What You'll Learn

  • Construct past tense and progressive statements in polite (-요) and formal (-(스)ㅂ니다) speech levels to recount experiences and ongoing routines.
  • Express hypothetical conditions with 만약에 and -(으)면, as well as simultaneous actions using -(으)면서.
  • Formulate plans and obligations using -(으)려고 하다 to express intent and -아야/어야 되다 to communicate necessary tasks.
  • Request permission politely with -아/어도 되다 and introduce requests or contrasting statements with -(스)ㅂ니다만.
  • Modify nouns with action verbs and recommend solutions or preferences to others using -는 게 좋다.

About This Course

In this course, you will move beyond basic phrases and learn how to construct complex, multi-clause Korean sentences for real-world interactions. You will master essential structures for expressing conditions with -(으)면, coordinating simultaneous actions with -(으)면서, and stating future intentions and obligations with -(으)려고 하다 and -아야/어야 되다. You will also develop the nuances needed for polite everyday conversation, such as asking for permission using -아/어도 되다, softening requests with -(스)ㅂ니다만, and recommending actions using -는 게 좋다. Through dialogue-driven practice covering travel plans, illness symptoms, and daily routines, you will gain the grammatical foundation required for intermediate communication and TOPIK preparation.

Who this is for: This course is for learners who have a solid grasp of Hangul, basic vocabulary, and elementary present-tense conjugations, but want to connect ideas into richer, multi-clause sentences. If you are preparing for intermediate Korean study or the TOPIK exam, you will find practical tools to expand your conversational range here.

Before You Decide

Playlists don't have quizzes, don't track progress, don't pull videos from multiple channels into a sequence, and don't give you a certificate. A playlist is a list. This is a course.

The videos are still free. What costs money is the structure around them: modules in the right order, quizzes built from the content, progress that follows you across devices, and a certificate at the end. You could piece all of that together yourself. Or you could have it built in minutes.

They're yours. Permanently. Every certificate you earned stays dated, valid, and shareable whether you're still subscribed or not. Cancelling doesn't touch anything you've already completed.

Install it from the Chrome Web Store. When you're on any YouTube video, click the YouVersity icon to save it to your library. Once you've saved enough, turn your library into a structured course. It's a second way to create courses: instead of typing a topic, you hand-pick the videos yourself.

The opposite. Videos stay embedded on YouTube. Every view in a course is a real view on their channel with their ads. We send them focused, motivated viewers who actually watch to the end. Creators keep everything they already earn, plus new traffic.

Probably not. Most people take two or three. At $9 a month, even one course is worth it compared to buying individually. The 30 is a ceiling, not a homework assignment.
