목이 아프다

Explanation

This sentence means: “to have a sore throat.” Read the Hangul first without English, then check the gloss, then hide the English and reproduce the sentence aloud.

Chunk the sentence: topic/subject, object (if any), and the verb ending that carries tense and politeness.

Transformation drill: change one slot — time (오늘/내일), place (집/학교), or person (저/친구). Keep the same verb ending so you practice productive flexibility.

Listening drill: play audio if available, shadow immediately, then write the sentence from memory. Compare character-by-character — spacing mistakes count.

목이 아프다 is taught here as “to have a sore throat.” Learners often stop at a flashcard gloss; real fluency needs collocations, speech level, and one or two sentences you can actually say today.

Listen to the Hangul, shadow it once slowly, then once at natural speed. If romanization helps the first day, turn it off the second day so your eyes lock onto 목이 아프다, not Latin letters.
