The Korean letter ㅎ isn't as straightforward as it may first appear.

There are some special tricks to pronouncing it in conversation, so I'll share those tips with you in this video.

Starting today we'll be getting a new series of "Grading Korean," but this time I'll be grading YOUR Korean - my subscribers.

The first subscriber I'll be grading in this first episode is Maria from Sweden.

I'll grade what she does well, how she can improve, and everything between. I'd like to keep this series going for a while, so please let me know if you have suggestions for who to grade next.

Back when I was first starting my channel, I wasn't even aware of the best Advanced level Korean resource online - and it was right there waiting for me the whole time to discover. That is 국립국어원 (The National Institute of the Korean Language), which I recommend for all Advanced level speakers and Korean language teachers.

Have you ever used this resource before, or heard of it?

At some point, if you travel to Korea without a tour group you're likely going to get lost, or you'll need to ask for help finding somewhere. We can ask several things related to this, such as how to say you're confused or that you don't understand, using only what we've learned in this course.

I'll also explain what things you can do after this course is over to continue your language journey.

Let's learn some important phrases you'll want to know when going shopping in Korea.

This course is almost over! Next episode (100) will be the final one. Thank you for your support while I was making this series.

If you're new to this course, please start from the beginning (really). This course goes in order completely from the first episode. So if you follow along from episode 1, you'll be able to understand everything in episode 99.

Despite being a relatively simple video course (and free), you might be surprised that using only what we've learned so far there's actually a lot of sentences we can make. In this episode we'll learn how to order food at a restaurant, as well as some other useful phrases. Also you'll learn about several of the most important Korean holidays.
