Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and as always, I'm here with Luna. Luna: Hey everyone! Episode 195 — can you believe it? We've come a long way. Lucas: We really have. And today we're diving into a feeling we all know well: confusion. Luna: Oh yes. Like when someone gives you directions in Korean and you just nod but inside you're totally lost. Lucas: Exactly. So let's learn how to say 'I'm confused.' The phrase is: 헷갈려요. Luna: 헷갈려요. Hmm, did I get that right? 헷갈려요. Lucas: That's perfect, Luna. 헷갈려요. You can use it when things are mixed up in your head. Luna: So if I'm looking at a menu with too many choices, I can say 헷갈려요. Lucas: Yes! Try it with me: 헷갈려요. Luna: 헷갈려요. Lucas: Great. Now another useful one: '확실하지 않아요' — that means 'I'm not sure.' Luna: 확실하지 않아요. That's a mouthful. 확실하지 않아요. Lucas: You've got it. 확실하지 않아요. Use this when you're uncertain about something. Luna: Like if someone asks what time the movie starts and I forgot — 확실하지 않아요. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's put them together. Imagine you're lost. Lucas: A stranger asks if you need help. You say: 헷갈려요. 확실하지 않아요. Luna: 헷갈려요. 확실하지 않아요. Lucas: Perfect. You know, speaking of being unsure — if Fexingo has been helping you feel more confident in Korean, we'd love your support.

Lucas: Alright, back to it. Another phrase: '잘 모르겠어요' — 'I don't really know.' Luna: 잘 모르겠어요. That one feels softer. 잘 모르겠어요. Lucas: Right. It's polite and common. Use it when you're not fully sure. Luna: 잘 모르겠어요. So if someone asks about a topic I'm not familiar with, I can say this. Lucas: Yes. And finally, a longer one: '어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요' — 'I don't know what to do.' Luna: Wow, that's a whole sentence. 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요. Lucas: You said it perfectly. 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요. Break it down: 어떻게 — how, 해야 하다 — to have to do, 할지 — whether to do, 모르겠어요 — don't know. Luna: 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요. That'll be handy when I'm staring at a vending machine with no English. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice all four together. Repeat after me: 헷갈려요. Luna: 헷갈려요. Lucas: 확실하지 않아요. Luna: 확실하지 않아요. Lucas: 잘 모르겠어요. Luna: 잘 모르겠어요. Lucas: 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요. Luna: 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요. Lucas: Wonderful. Now let's do a quick scene. Luna, you're at a bus stop and the sign is confusing. Luna: Okay. 헷갈려요. 확실하지 않아요. 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요. Lucas: Perfect. You covered all bases. Remember, it's okay to be confused — just use these phrases to let people know. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. I feel a little more prepared now. Lucas: That's what we're here for. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Korean with Fexingo. Luna: Bye everyone! 화이팅!
