I feel like as an intermediate learner, I think more and more using 조사 in a 100% natural way the way natives do is almost impossible.
Many also say "well Koreans also drop them in speech all the time" but I find this to be untrue, I still hear it quite often during my conversations, and even using it "correctly" grammatically can still sound unnatural
Thoughts?
Hi, I've been quite obsessive with having a good accent as of late, and would like to hear from native speakers on how I sound out of 10 and what I can improve on!
I've noticed when speaking about Korean presidents a lot of Koreans don't wanna give their 평가 till their time in office is over.
Is there a particular reason for this?
So I've seen a lot of arguing online and in person debates where people will insult someone but they use 존댓말 instead of 반말.
Is there any reason 존댓말 is still used when your degrading someone?
Hello intermediate Korean learner here! I've been learning Korean for some time and most of my output practice has actually been in 반말, as almost all my friends I am older with or our relationship was established using 반말.
I only have 2 friends where I use 존댓말 with, because of my lack of experience using 존댓말 do most friends eventually switch from 존댓말 to 반말?
Hello, I am a fellow Korean learner and one of my goals for Korean is to understand the news, be able to watch history YouTube videos, and read history books. etc.
Has anyone here been able to reach a high comprehension of political/historical content in the Korean? How long did it take you?
(PS, Currently I'm more focused on YouTube videos as I wanna make sure my listening is on par with my reading)
