Welcome to Episode 13 of the Essential Korean Podcast! In this episode, we focus on two foundational Korean verbs: 있다 and 없다. These verbs are essential for expressing presence, absence, and possession in Korean.
🎯 What you'll learn in this episode:
The meaning and usage of 있다 ("to be present" / "to have")
The meaning and usage of 없다 ("to be absent" / "to not have")
How to use these verbs in sentences with five new nouns (non-loanwords)
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to confidently say what exists and doesn’t exist as well as what someone has and doesn’t have—all in Korean!
✨ Episode Structure:
1️⃣ Lesson with Speaking Practice: Step-by-step breakdown of each verb and example sentences
2️⃣ Mini Quiz for Review: Test and reinforce your understanding
Follow along with Teacher Kay as you repeat after her, answer questions, and practice actively. By the end, you’ll find yourself confidently speaking Korean in no time! 🌟
💬 Let us know in the comments how you’re using 있다 and 없다 in your own sentences!
