Welcome to the Essential Korean Podcast, where I help break down the nuances of the Korean language to help you become a more aware and confident speaker of Korean. We’ve created the Essential Korean membership to help provide a complete set of tools to elevate your Korean to the next level. Check that out on our website, along with my weekly newsletter, at essentialkorean.com!

In today’s episode, we’ll start with a short review of the previous episode, where we learned to express the first person’s wants with one additional usage of the form. After that, we’ll get to a new lesson on how to tell what other people want to do in Korean and compare it with the way in which what ‘I’ or ‘we’ want is expressed in Korean. As today’s episode is the first episode of the new year, we’ll use a situational example very fitting for that– one of our life events that mark and signifies a new beginning: a wedding!

With that, to the lesson we go!
