K-pop favorites (beginner)
좋아하다, 제일, 노래—talk about songs and groups.
Goals
Say what you like and name one favorite track using -아요/어요.
Steps
- 좋아해요, 정말 좋아해요, 제일 좋아해요.
- 이 노래 좋아요. 그 가수도 좋아요.
- Keep it polite—no need for slang yet.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting 을/를 on the object before 좋아해요.
Study rhythm: Pick one real song title and one group name to reuse all week so particles stick.
Hands-on: Write three sentences: favorite group, favorite song, and “I listen every day.”
Listening: Watch a short lyric video with Korean subs—circle every 좋다 or 좋아하다 line.
Examples & practice: mini conversation
