Lesson 10
In this series, we focus on how you can use the grammatical rules and expressions that you have learned previously to train yourself to comfortably make Korean sentences.
We will start off with THREE key sentences and practice changing different parts of these sentences so that you do not end up simply memorizing the same three sentences. We want you to be able to make Korean sentences as flexibly as possible.
