Common Korean Verbs 1-30


 Alright, so here is my first Korean language-related post. So basically I learn languages best when I associate images with them, but it's much more helpful if those images have some sort of significance or memory attached to them. For example, it's much easier for me to remember "Barbershop" 이발소  if I have this image:
Sweeney Todd
Rather than this generic one:
barber pole
Even though it's a movie, those images and emotions are also "my" memories. So because this is the Korean language, it would make sense to use images of my "experiences" via Korean popular culture. This first set of flashcards uses images from popular dramas and mvs (indicated below). You have no idea how many pictures of hugs, kisses, and piggy back rides I had to go through to find these, arrgggh. But I think it was worth it because I found some really good screen shots. The only one I couldn't find a decent one for was "to boil."
There's lots of Boys Over Flowers images because that's the drama I looked up first and it was really popular, so lots of images to choose from. Simply copy and paste them on your Korean flashcards for a much more entertaining way to learn Korean! :)
*Verbs with the asterisks are irregular verbs so I'll put the present tense conjugations up for those.
