Korean with Miss Vicky 빅키쌤

안녕하세요! 👋🏻 I'm Miss Vicky, a native Korean teacher based in Korea. 🇰🇷 Learning a language is like going on an adventure, and I’d love for us to enjoy this journey together! 🌸✨

Feel free to check out my website & books for beginner learners 📚
On my website, my YouTube videos are organized in a more structured order as courses, and you can also study with free quizzes & materials.

여러분, my beginner grammar workbooks 『Korean Grammar Canvas 1 & 2』 are finally available on Amazon as official copies! ✨

The official copies unfortunately took quite a long time to arrive at Amazon, so up until now, the paperback versions had only been available as Print-On-Demand editions provided by Amazon.

The content is exactly the same, but the official copies definitely have a nicer overall finish in terms of color, print quality, and overall polish, so I’m really happy that they finally arrived and are now available internationally for all of you.

Thank you all so much for your patience 💛

📌 Official Copies 📚
Workbook 1 - bit.ly/4nRixhz
Workbook 2 - bit.ly/4nU19c0

If you'd like to see more details of the workbooks, please check out this video: https://youtu.be/bL66n1pZHn0

📼 One small heads-up: 
I’ve been working on a video course based on my books, and it will be officially launched through the publisher soon. Unlike my live courses, this one will be a pre-recorded video course with structured lessons that you can study at your own pace.


I was told it’s expected to be released sometime next month, and I’ll share more updates about that soon.

Thank you all, always, for your support and enthusiasm for learning Korean 🌳

Hi everyone! I’m excited to announce my new 🌳 Intermediate Korean Grammar Course 🌳 based on K-Drama!

If you’ve finished beginner grammar but feel stuck at the intermediate level, or if not much seems to stick and you’re not seeing much progress, this course is for you ✨

This course combines:
✔ K-Drama Breakdown & Dictation
✔ 100 Intermediate Grammar — grouped by related patterns to help you learn more naturally and efficiently
✔ 1000 Intermediate Vocab & Phrases
✔ Homework Assignments (including 1:1 Writing Corrections) — they will help you keep up with Korean even outside classes!

🗓️ April 26th (Sun) ~ May 21st (Thu), 8PM KST

🕗 We’ll meet twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday, at 8pm KST. 
Each class is 1.5-2 hours.

👉 For details on how the classes are structured, check out this video:
youtube.com/shorts/GeNALLyi4o...

📌 For registration, please visit: www.explorekorean.net/zoomcourse
(Early-bird registration is available until April 19th, so don’t miss your chance to get 10% off! 🐦☀️)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You’ll get to revisit the same grammar points in different contexts, giving you plenty of opportunities for comprehensible input & retrieval - which are key to helping what you’ve learned stick. Along the way, you’ll also pick up a wide range of useful words, phrases, and expressions.

They’re also restructured as homework so you can use them on your own, and you’ll also be given writing assignments with personalized corrections. This means your learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. You’ll be able to have your own “immersive environment” even outside classes.

If you’ve ever felt stuck at the intermediate level, this course will boost you to move forward 🚀

I’ll do my best to guide you, challenge you, and motivate you to keep making progress. 같이 한국어 실력을 업그레이드 시켜봅시다!📈✨

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for joining today’s live class. There was a microphone disconnection issue during the session, so the audio quality from about 10 minutes in until the end wasn’t very good. (It ended up being recorded with the computer’s default microphone 🥲) So I’m going to re-upload the playback video with the separately recorded audio from my phone added in.

This will be much more convenient for you when watching it back. 

I'll try to have it up soon 😊 Thank you again for coming to the class! 💛

Hey guys! We’ll have a live class tomorrow (Feb 28th, 1pm KST), and we’ll practice more of "Honorifics - The (으)세요 form" in Korean.

We’ll not only practice conjugation and the grammatical rules of honorifics, but also focus on using them naturally in real sentences.

If you’re not familiar with honorifics yet, feel free to watch this lesson before joining : https://youtu.be/v7oFvmlrKD8?si=TrQDq...

See you soon! 내일 수업에서 만나요 🙌🏻 ✨

Hi everyone! Today at 8 PM KST, we’ll have a live class on the topic “-(으)면 vs. -ㄹ/을 때,” the two conjunctions many learners often get mixed up.

I was originally planning to go live at 1 PM today, but due to personal reasons, I’ll need to move it to this evening instead. The link is already open (you can find it in the Live section on my channel), so you can check what time it is in your own timezone.

See you guys soon! 같이 열심히 그리고 재미있게 공부합시다 🙌🏻✨

✨ Korean Idiom Time! 💡
"배보다 배꼽이 크다" literally means the belly button (배꼽) is bigger than the belly (배). Just from the phrase itself, you can probably guess the figurative meaning!

You can use it in situations like these:

1) 그 신발 사고 싶은데 배송비가 옷보다 두 배나 비싸요!
(배송비: shipping fee, 두 배: twice, two times)
→I want to buy those shoes, but the shipping fee is twice the actual product!

2) 2만원짜리 마우스를 고치는 데에 5만원이 들었어요.
(고치다: to fix)
→It cost 50,000 won to repair a 20,000 won mouse.

3) 포장박스가 선물보다 커요.
The packaging box is bigger than the gift.

Now, can you tell what this idiom means? 😁
