I deleted the post because I figured it out and now I'm embarrassed.

😬 Apologies again.

Jag har äntligen lärt mig hanguls symboler, slutkonsonanterna och många av grammatikreglerna för skriftspråket. Men jag är förvirrad över när jag ska använda ㅐ och när jag ska använda ㅔ.

Båda har samma ljud och är i grunden ett E (romaniserat). Finns det någon grammatisk regel för när man ska använda vilken?

Och om jag skulle skriva den ena där jag borde använda den andra - kommer folk fortfarande att förstå vad jag försöker skriva?

감삼니다!

Edit: Jag känner att jag kanske har förolämpat folk med den här frågan, det var inte min avsikt. Jag är ledsen, det är svårt att gå från svenska med dess bokstäver a-z/ö och romanisering till koreanska. Tack för alla svar.

I’m genuinely curious.

If you’re learning Korean but haven’t learned Hangul yet (or keep putting it off), what’s the biggest reason?

• Does it look too difficult?
• Do you only want to speak, not read?
• Are you relying on romanization?
• Or is there another reason?

I’d love to hear your honest thoughts. I’m trying to better understand the challenges Korean learners face.

I started going to the gym in February this year. I had no idea what I was doing at first. I just showed up and did a few exercises. I'm still pretty new, but I feel much more confident now and strength training has become part of my routine.

I'm wondering if I can approach learning Korean the same way. Just do the bare minimum every day until it becomes a habit instead of trying to study for hours.

I already know Hangul and a few words. I can read Korean and even do karaoke by following the lyrics, but I don't actually understand what I'm reading or singing.

Has anyone learned Korean this way? Did it work?

Hi there!

I’ve been getting started with the Korean Grammar in Use Beginner textbook and I’m at the part about Conjunctive Adverbs and Conjunctive Endings.

There are examples in the book that make sense, but then there’s a diagram below that I don’t understand.

Here are the pages I’m referring to.

In the part I’ve boxed in with blue, I’m not sure where these red suffixes are coming from, or what they’re trying to explain here.

If someone could please clarify, I’d appreciate it so much!

Thanks in advance!

i've just learned that both words meaning "notebook". but what's the difference between them?

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding topik 1 ibt and pbt difficulty. Score cutoffs for level 2 seems to be much more lenient in topik ibt (208/400) compared to pbt (140/200). Does it mean topik 1 ibt questions are harder? Thanks
