Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back! It's great to be here with you for episode 29 of Learn Korean with Fexingo. Luna: I'm so ready! Last time we learned about the past tense, and I've been practicing. Lucas: Oh, that's awesome. Today we're going to look at two very important verbs: 가다 and 오다. Luna: Okay, I think I've heard those. 가다 is 'to go' and 오다 is 'to come', right? Lucas: Exactly right. You've been paying attention. Let's start with 가다. Repeat after me: 가다. Luna: 가다. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's make a sentence. '어디에 가요?' means 'Where are you going?' Listen: 어디에 가요? Luna: 어디에 가요? Where are you going. Lucas: Good. Now try: '집에 가요' – 'I'm going home.' 집에 가요. Luna: 집에 가요. I'm going home. Lucas: Yes. Remember 집 means 'home' from our family episode. And we add '에' to show direction. Luna: Oh, so '에' is like 'to'? Lucas: Exactly. So 집에 가요 is 'I go to home.' Let's practice a little dialogue. Luna: Okay, let's do it. Lucas: I'll ask you: 어디에 가요? Luna: Um... 집에 가요. Lucas: Perfect! You answered. Now let's try 오다. Repeat after me: 오다. Luna: 오다. Lucas: Good. '여기에 와요' means 'come here.' 여기에 와요. Luna: 여기에 와요. Come here. So '여기' is 'here' like we learned before. Lucas: Right! And again, '에' marks the direction. So '여기에 와요' is 'come to here.' Luna: That makes sense. So I can say '학교에 가요' for 'I go to school'? Lucas: Yeah, totally! 학교에 가요. Great example. Luna: And '학교에 와요' would be 'come to school'? Lucas: Exactly right. You're getting it! Let's do a quick review. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: First, how do you say 'to go'? Luna: 가다. Lucas: And 'to come'? Luna: 오다. Lucas: How do you ask 'Where are you going?'? Luna: 어디에 가요? Lucas: And how do you say 'I'm going home'? Luna: 집에 가요. Lucas: Perfect. And 'come here'? Luna: 여기에 와요. Lucas: Excellent! You've got it. Now, try making a sentence with 'to the station'. Luna: Um... 역에 가요? Wait, 역 is station? Lucas: Yes! 역 means station, from our taxi episode. So 역에 가요 is 'I go to the station.' Luna: 역에 가요. That's cool. Lucas: Okay, let's do a tiny story. Imagine you're on the phone with a friend. Luna: Ooh, I like roleplay. Lucas: I'll call you. Ring ring. Luna: 여보세요? Lucas: 어디에 가요? Luna: 집에 가요. 그리고 당신은? Lucas: Oh, nice! 'And you?' That's advanced. I'll say: 저는 카페에 가요. I'm going to a cafe. Luna: 카페에 가요. Lucas: Good. So you can use these with any place: 학교, 집, 카페, 역. Luna: This is so useful. I feel like I can start making real sentences. Lucas: You absolutely can. Let's also practice 오다 one more time. If I say '여기에 와요', you come here. Luna: 여기에 와요. Come here. Lucas: And if someone is coming to your house, you can say '우리 집에 와요' – come to my house. Luna: 우리 집에 와요. That's sweet. Lucas: Alright, let's wrap up with some repetition. Repeat after me: 가다. Luna: 가다. Lucas: 오다. Luna: 오다. Lucas: 어디에 가요? Luna: 어디에 가요? Lucas: 집에 가요. Luna: 집에 가요. Lucas: 여기에 와요. Luna: 여기에 와요. Lucas: Great job today, everyone. Practice using these with different places you know. Luna: Yeah, this was really fun. I'm going to practice with my friends. Lucas: That's the spirit. Thanks for learning with Fexingo. See you next time! Luna: 안녕!
