I can't believe I hadn't already made a video about ~게 되다 - that's how important and common this grammar form is. You can use this form to show that something "ends up" happening a certain way, as well as in many other situations.

Remember that each "Learn Korean" episode comes with a free PDF which you can download below the video link right in this post.

Thanks for watching~!

In the show Portlandia, there’s an episode where Peter and Nance visit a local farm, visiting the chickens they’d be eating at a restaurant to ensure they were ethically raised. I like to imagine that’s where this tortilla chicken soup recipe comes from in the Portlandia cookbook. 

Ingredients:

The basic course is cheaper, easier and faster, but not better.

Why is that?

• There is less content: video, text, audio.
• Topics do not go into as much depth. For example...
• Less info on lesson planning.
• Less info on classroom management.
• No feedback on assignments.
• Assignments are not required to progress in the course.

What are the problems with the basic course? Well, if you can read through the lines above you may be able to see why.

• It's less thorough.
• There is no feedback so even if you do the suggested assignments you won't know how well you are doing them.
• There is no assistance. It's a 100% automated course.
• You won't be as prepared to enter the classroom.

The basic course is a stripped down version. It still contains some video and there are 17 topics. You have access to this course for a year which is still far more than most courses.

Want your Korean to sound more like a native? You'll need to learn current Korean language trends, and know how to use them appropriately. So I started this new series called "Korean Language Trends" to show what's currently trending in the Korean language and help keep you up to date.

Today's first language trend is 워라밸. You can use this word in your Korean sentences just like in the example sentences I give in the video.

A few months ago I got a call from Dylan Goldby, who is a legendary photographer and writer for F-stoppers. He was coming down to my neck-of-the-woods and wanted to meet up for some sunrise shots and some coffee.

Checking the map, I had to laugh as he told me to meet him at the baby bottle lighthouse, which is in front of the Mazinger Z Lighthouse which next to the Taekwon V Lighthouse. I got a good little chuckle out of this.

Just knowing this one tip will help you to be able to use Korean verbs more easily - transitive and intransitive verbs.

What's the meaning of an intransitive or transitive verb? Is it important to know these words, or what they mean?

How do you put together sentences in Korean? What order do the words go in? How about longer, more complex sentences with multiple verbs, adverbs, and particles? I cover all of that in this video.

This is the abridged version of the live Korean class we had last year about Korean sentence structure.
