In this episode, you will be introduced to a few basic and important terms that set the foundation for learning Korean grammar. We'll take a closer look at these terms one at a time:

• Korean Verbs in Dictionary Form
• Verb Stem (VS)
• Verb Continuative Stem (VCS)

We’ll look at 7 verbs, 5 of which have been introduced in the previous lessons and 2 of which are new. Although only 2 are new, today’s lesson will let you see all of the 7 verbs in a new light, as you will see how all the phrases come to have the “yo-ending."

Mastering these will make learning advanced Korean grammar significantly easier, as the different forms and extensions of Korean words are derived from the few core forms we will cover today, so pay attention closely. Are you ready?

Tune in and follow along - repeat after Teacher Kay, answer the questions, and find yourself SPEAKING Korean!
