Introduction[edit] Korean is the official language of both Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and Republic of Korea (South Korea). In the Republic of Korea, the language is most often called 한국말 (Han-gung-mal), or more formally, 한국어 (Han-gug-eo) or 국어 (Gug-eo; literally "national language").

Past Tense Conversation: A.러셀씨는 어제 뭐 했어요? English:A. I am simply confused why '안나와' was used in the Past Tense Conversation and not '안나하고'. 'Yesterday Anna and I (except 나 would be missing) went to a birthday party.' Seems contradicting to me. LP's Korean Grammar Guide: In a Living Room. What can you find in this photo?
