say . It is grammatically correct to say
, which has exactly the same English meaning, however, using the
softer form, , shows you have some concern for their feelings and
you are not trying to be rude. (Also, it softens potential bluntness in negative
comments.) Thus, by using this form you are more likely to successfully
negotiate a lower price. On the other hand, if you think that the stall holders
price is unreasonable and you are not interested in buying, you could drop the
softened ending and say .
Using the +(/) form with adjectives is a direct or objective way of

describing something. It is safe to use it if you are complimenting someone or
making a positive statement about something. For example:
(This book is interesting). But if there could be a negative
connotation, a Korean would soften it: (This book is
a bit boring). In English you would get the same effect by using a certain tone
of voice or hesitating mid-sentence, or adding the words a bit to the
description (The Korean soft ending form is often used in combination with
the word , which means a (little) bit).
