The Little Words
Particles and endings — the seven days that decide whether people understand you
English marks who did what with word order. Korean marks it with little words attached to nouns, and those words are the wall every learner hits after their first hundred phrases. Seven daily lessons, no grammar terms: 은/는 against 이/가, the object marker and when to drop it, 에 against 에서, turning any dictionary verb into speech, the past tense, the two kinds of no, and the three words that join sentences. Each lesson ends with the same conversation, a little longer than the day before.
