Lesson 111 (Pre-Advance 1 Lesson 9)
March 2, 2022•548 words
We finished up Chapter 1 in the textbook. There was also a video script for Chapter 1 in the new set of notes that I received (along with the revision sheet, and notes for Chapters 2 and 3).
We started with the video script, with the usual practising after. One of the items was a song (we didn’t have to practise that). After that, we moved to the textbook, picking up at the Listening and Speaking portion and finishing Chapter 1. We started on the vocabulary for Chapter 2 but I believe we did not finish all the words, as we continued going through the list in the next lesson.
Culture Note
3A Chapter 1
I have no recollection of going through the culture note in detail. We did talk about the preparation section, where it asks how do you address certain people.
The first was if you have a 선배 (senior in school, higher grade) who is younger than you in age. What I wrote in the book was that it is safer to call them 선배 (rather than by name).
Pronunciation
Nothing new, but I’m convinced this is very important and hence it is being repeated time and time again. Even though it seems like it is given in bits and pieces and different chapters have presented some form of information about it.
- When the final consonant ‘ㅎ’ is followed by ‘ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅈ’, they are combined and pronounced as [ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅊ].
- The initial consonant ‘ㅎ’ that follows after the final consonant sounds [ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ] is pronounced as [ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ].
Both points are covered in Lesson 44—1B Chapter 11. (In fact, the first rule also includes ㅂ there.)
First point was covered also in Lesson 72—2A Chapter 3. The second point is also identical to what was in Lesson 96—2B Chapter 13.
Examples
- 끊겼어요 [끈켜써요]
- 어떻대요? [어떠태요]
- 일이 좀 많지만 재미있어요. [만치만]
- 밥하고 김치 [바파고]

Since we did not finish going through all the vocabulary for Chapter 2, and I am honestly not sure where we left off (though I have my suspicions), I will include the list in the next lesson’s post.
