Lesson 3 - 저는 한국 사람입니다.



About - greeting plus how to tell someone where you are from.

This lesson explains how to ask where they are from and to answer where you are from in Korean. The basic expressions are as follows:

어느 나라 사람입니까? Where are you from?
저는 (어느 나라) 사람입니다. I am from (your country).

"나라 + 사람" in Korean means nationality. For example, "일본 사람" for Japanese and "중국 사람" for chinese. "어느" and "나라" means "which" and "country" respectively.

At the end of the lesson, you can learn the expression "고맙습니다", which means "thank you." You can say "고맙습니다" for all the situations where "thank you" can be said. Another expression to show your gratitude is "감사합니다."
