San Francisco Korean Language and Culture

This Meetup is for beginner-level Korean learners who already know how to read the Korean alphabet.

If you already have a basic understanding of Korean and would like to focus more on speaking fluently and expressing yourself naturally, please sign up for the Intermediate-Level class instead.
In our last session, we learned how to form the past tense in Korean. To help you review, here is a simple summary of the Korean past tense forms.

In Korean, the past tense is usually made by adding:
–았어요 (used when the last vowel of the verb stem is 아 or 오)
–었어요 (used with all other verb stems)
–했어요 (used with all verbs that end in 하다)

Examples:
저는 집에 갔어요.
→ I went home.
저는 커피를 마셨어요.
→ I drank coffee.
저는 어제 공부를 했어요.
→ I studied yesterday.

For the Intermediate Level, please RSVP separately for that class. We have opened another Intermediate Korean class on Meetup.

See you all!
