Posting this on here because I know @ShaMyouiMo can relate: parents just don't like knowing that you are really miserable, do they?

OK class, I have a proposal to write at my day job so we will take this slow, but we can't let globe-rotting @SuitedUpDev get too far ahead.
In
https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit1/unit-1-lessons-1-8/unit-1-lesson-3/
we start learning systematic rules about Korean verbs and adjectives. First is reminder that verbs and adjectives go at the end of the sentence. Unlike in English, Korean sentences do not *need* a verb, an adjective will do as they contain the sense of "being" that English conveys by include the verb "to be". When an adjective is used, it does not take an object, but describes the subject (which takes the ~는 particle).
The sections on verbs/adjectives will be enough for this week.
For homework, write six sentences: 3 with verbs, three with adjectives.
OK, class this week we should do the meat of the lesson in
https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit1/unit-1-lessons-1-8/unit-1-lesson-2
We have a new particle, ~이/가, which lack the connotation of ~는/은, indicating a contrast with something else. It is also used to indicate a sense of place with the verb 있다 and the particle ~에 on the object to indicate being "at" or going to a time or place. 있다 also means "to have" when ~이/가 is used on the *object*. Whew!
It's been a tough week for 선생님, and I know a few of you as well.
This week, just copy out the vocabulary words from the lessons we have had:

Meet-up planning thread will be posted later this week.
Alright, class,
@momo
@SuitedUpDev
@dwarf
@ShaMyouiMo
@kpopncommunism
@sakurako , for this weekend's assignment write three sentences in Korean. They can be as short and simple as you like. Try to use the particles etc. you learned in this week's lesson (https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit1/unit-1-lessons-1-8/unit-1-lesson-1/). The sentences should not be ones that appear on the lesson page.
Reply to his post with questions, comments, and your sentences. Have a fun weekend!

I am going to modify the assignment since the names are so regular.
All the vowels are just ㅇ+ the vowel. ㅐ&ㅔ are just ㅏ or ㅓ+ㅣ. There is no sense in writing those a bunch of times.
All consonants but three (ㅅ,ㄱ,ㄷ) follow the same patrern. To use ㅁ as an example: 미음.
The double consonants just have 쌍 (not to be confused with 짱, the first syllable of the noodle dish) meaning "double" or "twin" in front of them.
If this assignment seems useful to you, write three regular consonants, three double ones, and the three irregular ones three times. I trust you all with the vowels.
More regular progress should pick back up soon.

Firstly, want to sincerely thank those of you who came to my birthday lesson
🎉🎊감사합니다!!🎊🎉
I had a ton of fun and learned a lot! One of the things I learned is that it would be a lot easier to talk about these things if we knew the names of the "letters" in Hangul. (Oh, and Webex can eat shit. I learned that too.)
So, class, the lesson i want you to study this week is here:
https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit0/letter-names/?amp
Your assignment is to go back to your list of idols names and write out what all the "letters" in their name are called.
In less-uplifting news, as much as *I* enjoyed your singing, I guess my laptop got so much second-hand embarrassment that it took a dive off the counter (everyone's a critic 🙄). The drives are fine, but everyone will have to wait until my new one arrives to see the little meet-up teaser we recorded.
💪화이팅 ‼️

Oh yeah, this thing
Minzy -- 민지 💪
Sana -- 사나
Mina -- 미나
Momo -- 모모
Jihyo -- 니효 🤩
Jeongyeon -- 졍연 ❤️
Dahyun -- 다현
Chaeyeong (or -young) -- 채영
Nayeon -- 너연
Tzuyu -- 쯔위 ☺️
You guys have been doing so well with your Hangul that I think we can skip over unit 0, lesson 2 and go straight to lesson 3.
https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit0/unit-0-lesson-3/
This is about dipthongs and double letters, which will wind up being very confusing if do not cover them specifically.
It also makes it clear that "ㅐ" and "ㅔ" are both pronounced the same. That is why the first syllable of Chaeyoung's name (채) and the word for "yes" (네) both rhyme with "way" or "weigh" in English.
Please review the lesson and do the exercises linked therein.
Bonus Tidbits
--------------------------------
The name 쯔위 (💖 !) has a double letter in it's first syllable and a dipthong in its second in an attempt to transliterate her name from Chinese.
The consonants ㅅ,ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅌ,ㅎ, and ㅆ appear as the last consonant in a syllable (as in 맛있는 = "delicious"), they are pronounced "ㄷ"
"ㄸ", "ㅃ", and "ㅉ" are never used as final consonants.
Well, I have my computer more-or-less functioning again. However, along with many happy memories, I have brought a cold back from my trip. I will look at your idol list and prepare another lesson over the course of this week. It also time to organize our first (online) meetup! Expect some planning posts soon.
But, to keep your appetites up, I will share this tidbit I came across while filling some shocking gaps in my TWICE library.
According to whoever did this annotation to the lyrics of The TWICE Song, the ending "-지" (as begins "지효") can be used as a verb suffix to mean "*verb*, right?" Which our girls turn into a very witty piece of wordplay.
Just think: if we keep working at this, entire new kinds of puns will be available to us.

Those vowels romanized as dipthongs really really aren't. "ㅓ" is way more like the "o" in "son" as I say it than I would say "eo."
As I should have expected, recovering from this hard drive crash is taking longer than expected...
Everyone do your list of idols without looking them up (@momo, I have yours already) and discuss in the review thread. I will check back in on Sunday.
죄송합니다, class...
Bad news, class: you teacher's hard drive died last night. The lesson post for this week will be delayed by a few days.
Until then, help each other learn in the review thread!
End-of-week review!
I want to begin by saying to everyone:
고생하셨습니다!
I am very pleased with all of your hard work!
@dwarf , will you be handing in more of the assignment? I will be happy to look at it in the next day or so.
At this point, you should all be able to sound out/write down words in Hangul, provided there are no tricks (e.g. a "ㅆ" at the end of syllable being pronounced like "ㄷ"). I think this is marvelous progress!
Please reply to this post with something you learned or observed about Korean while doing this weeks lessons/assignments and/or a question you still have about Korean. Please do not be shy about discussing these with your classmates!
