Level 2 · Unit 8

Have you been to Jeju?

The magpie who has been everywhere

Sori has been everywhere. Hoya has been to one place.

This unit is part of the Level 2 Pass — opening soon.

Until then, you can find your level with the level test, or start at the beginning of Level 1.

What you’ll learn

  • V-(으)ㄴ + NThe N that I did (past modifier)
  • V-(으)ㄴ 적이 있다/없다Have you ever…?
  • V-기 전에 · V-(으)ㄴ 후에Before… / After…
  • V-(으)려고 하다Planning to…

Sori’s tips in this unit

  • Three modifiers on one noun: 먹는, 먹은, 예쁜
  • 적이 있다: 'ever' versus the plain past
  • Before and after: why -기 avoids irregulars but 후에 does not
  • -(으)려고 하다, -(으)ㄹ 거예요, -(으)러 가다 — three ways to say 'go to see'
