Classroom Korean
« on: May 24, 2011, 01:55:55 PM »
I've only been in Korea a few weeks and I've found I occasionally have trouble communicating with my students in class. I am very interested in learning Korean but I am still pretty new at it, and so I basically know how to read hangeul and an increasing number of survival phrases. However, these don't come up very often in the classroom...

After some trouble getting the students to repeat after me I picked up "darahaseyo", and this has made that entire process much easier. So I thought I would ask here if anyone had any other easy phrases that have really helped move things along in class? Thanks for any help!

Seuseyo - please write
Deuleuseyo - please listen
yogi - here
jogi - there
anjeuseyo - please sit
hajimaseyo - please stop 
hajimara - stop ( more for angry teacher  :) )
joyounghee haseyo - please be quiet   My korean coteachers often just say joyoung
Ironara - stand up
Yonpil - pencil
Jyugae - eraser
Gawee - scissors
Chamsheemanyo - please wait

Sorry for my appalling romanisation of the korean language, but thought it might be a bit more helpful for you since you're starting out. Plus my korean typing is super slow. Hope it helps :)

I don't know the proper spelling. I just listen and learn from my teachers.

"ed-i-ra" means listen to me (not the highest form of politeness i think).
"a pes" means the front.
"ha ji ma" means don't do that.
"chu ri ka yo" means get out/go away (not that  nice)

and of course.

"chu ga lae" - Do you want to die?  :P

Thanks so much for the help, everybody. I made myself a quick little cheat sheet and I think it really helped in a few of my classes today. I stunned two different classes into silence when I whipped out "joyounghee haseyo" LOL

That looks like a great site, infogoddess, I'm sure I'll be spending some time on there.
