Welcome to Episode 22 of the Essential Korean Podcast! In this final episode of our three-part series on the 은/는 particle, we’ll dive into how the contraction of 은/는 works in colloquial Korean speech and practice speaking contracted phrases in sentences. Plus, we’ll practice using the essential sentence connectors 그리고 (and) and 그런데 (but/however).
🎯 What you’ll learn in this episode:
1️⃣ How and why the 은/는 particle contracts in conversational Korean
2️⃣ When and where to appropriately place the 은/는 particle as a beginner
3️⃣ How to use 그리고 and 그런데 effectively to connect sentences
✨ Key Takeaway for Beginners:
While contraction is common in colloquial Korean, don’t stress about using it in your speech as a beginner. Focus instead on learning when and where to use 은/는 so you can gain a deeper understanding of sentence structure and build a strong foundation for advancing to the intermediate level.
