Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas, and Luna's here with me. Luna: Hey everyone! Ready to learn some fun new phrases today? Lucas: Absolutely. So Luna, last episode we talked about snowy weather. But today, I thought we'd explore another hobby-related topic. Luna: Oh, I love hobbies! What have you got for us? Lucas: We've covered reading, movies, cooking, photography, travel... But we haven't talked about singing or dancing yet. Luna: Ooh, that sounds fun! I love singing, even though I'm not great at it. Lucas: Perfect. In Korean, 'to sing' is 노래하다. But in conversation, we often say 노래해요. Luna: 노래해요. Lucas: Good. Now, 'to dance' is 춤추다. We say 춤춰요. Luna: 춤춰요. Lucas: Great. Now let's put them in sentences. 'I sing' is 저는 노래해요. Luna: 저는 노래해요. Lucas: And 'I dance' is 저는 춤춰요. Luna: 저는 춤춰요. Lucas: Now, you can also say something is fun: 재미있어요. Luna: 재미있어요. That's a useful one. Lucas: So if someone asks 'What do you do for fun?' you can say 뭐 하고 놀아요? Literally 'what do you do to play?' Luna: 뭐 하고 놀아요? That's cute. Lucas: And you can answer with your hobby. For example, 'I sing' — 저는 노래해요. Or 'I dance' — 저는 춤춰요. Luna: Got it. So if someone asks me 뭐 하고 놀아요? I can say 저는 노래해요! Lucas: Exactly. And if it's fun, you can add 재미있어요. Luna: So 저는 노래해요, 재미있어요. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's practice with a little scene. Imagine we're at a karaoke place. Luna: Oh, I love noraebang! Lucas: So I ask you: 뭐 하고 놀아요? Luna: 저는 노래해요! 재미있어요. Lucas: Awesome. Now you try asking me. Luna: Lucas, 뭐 하고 놀아요? Lucas: 저는 춤춰요! 재미있어요. Luna: Nice. So you're the dancer. Lucas: I try. Now let's repeat the key phrases once more. 노래해요. Luna: 노래해요. Lucas: 춤춰요. Luna: 춤춰요. Lucas: 재미있어요. Luna: 재미있어요. Lucas: 뭐 하고 놀아요? Luna: 뭐 하고 놀아요? Lucas: 저는 노래해요. Luna: 저는 노래해요. Lucas: 저는 춤춰요. Luna: 저는 춤춰요. Lucas: You know, making these episodes takes a lot of work, but it's really rewarding. If Fexingo has been helping you make progress with Korean, there's a small way to support us.
