LK1403 speaking 2

Lesson 2

Topic: Nationalities

• The main focus is to learn how to ask and say nationalities in Korean.

Speaking Practice

1. Listen and Repeat

   • Use the recordings to practice pronunciation.

   • Repeat phrases slowly and then more fluently.

2. Understand Vocabulary

   • Check meanings of words/sentences before speaking.

3. Natural Speaking

   • Use emotions and gestures, avoid long pauses.

4. Fill Pauses

   • Use filler words like "um," "ah," or "uh."

5. Conversation Structure

   • Be mindful of the opening, body, and closing parts of conversations.

Vocabulary Introduction

• The phrase "어느 나라 사람입니까?" translates to "Where are you from?"

  • Korean breakdown: 어느 (which) 나라 (country) 사람 (person) 입니까 (to be - question).

Learning Objectives

• Say nationalities and ask about them.

• Conduct self-introductions in conversations.

Formal vs. Informal Expressions

• 어느 나라 사람입니까? (formal)

• 어느 나라 사람이에요? (informal)

  • Both phrases mean the same but are used in different contexts.

Formulating Questions

• Example: 하피자는 대학생입니까? (Is Hafizah a university student?)

  • Change -입니다 to -입니까 for questions.

  • Structure: Noun-입니까? (Are you...?)

Practice Questions

• Examples:

  • 대학생입니까? (Are you a university student?)

  • 한국 사람입니까? (Are you Korean?)

  • 브루나이 사람입니까? (Are you Bruneian?)

  • 하피자는 대학생입니까? (Is Hafizah a university student?)

Needing Consideration in Questions

• To ask personal questions cautiously, use: 저, 혹시 학생입니까? (Um, are you a student?)

  • This shows hesitation and consideration.

Asking Nationality

• When unsure about someone’s nationality, prefer to ask: "어느 나라 사람입니까?"

  • For example, if you guess someone's nationality, ask: "한국 사람입니까?"

Word Order in Korean

• Korean word order differs from Malay. The structure aligns with: "Mana – negara – orang – adalah?"

  • Remember this structure when forming sentences.

Learning Country Names

• Countries in Korean:

  • Canada (캐나다)

  • France (프랑스)

  • USA (미국)

  • Germany (독일)

  • China (중국)

  • Japan (일본)

  • Use syllable breakdown to pronounce correctly.

Topic Markers in Korean

• The particles -은/는 indicate the topic of the conversation.

  • Use -은 after a word with consonants (batchim) and -는 after a vowel sound.

  • Example: "아말은 대학생입니다." (Amal is a university student).

Introducing Others

• Structure to introduce a partner:

  • 제 친구 [Name]입니다. (This is my friend [Name].)

  • Include their major or status (e.g., university student).

Conversations

• Basic conversation structure:

  1. Saying Hello

  2. Stating Names

  3. Asking Nationalities

  4. Saying Nice to Meet You

• E.g.,

  • 윤: 안녕하세요?

  • 하: 안녕하세요?

  • 윤: 저는 윤민지입니다. (I am Yoon Minji.)

  • 하: 저는 하피자입니다. (I am Hafizah.)

  • 윤: 어느 나라 사람입니까? (Where are you from?)

• The respectful form of address is 씨 after names.

Wrap Up

• Final check for understanding:

  • Asking using -입니까 and 저 혹시 ....?

  • Asking about nationality.

  • Introducing family or friends using pictures.

Closing Statements

• "수고했습니다." (Well done.)

• "안녕히 계십시오." (Goodbye.)

• "수업 시간에 봅시다." (See you in class.)

Podcast Introduction

• 하피자의 1분 팟캐스트: "여러분, 안녕하세요? 저는 브루나이 사람입니다. 여러분은 어느 나라 사람입니까? 댓글로 남겨 주세요." (Hello everyone, I am Bruneian. What is your nationality? Please leave a comment.)
