Hmmm...I like the way that is worded. I usually mentally register that ending as "Shall we..." or "Would you like to..." but that doesn't always fit the meaning. That wording you have listed is much less specific and thus fits better. On that note: What do you think of the 가나다 series?

As far as learning the grammar, the Ganada books present very thorough explanations and various examples. But
when you get up to the intermediate and advanced levels of the ganada series, it can become tedious to work through the chapters, especially since the listen and repeat drills use high level vocabulary. If the vocabulary is too overwhelming, my recommendation would be to take a 6 month break from the grammar and focus on the reading and vocabulary. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've been quite busy over the past two weeks, with the GRE Exam followed by several job interviews. Because those things were early in the morning, I was too tired to put much work into the grammar book. Sometime next week, I will be finished taking grammar notes from the Intermediate 2 book and expect to start the Ganada Advanced 1 book later this month. Nonetheless, I got finished with the final chapter of Book 1. Vocabulary: 매복: lying in wait, ambush 알랑거리다: flatter 졸병: Private (army rank) 단두대: guillotine 춘부장: honorific term for Father 과묵하다: Have very few words to say 오막살이: dirt hut 낟가리: stack of grain stalks 은신처: hideout 마적: Mounted bandit 토비: Local rebel 비적: bandit 추서다: heal 몸조리하다: Take care of one's body 영솔: command, lead 숙성하다: be wise ahead of one's years 노새: mule 되박: container used for carrying grain 서당: village schoolhouse 책걸상: Desk with a chair built in 석판: Stone slab or lithography 타매하다: bicker, slander 옹고집쟁이: A very stubborn person 쇠진: decay 육혈포: 6 shooter, pistol 흠모: admiration 꼬리를 물다: Bite the tail, follow in a line 향지: Hard oil used in burning incense 상여: funeral bier PyeongAn Dialect: 두텁다: be thick 약담배: opium 베감투: bandana 우등불: bonfire 지팽이: stick/cane HamGyeong Dialect: 코: A string (of 20 fish or pieces of meat) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
