흔한 실수
- Do not translate word-for-word from English when using “Talking about age”. Match Korean word order (SOV) and speech level.
- Do not mix 반말 and 존댓말 in the same short exchange unless you are sure both speakers switched.
- If a page contrasts two forms, never treat them as free synonyms. Pick by meaning, not by which one you memorized first.
연습 방법
- Level: beginner-friendly explanation; still re-check formality with a native conversation partner when stakes are high.
- Say every example out loud, then change one slot (place, time, or person) to force production. Not only recognition.
- After reading, open Chamelingo and recycle the same pattern in a lesson or speaking practice so it enters long-term memory.
