SDLC 111 Learning Journal #4

 We continued learning Korean particles "eun" ""neun" "i" "ga"by using them in different texts, and learned how to express our preferences. Here are some basic sentences and words that we use to express our preferences:

1. jo a hae yo: I like it
2. an jo a hae yo: I don't like it
3. ne: yes
4. aniyo: no

We need to notice that there is a distinguished difference from English when answering with "yes" and "no". In English, if somebody asks you"Don't you like coffee?" and you would answer "Yes, I do like coffee" or "No, I don't like coffee". However in Korean, it is the opposite. You would say "ne, an jo a hae yo" which is "Yes, I don't like coffee" or "aniyo, jo a hae yo", which is "No, I do like coffee". It seemed very confusing at the beginning, but after practicing them for several times with each other,  I can now use these words in a correct order.
