Household Terms
If you have completed lessons 1-5, you are now ready to start learning household terms. It is mainly a bunch of vocabulary words...I know, that doesn't sound fun, but it's part of the language! One of the hardest things about learning any language is just building a large enough vocabulary.
Luckily for you, this lesson will be full of items commonly found around the house. You will see them frequently, so whenever you do, think of the Korean word, not the English word. This is the best way to learn all the household terms. Plus, you will begin to build the foundation of your vocabulary with common items and tasks. You will get used to the structure of sentences and the language, and can practice while you walk around at home! It'll be a breeze :)
