《Let's Learn Korean [Compilation]》LEVEL 1• LESSON 4- I'm Sorry
Advertisement
After listening to this lesson, you will be able to say "I am sorry" or "I apologize" and you will also be able to get someone's attention when you want to say something to them or order something in a restaurant.
. [joe-song-hap-mi-da]
Do you remember how to say "Thank you" in Korean? It is 감사합니다. [gam-sa-ham-ni-da]
If you also remember that 감사합니다 is basically 감사 ("appreciation" or "thankfulness") plus 합 니다 ("I do"), you can assume that 죄송합니다 is also 죄송 plus 합니다.
[joe-song] means "apology", "being sorry" or "feeling ashamed", and [hap-ni- da] means "I do", so [joe-song-hap-ni-da] means "I am sorry." or "I apologize."
is NOT always "I'm sorry".
Even though 죄송합니다 [joe-song-hap-ni-da] is BASICALLY "I'm sorry", you can't use 죄송합니 다 when you want to say "I am sorry to hear that."
Many Korean people actually get confused when they talk about some bad news to their Eng- lish-speaking friends and hear "I'm sorry" from them.
If you say "I'm sorry." after you hear a piece of bad news from your Korean friend, he or she might say "Why are YOU apologizing for that?" to you.
This is because ONLY means "I apologize.", "It was my bad.", "Excuse me." or "I shouldn't have done that." It can never mean "I'm sorry to hear that."
In English, you can use the expression "Excuse me." in all of the following situations.
1) when you are passing through a crowd of people
2) when you are leaving the room for a second
3) when you want to get someone's attention and talk to them or let them know something
4) when you want to call the waiter in a restaurant or a cafe to order something
[jeo-gi-yo] is an expression that can be translated to "Excuse me" but this Korean expression, 저기요 is ONLY used for situation number 3 and 4 above.
You can say:
. [ jam-si-man-yo] (literal meaning: "Just a second.")
. [ joe-song-ham-ni-da] (literal meaning: "I am sorry.")
. [ jam-kkan-man-yo] (literal meaning: "Just a second.")
** Yes, "jamsimanyo" and "jamkkanmanyo" are the same thing.
These are the most commonly used expressions. You don't have to memorize them right now, but they are just good to know!

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

STEM: The Topical Dungeon
Inspired by CORE: The Volcanic Dungeon by Ace Arriande and a spiritual successor to my writing prompt series Evolution Barricade, STEM is a series following the reincarnation of Kaden into the fantasy world of Brogdar. Reborn as a "DM" and a plant, Kaden tackles the challenges of being the agent of the chaotic god: trying to be his very own dungeon master. However, unlike other stories, Kaden is often making fun of and dealing with disadvantages that the normal reincarnated hero would never have to worry about. A parody of the normal tropes of isekai, STEM is a periodic series that is intended to release a minimum of once per week. There may be times where there is more than one drop, but those would be special occasions. Additionally, the content tags are simply to try and ensure my readers know these stories can encompass a large variety of things. They may not immediately be in focus, but they will all end up appearing!
