Level 2 promised you three things. This book delivers them - and fills a fourth gap nobody had noticed.

The three promises: the -습니다 register you have been hearing in every announcement and every shop since Level 1, the -(으)면 conditional in full, and reported speech. All three are here.

The gap is the bigger story. Neither Level 1 nor Level 2 ever taught you to put a whole clause in front of a noun - 어제 산 책, the book I bought yesterday; 지금 먹는 사람, the person eating now; 내일 갈 곳, where I'm going tomorrow. English puts that description behind the noun and usually needs a joining word. Korean puts it in front, with an ending on the verb and nothing joining them at all. Five of this book's fifteen lessons need it, and it is what 것 같아요, -(으)ㄹ 때, -(으)ㄴ 후에, -는 것 and -는데 are all built on. So it opens the book and Part 3 is nothing else.

What's inside:

  • The formal register - 습니다 after a consonant, ㅂ니다 after a vowel, and no stem-vowel rule to check. It is the easiest ending in the language, and you have been saying 감사합니다 in it since Level 1
  • Honorifics you produce, not just recognise - 드세요, 계세요, 주무세요, 성함, and the humble set 드리다 / 여쭙다 / 뵙다, with the rule that actually picks them: not whose action it is, but who is on the receiving end
  • -겠-, the syllable inside 알겠습니다 that nobody explains - and 맛있겠어요 and 힘들겠어요, which between them cover most of what Korean small talk asks of you
  • Two words for because - and the limit Level 2 left out: -아/어서 cannot carry a request or a suggestion behind it, while -(으)니까 can. An apology always takes -아/어서 늦어서 죄송합니다
  • -(으)러 and -(으)려고 - going in order to, and intending to
  • When, before, after, while - and why 전에 always takes -기 while 후에 takes the past
  • Reported speech - -다고, -냐고, -(으)라고, -자고, and the 달라고 that a request for yourself needs
  • -는데, the most-used connector in spoken Korean, which almost no course explains because it does not translate. It sets something up, and once you can hear it you will notice it in every second sentence
  • -잖아요 and -더라고요 - one marks what you both already know, the other what you found out yourself
  • Asking at four heights, from 주세요 up to 주시면 감사하겠습니다
