LETTER TO THE STUDENTS
Dear Students,
Welcome to PC 10- Foreign Language 2. My name is
Dr. Judith B. Cordero and I am your instructor in this course
that will provide learning materials for this subject, and guide
you for the new type of learning system.
In light of the Covid-19 pandemic and in a departure
from previous academic year the college had to implement the hybrid teaching
approach for the academic year 2020-2021.
This module is a complete guide to learn the language, starting from
the very beginning, and learn the alphabet and the correct sounds of vowels,
consonants, and diphthongs. It was written for people who want an easy but
systematic approach to the language.
This course will have regular weekly assignments and requirements
needed in this subject. Each of you must manage your time to know when
homework and other course obligations are due.
It involves:
regular logging into Google classroom to check discussion forums and
communications
Monitoring your campus Gmail
Virtually interacting with classmates, instructors
and course materials.
At this point, I suggest the following actions:
Log into Google Classroom and begin to familiarize with the blended
learning system
Make sure you’ve confirmed your Gmail address so you can receive
messages, announcements and materials to be used in this course
Check out your Calendar assignments due dates
Read through the syllabus so you know the rhythm of course and what
is expected
As you get started, I am happy to answer any questions that may arise.
Please post your specific questions about the class, and looking forward to
working with you this semester and getting off to a strong start,

the term in this book); in North Korea, where it is
called Joseongeul (조선글); and also, by overseas
Korean communities, mostly in China and the United States.
Desired Learning Outcomes:
1. Read and comprehend texts of an intermediate high level in
simplified characters.
2. Write at an intermediate high level of proficiency.

Lesson I. KOREAN ALPHABET
The alphabet had twenty-eight main
letters, which over time have been reduced to
twenty-four. Eight are considered basic sounds,
and from these derive all the other consonants
and vowels. We must first distinguish between:
1 the five basic consonants [ㄱ, ㄴ,ㅁ,ㅅ,ㅇ]
from which derive the fourteen simple
consonants, 2 three basic vowels [ ·, ㅣ, ㅡ] from which derive the first ten,
simple, or iotized, vowels.
From the fourteen simple consonants (ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅋ,
ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅎ) are derived in turn five double consonants (ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ) and
eleven complex combinations (ㄳ, ㄵ, ㄶ, ㄺ, ㄼ, ㄻ, ㄽ, ㄿ, ㄾ , ㅀ, ㅄ). The
ten simple vowels (ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ, ㅡ, ㅣ) are followed by four
complex vowels (ㅐ,ㅒ, ㅔ, ㅖ) and seven diphthongs (ㅘ, ㅙ, ㅚ, ㅝ, ㅞ, ㅟ,
ㅢ).
1. fourteen simple consonants
ㄱ ㄴ ㅅ ㅁ ㅇ

4. ten simple vowels
ㅏ /a/ (as in father) ㅕ /yeo/ (as in yonder)
ㅓ /eo/ (as in uh-oh) ㅛ /yo/ (as in yoga)
ㅗ /o/ (as in home) ㅠ /yu/ ( as in you)
ㅜ /u ( as in boot) ㅣ /i/ ( as in feet)
ㅡ /eu/ (as in pull)
ㅑ /ya/ (as in yard)
5. four complex vowels
ㅐ /ae ㅔ /e/ ㅒ /yae/ ㅖ /ye/
6. seven diphthongs
ㅙ /wae/ ( as in wait)
ㅘ /wa/ ( as in wine)
ㅝ /wo/ ( as in wonder)
ㅢ /ui/ ( as in pull, followed by ee as in feet, but said quickly as one sound)
ㅚ /oe/ ( as in wet)
ㅞ /we/ ( as in when)

Lesson 2- WRITING HAN- GEUL
It is important to learn correct stroke orders
from the beginning. Let’s begin with two
general principles of Korean writing.
➢ Stroke Orders
1. Everything horizontal moves from left to right. This applies to the
movement of individual strokes, as well as to writing a sequence of
letters (e.g., the consonant first, then the vowel).
2. Everything vertical moves from top to bottom.
➢ How to combine consonant with vowel
Any written syllable must begin with consonant sign. This means
that even when the syllable contains no spoken consonants
(I.e., when it begins with a vowel in pronunciation), you still have
to start the syllable with the little circle “ㅇ” representing a zero
consonant.
A vowel letter is placed to the right,
or below the initial consonant,
possible patterns therefore,
are as follows;
The final consonant of a syllable (if it has one) is placed directly below
the preceding consonant and vowel, regardless of how they are
arranged whether horizontally or vertically.
➢ A block forming a syllable with three letters (c-v-s) will naturally be
more congested than a block with two letters (c-v). However, each
syllable (or block) should be approximately of the same size,
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE 2
15
regardless of the number of letters contained in it. It is, therefore,
necessary to make the size of the letters smaller when a syllable
contains three or four letters, as you can see in the examples. Those
syllables with four signs in them will have the shape.
➢ Korean writing is conceived in blocks representing syllables, each
composed of an initial consonant, a (medial) vowel or a diphthong, and
finally an ending composed of one or two consonants known as
batchim.

16
Lesson 3- STRUCTURE OF WRITTEN SYLLABUS
These notes concern the written structure
of syllabus, that is how syllables are recorded
and dealth with in the writing system, not how
they are pronounced.
➢ The syllables are divided into 5 forms:
One-vowel syllable:
아이 [ai] — child
Explanation:
The syllable 아 consists of the consonant ㅇ and the vowel ㅏ. The
consonant ㅇ is not pronounced at the beginning of a syllable.
Therefore, the syllable 아 is considered a one-vowel syllable.
The syllable 이 consists the consonant ㅇ and the vowel ㅣ.
The consonant ㅇ is not pronounced at the beginning of a
syllable. Therefore, the syllable 이 is considered a one-vowel syllable.
The one-vowel-and-one-consonant syllable
일 [il] – work
Explanation:
The syllable 일 consists of the consonant ㅇ is not pronounced at the
beginning of a syllable. Therefore, the syllable 일 is considered a one-
vowel-and-one-consonant syllable.
The one-consonant-and-one-vowel syllable
나무 [namu] — tree; wood
Explanation:
The syllable 나 consists of the consonant ㄴand the vowel ㅏ.
The syllable 무 consists of the consonant ㅁ and the vowel ㅜ.
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE 2
17
The syllable consisting of one consonant, one vowel and one consonant
물 [mul] — water
Explanation:
The syllable 물 consists of consonant ㅁ, the vowel ㅜ and the
consonant ㄹ.
The syllable consisting of one consonant, one vowel and a double consonant
값 [kap] — price
Explanation:
The syllable 값 consists of the consonant ㄱ, the vowel ㅏ and the
double consonant: ㅂㅅ

Lesson 5 – BASIC KOREAN PHRASES
The Basic Korean Phrases and the Korean
Phrases for Meeting and Greeting will lead you to
the Korean Dialog at the end, which shows how
these survival phrases are used in conversational
Korean.
➢ Basic Korean Phrases
neh. Yes.
ah-nee-oh. No.
jwe-song-ha-ji-mahn. Please.
gahm-sah-hahm-ni-da. Thank you.
chon-mahn-eh-yo. You're welcome.
sil-le-hahm-ni-da. Excuse me.
ahn-nyong-ha-se-yo. Good morning.
ahn-nyong-hee ga-se-yo. Good-bye.
안녕하세요 – An-nyeong-ha-se-yo. – Hello.
Although straightforward, this expression is a necessary
inclusion and is without doubt the most common phrase
anyone in Korea will use.
반갑습니다 – Ban-gap-sum-ni-da. – Nice to meet you.
Just like its English equivalent, this expression should be used
whenever you find yourself suddenly introduced to a new face. In
formal settings, this expression is usually accompanied by a bow
and a handshake to show respect.
감사합니다 – Kam-sa-ham-ni-da. – Thank you.
This is probably the most important expression to learn during your
Korean travels. Use it exactly as you would its English equivalent.
밥 먹었어요? – Bap meo-geo-seo-yo? – How are you?
This phrase is used to show your concern for someone’s well-
being.
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE 2
23
잠시만요 – Jam-shi-man-yo. – Excuse me. /Just a
moment.
Literally, “little time stop”, use this to get the attention of others, ask
them to move out of the way or tell them to wait.
최성합니다/미안합니다 – Chway-seong-ham-ni-da. /Mi-
an-ham-ni-da. – I’m sorry.
There are two ways to be apologetic in Korean.
주세요 – … ju-se-yo – Please (Please give me…)
Slap this word on the end of just about any verb stem to make a
polite request. Got a sudden food craving? Bibimbap, ju-se-yo!
Thirsty? Kaw-pi (coffee), ju-se-yo! In need of some loving? Bbo bbo
(kiss), ju-se-yo!
어디예요 – Eo-di-ye-yo…? – Where is the…?
Unless you’re a hermit, chances are you will definitely use this
phrase at some point, at the very least to find the hwajangsil
(bathroom). You can also use it to locate an item at the supermarket,
find the nearest subway station, or to track down a good noraebang
(karaoke room).
얼마예요 – Eol-ma-ye-yo? – How much is it?
A must-know for any shopping trip, this phrase is pretty much all you
need, since most vendors have calculators on hand to help out with
the numbers. Browsing a traditional market and want to bargain a
bit? Use the phrase bi-ssa-yo (It’s expensive) to see if you can’t get
the salesperson to go down a few hundred won.
많이 드세요 – Man-hee deu-se-yo – Have a great meal.
Similar to “Bon appetite”, this expression literally translates to “Eat a
lot”. Following the Korean War, food shortages were widespread
across the country. Therefore, this was a polite thing to say while
serving food to others.
잘 먹겠습니다 – Jal meok-ge-sseum-ni-da – I will eat
well.
If dining at a Korean’s home, or being treated to a meal by a Korean,
use this phrase before eating to show appreciation to your host. It’s
similar to saying “Thanks for your efforts. I’m going to have a great
meal because of you”.
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE 2
24
잘 먹었습니다 – Jal meo-geo-sseum-ni-da – The meal
was good.
If you haven’t noticed by now, table manners (not to mention food in
general) are pretty important in South Korea. Just as you said the
previous phrase before the meal, use this one following the meal to
once again thank your host for the food.
사랑해 – Sa-rang-hae – I love you.
This is the informal way of saying, “I love you” and is used between
people that are close, such as lovers, making it one of the most
commonly used expressions in Korean dramas. If someone says “I
love you” in Korean, then you can reply with “Na-do sa-rang-hae”,
which means “I love you, too”. To make it into a question (Do you
love me?), simply say it with a rising intonation (Sa-rang-hae?).
가세요 – Ga-se-yo – Go in peace.
When you directly translate this expression – “Please go” – it may
sound a bit harsh. But it is actually very polite and means that you
wish the other person a safe journey wherever he or she is going.
You can use this even if don’t know the destination of the person
you are saying it to.
화이팅 – Hwa-it-ting – You can do it!
While the word comes from the English term “fighting”, it’s more of a
cheer that Koreans use to show encouragement and enthusiasm. It
can also be used in sports, to cheer up someone who is having a
difficult time, or to wish a friend good luck on a blind date.

➢ Korean Vocabulary
Learning the Korean Vocabulary is very important because its structure is
used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer
to mastering the Korean language. But first we need to know what the role of
Vocabulary is in the structure of the grammar in Korean.
Korean vocabulary is the set of words you should be familiar with. A
vocabulary usually grows and evolves with age, and serves as a useful and
fundamental tool for communication and acquiring knowledge. Here are some
examples:

Unit 2- KOREAN GRAMMAR
The Korean language is spoken by more than 60 million people. It
belongs to the group of Altaic languages together with Japanese, Ainu, and
Mongolian, which were splitted one another several thousand years ago.
Syntactically, Korean shares some common characteristics with these Altaic
languages, while over 70% of its contemporary came from Chinese.
Desired learning outcomes:
1. Express themselves competently in a variety of oral situations.
2. Employ a variety of coping strategies to communicate orally and
verbally.

Lesson 1- KOREAN GRAMMAR
Korean is classified as an SOV language,
which stands for (Subject- Object- Verb) word
order. English on the other hand is an SVO
language. A subject is the one who acts. An
object is the one who receives the subject’s
action. For example: (English) Bob love Jenny.
Who loves Jenny? Bob does. Who is
loved by bob? Jenny is. In Korean this
sentence will be in the word order: (Korean) Bob Jenny loves.
습니다-ㅂ니다 grammar rule
➢ when the verb or adjective stem has the final consonant, ‘습니다’ is
used. (어간 이나 어미의 받침이 있으면 습니 다 를 사용해요). So, ‘읽다’
becomes ‘읽습니다’ and 먹다 becomes 먹습니다.
After removing 다 from 읽다, the final consonant is ㄱ. so 습니다 is
used. Likewise, after removing 다 from 먹다, the final consonant is ㄱ.
So, we have to use 습니다.
➢ when the verb or adjective stem has no final consonant, ‘ㅂ니다’ is
used. 반대로 어간 이나 어미의 받침이 없으면 ㅂ니다 를 사용해요. For
example 가다(GO) 오다(COME) 자다(SLEEP). All 3 verbs have no final
consonants after removing the ending 다. So, we have to use ㅂ니다.
가다 become 갑니다.
자다 becomes잡니다.
오다 becomes 옵니다.
➢ when the verb stem has final consonant ‘ㄹ,’ ‘ㅂ니다’ is used. This is
because of ㄹ irregular verb. Let’s see an example of this also –
만들다 means to make. After removing 다 from 만들다 there is a final
consonant ㄹ so according to rule if there is a final consonant, we have
to use 습니다. When ㄹ and ㅅ combine both disappear (See ㄹ 불규칙
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE 2
54
). After the disappearance of ㄹ only 만드 remains which has no final
consonant so we have to add ㅂ니다.
만들다 becomes 만듭니다.
The easiest way to remember final consonant ㄹ is that first, we have to
remove 다 and then ㄹ and add ㅂ니다 after the base verb.
밀다 – Remove 다 and ㄹ. 미 remains now add ㅂ니다 finally it becomes
밉니다.
➢ 습니다-ㅂ니다 Practice
Let’s practice with some example words. 이제 연습 한번 해볼게요. The
first word is 덥다(Hot). 연습 첫 번째 단어 덥다 입니다.
덥다 Hot
➢ Remove 다. Now, ㅂ is a final consonant. So, we have to add 습니다
the result is 덥습니다.
예쁘다 Beautiful
쁘 does not have a final consonant 받침.
➢ So, we have to add ㅂ니다 now it becomes 예쁩니다.
힘들다 Hard, tough
➢ 힘들다 has ㄹ final consonant 받침.
Now remove 다 and ㄹ. Now add ㅂ니다 it becomes 힘듭니다.
➢ Now let’s practice with past tense verbs. 이번에는 과거형 연습 합시다.
먹었다 Ate
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE 2
55
➢ After removing 다, the final consonant is ㅆ so we have to add
습니다. Now it becomes 먹었습니다. 뒤에 습니 다 를 붙여서
먹었습니다 가 돼요.
살았다 Lived
➢ Similarly, after removing 다, the final consonant is ㅆ so we have to
add 습니다. Now it becomes 살았습니다. 뒤에 습니 다 를 붙여서
살았습니다 가 돼요.
