A ﬁnal word from the author

Dear reader Hi! I’m Vlad and I’m extremely excited that YOU decided to have a look at what I have created as my Personal Project. What you are holding is a 10 month long effort of studying, memorizing, designing, drawing, organising and producing. To be more elaborate -‐ before starting this booklet, I studied Korean for 10 months and have taken an exam called TOPIK (Test Of ProMiciency In Korean). I passed the Beginner level test and used the knowledge I had acquired earlier in the studying period to create this booklet. All the images present in this booklet have been iPad drawn by me. So you could say that this booklet has been entirely “handmade”. The information in the booklet has been checked and improved by Korean language bearers. By the end of the 10 month period, I had hoped to achieve a goal. In Shanghai Singapore International School, about 40-‐50% of the students are from South Korea. For “People Like Me”, foreigners, that are strangers to the Korean language, but that Mind the language to be enchanting, wished to Mind a way to be part of the Korean students’ daily conversations. That one goal – to break (or to attempt to break) the language barrier between Korean and International students. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could come into your class in the morning and be able to say, ” Hey, how you doing?” to a Korean friend? If you ever did think of wanting to (slightly) understand Korean, you have chosen the right person to come to. My booklet will give you insight on the most basic things that would be nice to start a conversation on. Flip the page and good luck!

How to use this booklet: The sentence is given in Korean, with a translation underneath it and a transcription* in English. 1. 2. 3. 4.

In the “Story” section, read the English sentence. Read the transcription for the Korean sentence to yourself. Read the transcription out loud a few times. The words with emphasis (or written in bold) are for “new vocabulary” and the words with a straight underline are “terms to know”. 5. The high superscripts near each underlined words are footnotes. So if you see _ _ _1, look for number 1. in either the “new vocabulary” or “Terms to know”. 6. After reading the “Story”, read the “Good phrases” 7. The phrases listed on each page are very useful in everyday life so try to remember them as you read the booklet. Some of the phrases might not be found in the text. 8. When you get to the “New vocabulary” section, there might be a few types of vocabulary: a) Either there will be a single word from the text, b) or the word from the text + extended words that could Uit into the text as substitutes for that single word, c) or the word from the text + words that could be antonyms of the word, d) or the word form the text + words that are somehow relevant to the word and are good to know, but have nothing to do with the text. 9. In the “Terms to know” section, a word from the text is given that is related to a major category. For example, burger à Food, watching movies à Hobbies, and so on. Each page includes about 1-‐2 major categories. Each category name is written in Italics. 10.Right after the word from the text come words that are relevant to the category and that would be nice to have in your Korean word arsenal. 11.Then comes the “Cultural extra” section. In this section you will learn things from Korean culture or just the basic interaction etiquette. 12.MOST IMPORTANTLY, Practice the phrases that you learn through this booklet with a Korean native speaker. * -‐ Korean romanization for all transcriptions present in this publication has been used

according to The National Institute Of The Korean Language. However, some of the transcriptions have been modiMied to make their pronounciation much the same as to what they actually sound like.

About the Characters

Jim 짐 [jim]

Yoon Yuh Joon 윤여준 [yun yeo jun]

Ella 엘라 [el la]

Situations between characters in the booklet: 1. Jim doesn’t know Yuh Joon very well, so they talk formally. 2. Jim’s best friend is Ella, so they talk informally. 3.Yuh Joon meets Ella and since they are strangers they talk formally. As they get to know each other better, they start to speak informally. However, Ella still uses formal language because Yuh Joon is older than her.

How all of us start off... Hi. My name is Yoon Yuh Joon. What’s yours?

Cultural Extraà Here you can see that Yuh Joon is a boy who is older than Ella. In this case, Ella would have to call Yuh Joon, if directly translated, as her “older brother”. A younger male would use hyeung (형), while a younger female would use o ppa (오빠) to address an older male. Both words mean “older brother”. The female equivalents are eon ni (언니),

which is what a younger female would call an “older sister”, and nu na (누나), which is what a younger male would use. These terms are also used amongst family members.

Cultural Extraà Korean food is a must try! I have listed only a few foods, but that doesn’t mean that the Korean cuisine is limited to those dishes. Go to a Korean restaurant, practice ordering and try any dish that you are engrossed by. My personal favorite is don kka seu. If you ever can’t decide where you want to go for lunch or dinner, go Korean! Family is important to everybody and everywhere. When people from some countries say that the most important thing in their culture is family, I don’t think that can be specialty, all cultures should cherish family. Families usually consist of 4 people: the parents, a son and a daughter, but of course there are other alternatives as well. On New Year’s day, the Mirst day of the Mirst lunar month of the year, families dress up in traditional clothes and one of the traditions is for the younger members to honor/ show respect to their elders by bowing to them and giving them wishes for the new year.

Korea has its own culture of music, dance and Milmmaking. Songs like “Gangnam style” are known throughout the world, the “horse dance” is learnt by kids as young as 2 years old. The TV shows and movies are watched and enjoyed by people of all nationalities. If you start to like K-‐pop or Korean drama, it becomes like your “second life”, you will want more and more. But of course, like everything else in this world, it’s a matter of opinion – you can either like it or not.

Cultural Extraà If you are a Korean and you want to get into a Korean university, study hard, really hard. Competition is very tough there so you have to excel at all subjects. That doesn’t mean that all you do everyday is study, you should do sports and other activities. A weekday activity that is “popular” amongst students is going to academies. They spend long and tiresome hours studying various subjects, so that they would be more knowledgeable.

The two major sports in Korea are soccer and baseball. But only soccer will be covered, because many students enjoy that sport in SSIS. It is more international in our environment than baseball. If people like “you and me” are fans of playing soccer but are also interested in Minding out how to say things like “pass!” or “that was not a foul!”, read on. By the end, you will be able to pronounce some soccer-‐related phrases and hopefully use the terms in game situations (especially if the opposing team doesn’t know Korean).

I Would Really Like To Thank -My parents for always being there for me, giving me new ideas and support in everything I have done throughout the project. -Ms. Soo Jung Lee who has supervised the creation process and helped me to achieve perfection in the grammar, spelling and vocabulary in Korean. -Elizabeth Kim, Denise Park and Byeong Joo Park for helping me in everything I had questions with regarding to the language and teaching me.

Well, I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it... I hope that by reading my project, you have learnt more Korean phrases and words. If you find any mistakes in my grammar or spelling, please do tell me. I apologize, but I am not a native speaker and I do not know the language to its fullest.

Have fun with everything you learn from this project! and Good luck
