- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 90 already! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know. Time flies when you're learning Korean. So today we are going to learn some classroom vocabulary. Luna: Oh cool. Like things you'd find in a classroom or school? Lucas: Exactly. And if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, we just want to say that a couple of dollars a month is genuinely what keeps these going.

Now back to the classroom. Let's start with the most basic item. A book. Luna: A book. I know that one. 책. Lucas: Right. 책. Say it with me. 책. Luna: 책. Lucas: Good. Now a pen. 펜. Luna: 펜. That sounds like the English word 'pen'. Lucas: It does. It's a loanword. So easy to remember. Now let's put them in a simple sentence. I have a book. 저는 책이 있어요. Luna: 저는 책이 있어요. Lucas: Great. And I have a pen. 저는 펜이 있어요. Luna: 저는 펜이 있어요. So the pattern is the same. 저는, then the object, then 있어요. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's talk about furniture. A desk. 책상. Luna: 책상. Does that literally mean 'book table'? Lucas: Good observation. 책 means book, 상 means table. So desk is book table. And a chair. 의자. Luna: 의자. That's a new one. Lucas: Let's practice. Where is the desk? 책상이 어디에 있어요? Luna: 책상이 어디에 있어요? Lucas: And an answer. The desk is here. 책상이 여기에 있어요. Luna: 책상이 여기에 있어요. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's learn the people in the classroom. Teacher. 선생님. Luna: 선생님. I've heard that before. It's respectful. Lucas: Yes, 님 is a honorific suffix. And student. 학생. Luna: 학생. So teacher is 선생님 and student is 학생. Lucas: Let's put them together. The teacher has a book. 선생님이 책이 있어요. Luna: 선생님이 책이 있어요. Lucas: And the student has a pen. 학생이 펜이 있어요. Luna: 학생이 펜이 있어요. Lucas: Awesome. Now let's do a quick review. I'll say the English, you say the Korean. Book. Luna: 책. Lucas: Pen. Luna: 펜. Lucas: Desk. Luna: 책상. Lucas: Chair. Luna: 의자. Lucas: Teacher. Luna: 선생님. Lucas: Student. Luna: 학생. Lucas: You nailed it. Now let me ask you a question. What do you have in your bag? 가방에 뭐가 있어요? Luna: 가방에 책이랑 펜이 있어요. I have a book and a pen in my bag. Lucas: Perfect sentence. So today we learned six new words. 책, 펜, 책상, 의자, 선생님, 학생. Luna: And we practiced sentences with 있어요. That was really practical. Lucas: Keep practicing these, and next time we'll build on them. Thanks for learning with Fexingo. Luna: See you next time. Bye!
