Hello! I’m Kay, the founder of Essential Korean. 안녕하세요. 반갑습니다!
At Essential Korean, our mission is to help learners master the Korean language with clarity and confidence. With over 20 years of experience as a professor (Columbia University, PSU, OSU) and a textbook author, my expertise is in teaching Korean grammar and demystifying the nuances of the language.
For our learners, we've organized content into Playlists, so you can easily find lessons that suit your level and interests.
Guided by my motto, “Responsible Teaching for Learners,” I take great care to create materials that are accurate and thoughtfully prepared. I know how much learners rely on the resources they use. My goal is to provide tools you can trust, so you can focus on learning without second-guessing the information you receive.
Thank you for choosing Essential Korean as your companion on your language journey—I look forward to connecting with you in the days to come! 🎓✨

In this special episode, we explore the -지요 verb ending in Korean—a versatile and engaging speech pattern often used for confirmation, connection, and inclusivity in conversation.
Through real-life examples, Kay샘 will guide you in understanding how -지요 functions in different contexts, alongside key grammar points like the -고 conjunctive and honorific verbs in Korean.
But today’s episode is also deeply personal. As Kay샘 teaches these language concepts, she'll share a letter to her late father, reflecting on words, unspoken actions, love, and cherished memories. Through this, you’ll hear authentic Korean in action—woven into a tribute that is both linguistic and personal.
Let's learn, reflect, and celebrate both the power of language and the love that connects us across time and memory.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
✅ The meaning and function of -지요 in Korean conversations ✅ How -고 is used to connect ideas in natural speech ✅ The role of honorific verbs in storytelling and respect ✅ A personal letter, shared in both Korean and English
