KLI Book I - Chapter 3 회사원이 아닙니다 (I am not an office worker)
Note: This is my personal notes from KLI (Korean Language Institute) text books. I've included roman characters for both Japanese and Korean (Min. of Culture standardized). For sample sentences, I added some pseudo-English to show new comers how the language is formed. Lastly, the vocabulary includes Hanja (Chinese characters), which is not used anymore in Korea, but is there to illustrate the similarities in Chinese Character usage of Japanese words. The words are quite similar sounding between the languages. Minor corrections were made to Japanese text where there were mistakes from KLI book.
