Glossary

Through 『Korean Sentences That Get Longer』, learners can practice making simple, basic sentences into longer sentences through four steps: Add (adding words to sentences), Modify (modifying nouns), Combine (combining with connective endings), and Change (changing sentence forms).
These exercises will help you understand Korean sentence structure and learn to create longer sentences with ease.

Additionally, in the [Conversation Practice] that follows [Extended Practice], you can practice repeatedly saying the sentences you created earlier.
Since the sentences in the book are all about everyday things like washing your face, brushing your teeth, sleeping in, and catching a cold, learners can easily use the sentences they practice in this book in real-life conversations.

Before you begin practicing sentence expansion in earnest, the basic grammar you need to know is organized in the [Korean Language Basics] section at the beginning, and the meanings of all words used in the example sentences can be found in the [Glossary] at the end.
Audio files recorded in Korean are available for free download from the TalkToMeInKorean.com website.

Build & Extend Your Korean Sentences provides diverse missions from “Add(Adding words into a sentence)”, “Modify(Modifying a noun)”, “Combine(Combining sentences with linking verb-endings)” to “Change(Changing sentence structures)” and challenges learners to make progressively longer Korean sentences based on simple, basic sentences.
These practices help learners to have a good understanding of Korean sentence structures and help them to get the hang of making longer sentences.

In “Conversation Practice” followed by “Sentence Extension Practice”, learners can repeatedly practice speaking the sentences they have built in the previous chapter.
As the sentences are about everyday activities such as washing your face, brushing your teeth, waking up late and catching a cold, learners can easily use the learned sentences in real-life situations.

The basic grammar points that are essential for sentence building practice are introduced in the “Korean Language Basics” section in the beginning portion of this book.
In “Glossary”, all the words used in the example sentences are listed along with their meanings.
You can download audio files of native Korean speakers enunciating each sentence at talktomeinkorean.com.
