Stop memorizing. Start building sentences using the 3 Rules.

1. The Golden Rule: Sandwich Structure πŸ₯ͺ

Unlike English, Korean puts the Action (Verb) at the very end!
β€’
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ English: I eat Pizza.
β€’
πŸ‡°πŸ‡· Korean: I Pizza eat.
The Formula:
Bread 1 (Who)
Ingredients (What/Where/When)
Bread 2 (Action)
Subject
Object / Place / Time
Verb (Ends in Yo)
μ € (Jeo)
ν”Όμž (Pizza)
λ¨Ήμ–΄μš” (Meog-eo-yo)

2. Essential Verbs (The "Yo" List) πŸƒ

Don't use the dictionary form! Use the "Yo" form to sound natural.
πŸ’¬
πŸ”₯ Pro Tip: Verbs ending in "-hada" always change to "-haeyo".
