i went perfume shopping this morning and came back with horrible headache :'(
anyway, this lesson will have some Korean sentences that you will be able to use at school.
__________

I hate school.

나는 학교를 싫어한다.
[I school hate.]
NaNoon HakKyoRool ShilUhHanDa.

here, 를 Rool is an object marker.
Basically, 를 is added after the object, to indicate that, for example, school is the object here.

I love school would be 나는 학교를 사랑한다.

학교 = school
-> HakKyo
______________

I hate the teacher.

나는 선생님을 싫어한다.
[I teacher hate]
NaNoon SunSaengNeemOol ShilUhHanDa.

을 Ool is also an object marker! 을 is used here because if 를 is used here, the sentence sounds...weird.

선생님 = teacher/mentor
-> SunSaengNeem
___________

I hate studying.

나는 공부하기를 싫어한다.
I studying hate.
NaNoon GongBooHaGhiRool ShilUhHanDa.

So, studying means 공부하기. Would "I am studying" mean 나는 공부하기??
 - "No."

공부하다 = to study
-> GongBooHaDa
공부하기 = studying ONLY WHEN IT'S IN FORM OF AN OBJECT
-> GongBooHaGhi
'기' attached to a verb indicates that it's an object in the sentence.

For example, '사랑하기' means loving.
-> SaRangHaGhi
_________________

I am studying

나는 공부하는중이다.
[I am studying]
NaNoon GongBooHaNoonJoongEiDa.

Notice the sentence structure is the same as English? Yay~

공부하는중이다.

'는중이' is usually added in order to indicate that subject is [verb] ING.
NoonJooingEi
For example, 먹다 (to eat) becomes, 먹는중이다. -> 나는 먹는중이다.

★ Edit

There is another way to write "I am studying."

나는 공부하고있다.
-> NaNoon GongBooHaGoItDa
For example, 자다 (to sleep) becomes, 자고있다. -> 나는 자고있다.

________________

English = 영어
-> YoungUh
Korean = 한국어
-> HanGookUh
Math = 수
-> SooHak
Science = 과
-> GooahHak
Biology = 생물
-> SaengMool
Chemistry = 화
-> HwaHak
Physics = 물리
-> MoolLee
Social Studies = 사회
-> SaHwei
History = 역사
-> YuckSa
Music = 음악
-> OomHak
PE = 체육
-> CheiYook

Above is the list of school subjects that I could think of right now. Ask me if you want to know certain subject I didn't.
학 is similar to English's ~OLOGY :]

Applying the object marker,

I hate math    would be    나는 수학을 싫어한다.
I love English           나는 영어를 사랑한다.
______________

I like studying chemistry.

나는 화학공부하기를 좋아한다.
[I chemistry studying like]
-> NaNoon HwaHakGongBooHaGhiRool JoeHaHanDa.
'Chemistry' goes before 'studying'! When there is describing word on the object, it goes b4 the object.

For example,

I love sleeping late.
나는 늦게자기를 사랑한다.
NaNoon NootGyeJaGhiRool SaRangHanDa.
늦게 = late
NootGye
일찍 = early
Il Jeek
___________

Of course, school is something more than a place to study. But I'm gonna stop now I'm tooooo tired...

I think I should make the grammar lesson 'fundamental lesson', since I'm teaching all the grammar here.

...I'll do that later.

Leave comments!!! Am I the only one here??

___________★

Edit complete!

____________

Pronunciation added!

That is a bit different from the what I learned. 0_o....
Now I am confused. -_-
From what I had first learned 'I love school' would be>
난 학교를 사랑하다.
Also I had learned differently when it comes to present tense.
I had learned that ----고 있다 makes a verb in present tense.
From what I learned 'I am studying' would be>
난 공부하고 있다.
Can you please help me?

0_0 okay, 나는 and 난 have the same meaning. 난 is like I'm.
And 사랑하다 is 'to like'. To use this in sentence, 사랑하다 becomes 사랑한다.
~고 있다 is the same as ~는중이다. Yeah I think Koreans use ~고 있다 more often than ~는 중이다. 난 공부하고 있다 is absolutely correct.
I should fix this lesson....Thank you for your comment! Sorry for the confusion!!!

Thank you...
I'm less confused now. =D
But I am still a little confused. =[
I already knew about '나는' and '난'. I just put '난' out of habbit.

Why is there a 'ㄴ' at the end of '하'?
When I read about Korean for the first time I read that when 'ㄴ' or '은'
(not as in 는/은) was at the end of a verb it showed that the word is an adjective.
for example I will use the word 행복한
난 행복하다.
난 저장으로 행복한 갔다.
Is what I read incorrect?

wow are you learning Korean at school?
Yes, 한 is often added to show it's an adjective. It's absolutely right.
However, 행복하다 has ~하다 at the end and contains completely different meaning. It becomes a verb for present tense.
남한 has 한 at the end. But it is a noun, meaning South Korea.
Each Korean letter is just same as English alphabet.

If you are taking Korean lessons at school, what did you learn as present tense verb instead of ~한다 ?
Since I don't have any Korean lesson books or anything, I don't know if my lessons are proper or not... Please tell me!

I am not learning Korean at school. I wish I was though. =[
I don't have a book either. =[
I am learning Korean by using the internet. I just search the internet for various websites that are useful.
I can not tell if your lessons are officially 'proper' but I think you are doing really well.
