Again, I woke up at 6 a.m. Finding nothing much to do, I surfed the net. Decided to see if there is a course to learn Korean.
I found this site: Learn Korean. In this site, I can learn han-guk characters. Some words and sentence structures. As there is no pronunciation, I just have to figure them out.
However, I can confirm some sounds of certain words.
chogi issoyo means "it exist over there", or "its over there"
Issoyo on its own can mean "I have/he has"
Opsoyo means "I dont have" or "I havent got"
When addressing a shop keeper or waiters, Koreans use ajossi literally meaning uncle, but is used as a general word when addressing someone in a shop.However if it were to be used in a formal way, it is only for the referral of a man.
For females the word ajumma meaning aunt is used, for people over 35-ish, and for younger woman agassi is used for young women.
Ottaeyo means is how
Kuraeyo literally means "it is like that"
Shillye Hamnida means excuse me.
Shillye Jima means I am sorry but...
Anieyo: Not
Kidariseyo: Please wait

Arirang TV Video on Demand
I found this Arirang TV VOD. I can learn Korean from one of the VODs, Let's Speak Korean. It is so cool.
Dae-in Man Dai Yo means Let's meet tomorrow.
Or jiea (sounds like orchard but chard is replaced with jiea) means yesterday.
O-ner (sounds like owner) means today.
Dae-in pah yo means See you tomorrow.
Ah neo in ka sayo means Please go in peace. Used when you say goodbye to people who are leaving.
Ah neo in kei sayo used when you are leaving the place.
Interesting.
Very good lessons.
