Learn Korean Naturally — Everyday Seoul Style
If you’ve ever dreamed of ordering coffee in Korean or navigating the Seoul subway like a local, this is your chance!
The Everyday Seoul Korean Study Pack for English Speakers helps you learn real Korean you’ll actually use — not just textbook phrases.
This study pack includes practical conversation units, grammar mini-notes, pronunciation drills, and vocabulary lists — all designed for English speakers who want to speak Korean confidently.
How to Use This Study Pack
Follow these four easy steps for effective learning:
- Read the Korean line aloud.
- Check the English meaning.
- Shadow with natural rhythm (연음 / linked speech).
- Swap words to build new sentences.
You’ll notice your pronunciation, rhythm, and sentence structure improving every day!
What You’ll Learn
Unit 1 — Subway & Signage
Learn how to ask for directions politely:
“Excuse me, can I get to City Hall Station on this line?”
“Yes, transfer after two stops.”
These are useful expressions for traveling around Seoul confidently.
Unit 2 — Cafe Ordering
Perfect your polite café conversations:
“One tall Americano, please.”
“No sugar, just a little syrup.”
“I’ll drink it here, thank you.”
Tip: Always try to answer with full sentences (e.g., say “One tall Americano, please” instead of just “Americano”).
Unit 3 — Connected Speech (연음 연습)
Korean sounds often flow together — that’s called 연음 (yeoneum).
Examples:
- 같이 가요 → [가치 가요]
- 맛있어요 → [마시써요]
- 밥을 먹어요 → [바블 먹어요]
Understanding this helps you sound natural and fluent.
Unit 4 — Keep It Simple (쉬운 한국어로 말하기)
Practice polite and clear Korean:
- “천천히 말씀해 주세요.” (Please speak slowly.)
- “이 말이 맞나요?” (Is this correct?)
- “다시 한 번 부탁드려요.” (One more time, please.)
These are great for conversations with native speakers.
Unit 5 — Grammar Mini-Notes
Master key grammar points quickly:
Pattern Meaning Example
| -은/는 | Topic marker | 표지판은 보기 쉬워요. |
| -이/가 | Subject marker | 역이 멀어요. |
| -지만 | But / contrast | 걱정했지만 괜찮았어요. |
| -아서/어서 | So / because | 표지판이 많아서 편해요. |
| -려고 하다 | Intend to | 갈아타려고 해요. |
These mini-notes make Korean grammar clear and simple.
Unit 6 — Pronunciation Drills
Practice sound accuracy and rhythm:
- 길 / 밀 / 빌 → 길이, 밀어요, 빌려요
- 밖 / 박 / 밝 → 밖에, 박사, 밝아요
- 못 / 몫 / 목 → 못 해요, 몫이에요, 목이 아파요
Focus on clarity, not speed — pronunciation is key to fluency.
Unit 7 — Substitution Drills
Try swapping words to make new sentences:
Model: “영어 표지판이 많아서 찾기 쉬워요.”
Swap subjects: 한글 안내도 / 지하철 앱 / 길 안내 방송
Swap predicates: 이해가 돼요 / 금방 익숙해져요
This method helps you think in Korean, not just translate.
Unit 8 — Practice Tasks
✅ Write your own polite subway requests.
✅ Practice café orders using full sentences.
✅ Use -지만 and -아서/어서 in your own experiences.
✅ Create two examples of connected speech and write how they sound.
These creative exercises help solidify your learning.
