Talk To Me In Korean Lesson of the Day #3

Level 4 Lesson 20:

This is the first in the series “Sentence Building Drill”. Through our previous lessons, you have learned
how to use and understand a lot of grammar points in the Korean language. In this series, we will be focusing on
how you can train yourself to make more Korean sentences more comfortably.
In this lesson, we will start off with THREE key sentences, and practice changing parts of these sentences so that
you don’t end up just memorizing the same three sentences. We want you to be able to be as flexible as possible
with the Korean sentences you can make.
Key sentence #1.

[o-neun-bu-teo han-gu-geo-reul deo yeol-si-mi gong-bu-hal geo-ye-yo.]

Key sentence #2.
아마 내일부터 일요일까지 비가 내릴 거예요.
[a-ma nae-il-bu-teo i-ryo-il-kka-ji bi-ga nae-ril geo-ye-yo.]

Key sentence #3.
