Welcome to the Korean Topik Podcast, where we make learning Korean accessible and engaging! In todayโs episode, weโre diving into "KIIP Level 1: Unit 1โEssential Words and Phrases about Country and Occupation."
Introduction
Learning a new language is an exciting and challenging journey, and the Korean Immigration and Integration Program, or KIIP, is here to support you! This program helps immigrants and foreign residents in Korea not only learn the language but also understand the culture, making it easier to adapt to life here. In KIIP Level 1, Unit 1, weโre focusing on the basics: introductions, countries, jobs, and languages. Whether you're just beginning or reviewing, this lesson is a great foundation for communicating in Korean. Letโs go through the essential vocabulary and phrases youโll need for a confident introduction in Korean.
Essential Vocabulary
First, letโs look at some key vocabulary in three categories: personal information, countries, and occupations.
์ด๋ฆ โ Name.
์ง์ โ Job.
๊ตญ์ โ Nationality.
์ด๋ โ Which.
๋๋ผ โ Country.
์ฌ๋ โ Person.
ํ๊ตญ โ Korea.
ํ๋ฆฌํ โ Philippines.

ํ๊ตญ์ด โ Korean.
Key Phrases to Practice.
Now that youโve learned the essential vocabulary, letโs put them to use in some common phrases.
์๋ ํ์ธ์? โ Hello.
์ ์ด๋ฆ์ [์ด๋ฆ: ์์ง, ํฌ์]์ ๋๋ค. โ My name is [Name: Suzy, Tuan].
์ ๋ [์ง์ : ํ์, ์์ด ๊ฐ์ฌ]์ ๋๋ค. โ I am a [Job: Student, English instructor].
์ ๋ [๋๋ผ: ๋ฏธ๊ตญ, ์ค๊ตญ] ์ฌ๋์ ๋๋ค. โ I am from [Country: USA, China].
์ด๋ ๋๋ผ ์ฌ๋์ ๋๊น? โ Which country are you from?
๋ฌด์จ ์ผ์ ํ์ญ๋๊น? โ What do you do for a living?
์ง์ ์ด ๋ฌด์์ ๋๊น? โ What is your job?

์๋ ํ ๊ฐ์ธ์. โ Goodbye (when someone else is leaving).
Practicing these phrases will help you engage in basic conversations about yourself and others. Simple introductions like these can open the door to deeper conversations as you continue learning Korean.
Grammar Notes
Here are some quick tips on grammar to help you construct sentences confidently:
Sentence Structure: Korean follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure.
For example, "์ ๋ ํ์์ ๋๋ค" (I am a student) follows this pattern.
Use of "์/๋" and "์ด/๊ฐ": "์/๋" is a topic marker, while "์ด/๊ฐ" is a subject marker. In "์ ๋" (I), the "๋" marks the topic, meaning the sentence is about you.
For more details, check out the grammar guide on KoreanTopik.com, where youโll find in-depth explanations for these markers and more!
Quiz Time!
Now, letโs test your knowledge. Try translating these into Korean:
"Teacher"
"I am from the USA."
"What is your job?"
Conclusion
Thatโs it for Lesson 1 of KIIP Level 1! In this episode, we introduced essential words and phrases that will help you as you start your Korean language journey. Mastering these basics will make it easier to introduce yourself, talk about your job, and share where youโre from. Remember to practice these phrases with friends, classmates, or even by yourself. The more you practice, the more confident youโll feel in speaking Korean. Keep going, and soon youโll be well on your way!
