We will also learn some basic personal information, such as age and occupation, which will help you have meaningful conversations with others.  
In small groups, introduce yourselves to each other and practice the phrases. Try to use all the vocabulary words from the lesson.


This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Korean Course," and it is designed for complete beginners. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently introduce yourself in Korean and provide basic personal information. Let's get started!
=== Exercise 9: Vocabulary Quiz ===


== Basic Greetings ==
Create a quiz with 5 questions based on the vocabulary from this lesson. Exchange quizzes with a partner and test each other.


Before we learn how to introduce ourselves, let's start with some basic greetings that you can use in different situations. Greetings are important in Korean culture, and using them shows respect and politeness. Here are a few common greetings:
=== Exercise 10: Reflection ===


* 안녕하세요? (annyeonghaseyo?) - Hello (formal)
Write a short paragraph reflecting on what you learned in this lesson and how you can apply it in real-life situations.
* 안녕! (annyeong!) - Hi! (informal)
* 안녕히 계세요. (annyeonghi gyeseyo.) - Goodbye (formal)
* 안녕히 가세요. (annyeonghi gaseyo.) - Goodbye (formal, when the other person is leaving)
* 안녕히 가. (annyeonghi ga.) - Goodbye (informal, when the other person is leaving)


You can use these greetings to start a conversation or to say goodbye. Remember to use the appropriate level of formality depending on the situation and the person you are talking to. Now, let's move on to introducing yourself!
== Detailed Solutions and Explanations ==


== Introducing Yourself ==
Let's go through the exercises and provide some detailed solutions to help clarify the answers.


When introducing yourself in Korean, it is common to start with your name. Here's how you can say "My name is [your name]" in Korean:
=== Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks ===


* 제 이름은 [your name]입니다. (Je ireumeun [your name]imnida.)
1. 안녕하세요! 제 이름은 '''[Your Name]'''입니다.


For example, if your name is John, you can say:
2. 저는 '''[Your Age]'''살입니다.


* 이름은 John입니다. (Je ireumeun Johnimnida.)
3. 직업은 '''[Your Occupation]'''입니다.


You can also use the phrase "저는 [your name]입니다" (Jeoneun [your name]imnida) to introduce yourself. This phrase literally means "I am [your name]." Here's an example:
4. 저는 '''[Your Country]'''에서 왔어요.


* 저는 John입니다. (Jeoneun Johnimnida.)
=== Exercise 2: Match the Questions ===


After introducing your name, it is common to provide some additional information about yourself. Let's learn how to talk about age, occupation, and nationality in Korean.
1 - B: 당신의 이름은 무엇입니까? → 제 이름은 리사입니다.


=== Talking About Age ===
2 - D: 몇 살입니까? → 저는 28살입니다.


To talk about your age in Korean, you can use the phrase "제 나이는 [your age]살입니다" (Je nainun [your age]sailimnida). Here's an example:
3 - C: 어디에서 오셨습니까? → 저는 한국에서 왔어요.


* 제 나이는 25살입니다. (Je nainun 25sailimnida.)
4 - A: 직업이 무엇입니까? → 저는 의사입니다.


If you want to ask someone about their age, you can say "몇 살이세요?" (Myeot sariseyo?), which means "How old are you?"
=== Exercise 3: Create Your Introduction ===


=== Talking About Occupation ===
This is a personal exercise; however, here’s an example.


To talk about your occupation in Korean, you can use the phrase "저는 [your occupation]입니다" (Jeoneun [your occupation]imnida). For example, if you are a student, you can say:
* Korean: 안녕하세요! 제 이름은 마크입니다. 저는 22살입니다. 제 직업은 학생입니다. 저는 캐나다에서 왔어요. 만나서 반갑습니다!


* 저는 학생입니다. (Jeoneun haksaengimnida.)
* English: Hello! My name is Mark. I am 22 years old. My occupation is a student. I am from Canada. Nice to meet you!


Here are a few common occupations in Korean:
=== Exercise 4: Listening Practice ===


* 학생 (haksaeng) - student
For this exercise, listen for specific phrases such as "제 이름은," "저는 ...살입니다," and "만나서 반갑습니다."
* 회사원 (hweasawon) - office worker
* 선생님 (seonsaengnim) - teacher
* 의사 (uisa) - doctor
* 변호사 (byeonhosa) - lawyer


If you want to ask someone about their occupation, you can say "직업이 뭐예요?" (Jigeobi mwoyeyo?), which means "What is your occupation?"
=== Exercise 5: Role-Playing ===


=== Talking About Nationality ===
Use the vocabulary learned in the lesson to practice your introductions and follow-up questions with your partner.


To talk about your nationality in Korean, you can use the phrase "저는 [your nationality]입니다" (Jeoneun [your nationality]imnida). For example, if you are from the United States, you can say:
=== Exercise 6: Short Answer Questions ===


* 저는 미국인입니다. (Jeoneun migukinimnida.)
For each question, students should respond with complete sentences, such as:


Here are a few common nationalities in Korean:
1. 제 이름은 __입니다.


* 한국인 (hangukin) - Korean
2. 저는 __살입니다.
* 미국인 (migukin) - American
* 중국인 (junggukin) - Chinese
* 일본인 (ilbonin) - Japanese
* 영국인 (yeonggukin) - British


If you want to ask someone about their nationality, you can say "어느 나라 사람이에요?" (Eoneu nara saramieyo?), which means "Which country are you from?"
3. 저는 __에서 왔어요.


== Cultural Insights ==
4. 제 직업은 __입니다.


In Korean culture, introductions are often accompanied by a bow, especially when meeting someone for the first time or in a formal setting. The depth and duration of the bow can vary depending on the level of formality and the status of the individuals involved. Bowing is a sign of respect and is deeply ingrained in Korean etiquette.
=== Exercise 7: Write a Dialogue ===


It is also common to exchange business cards during introductions in a professional setting. Business cards are usually exchanged with both hands, and it is polite to read the other person's card carefully before putting it away. This gesture shows respect and interest in the other person.
Students should create dialogues that include greetings and self-introductions.


In addition to the bow and the exchange of business cards, Koreans may engage in small talk during introductions. It is common to ask about the other person's family, hometown, and occupation. Koreans value personal connections and may use these questions as a way to establish a rapport and build a relationship.
=== Exercise 8: Group Activity ===


== Practice Exercises ==
Encourage students to interact and use the vocabulary in a relaxed setting.


Now it's time to practice what you have learned. Here are a few exercises to help you solidify your understanding of introducing yourself in Korean:
=== Exercise 9: Vocabulary Quiz ===


Exercise 1: Introduce Yourself
Students can create questions such as:
Write a short paragraph introducing yourself in Korean. Include your name, age, occupation, and nationality. Use the phrases and vocabulary you have learned in this lesson.


Exercise 2: Conversation Practice
1. What does "안녕하세요" mean?
Imagine you are meeting someone for the first time. Write a short dialogue where you introduce yourself and ask the other person about their name, age, occupation, and nationality. Practice the dialogue with a partner or record yourself speaking.


Exercise 3: Role Play
2. How do you say "I am from" in Korean?
In pairs or small groups, take turns introducing yourselves to each other. Use the phrases and vocabulary you have learned in this lesson. Try to make the introductions as natural and conversational as possible.
