Hello.
안녕하세요 . (annyeong haseyo)

-hamnida and -jiman
In Corean, it's possible to add polite endings to verbs, such as shillye hamnida (excuse me), which is comprised of the verb stem shille ha-, and the verb ending hamnida (this is the formal style).
There is also the verb and stem, shillye-jiman (I'm sorry but....) which is a abbreviation of the verb and stem shillye ha-jiman , containing the ending -jiman which means but.
Asking a person
There is a special verb which may be used in the event where you want to ask someone if they are someone.....for example "Are you Mr Han".
We would use -iseyo, and simply add this to the end of a phrase.
Han songsaengnim-iseyo? ( Are you Mr Han?)
Hangungmal songsaengnim-iseyo? (Are you the Corean Teacher?)
Subjects and topics of Corean sentences
You should attach -i to the end of nouns which end with consonants and attach -ga to the end of nouns which end in a vowel. By doing this, it's possible to give emphasis on subjects in sentences.
For example, songsaenim-i ( teacher ) or maekju-ga (beer) give emphasis on each of these subjects in a sentence.
For a sentence , "The man kissed the woman", the subject in this case would be the man.
On the other hand, when a subject is mentioned for the first time, the subject particle is used, but later on in a conversation, this is switched back to the topic particle.
The topic particle, is similar to that of the English "As for", and is best used in order to compare two things.
For example, as for me ( na-nun ), I love shopping
as for mum (ma-nun), she hates it.
There Are / There is
The Corean verb which means either "there are" or "there is" is issoyo ( 있 어요 )
They depend on the context in which you use them, and on what you're actually talking about. The stem of the verb is iss- with the inclusion of o and the particle -yo, and thus forming the ending -oyo. However in the case where the verb stem ends in a vowel, you should use -a or -o, such as -ayo.
Vowel stem - yo
Consonant stem - ayo if the last vowel ends with -a or -o
Consonant Stem - oyo
In context the opposite of iss- is ops- which literally means "there isnt" or "there arent".
Uses of the verbs
Chogi issoyo means "It exists over there", or "It's over there"
Issoyo on its own can mean "I have/he has/she has/they have"
Opsoyo means "I dont have" or "I havent got"
Hangul
You should be able to learn hangul in around a day or two. Tatsuka has posted a lot of advanced information on hangul but if you can't actually remember the individual hangul, then it's pointless trying to learn anything further than that.
There are a few sites deidicated to teaching hangul and I suggest that you check them out.
