In this episode, we’ll learn how to negate verb forms, or more simply, how to express what someone doesn’t do. We’ve learned previously how to say what actions we do, like “I eat” or “I cook.” Negating these statements entails learning how to say “I don’t eat” or “I don’t cook.” After listening to this episode, you’ll be able to provide more elaborate answers to the questions that ask if you do certain actions or what you do in Korean!
We'll review the action verbs learned in previous episodes and learn 6 new very useful Korean verbs: go, learn, teach, read, meet, and like. We'll then practice these verbs in a variety of situations.

• For go : 가요.
  
• For learn : 배워요.
  
• For teach : 가르쳐요.
  
• For read : 읽어요.
  
• For meet : 만나요.
  
• For like : 좋아해요.

Don't forget to repeat after Teacher Kay and hear yourself saying the sentences and understanding the conversations. You'll be surprised at how far you've come!
