🧱 Step 1: The Foundation (Basic Logic)

Before you build complex thoughts, you need to make sure your foundation is solid. Can you say "No"? Can you mark who is doing the action?

🔗 Using Particles Correctly (Subject/Object/Topic) The glue of Korean sentences. Never get confused by 은/는 vs 이/가 again.

Life doesn't just happen "now." Tell your friends what you did yesterday and what you will do tomorrow.

➡️ Simple Future Tense (Will/Going to) "I will go." The basic way to express the future.
📅 Talking About Detailed Future Plans More advanced ways to discuss your schedule and intentions.
🙏 Expressing Hopes & Wishes (-고 싶어요) "I want to..." Use this to express your dreams.

💪 Step 3: Needs, Abilities & Obligations

This is where you start sounding like an adult. Express what you can do, what you must do, and what you need.

👍 Expressing Ability (Can/Cannot) "I can speak Korean." Show off your skills!
⚠️ Expressing Necessity (Need to) "I need to study." Crucial for daily life tasks.
🛑 Should and Must (Stronger Necessity) The difference between "I need to" and "I HAVE to."
📜 Expressing Obligation (Duty) Formal duties and social rules.

🎨 Step 4: Adding Color (Emotions & Logic)

Make your sentences rich and interesting. Compare things, suggest ideas, and share your feelings.

⚖️ Comparing Two Things (Better/Worse) "This is spicier than that." Essential for shopping and food.
😭 Expressing Emotions Deeply Don't just say "good." Learn to say "frustrated," "relieved," or "touched."
💡 Making Suggestions (Shall we?) "Shall we go together?" Be a leader in the conversation.
