I- 나는 , 난
You- 너는, 넌
wow- 와
about- 정도
by- 로, 으로

비행기로
젓가락으로
버스로
지하철로
연필로

나는 버스로 왔어요.
난 차로 왔어.
지하철로 한시간 정도 걸렸어요.
나는 젓가락으로 라묜을 먹습니다. (먹있어요?) Is that the correct ending, too?

"typing" 한시간 정도 걸렸어됴!

Thanks for your time and study, Palapala~~
You spent ONE hour for this practice sheet!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

YOU DID SO WELL on this lesson, Palapala~~!
One thing... about "noodle" = 라(la) 면(myeon) = 라면.
you wrote 라묜, which is totally understandable in Korea if you say it so.
Very well done, Palapala!
cheers,

ps "먹었어요" from 먹다 (standard form) "to eat"
먹 (verb stem) + 다 (standard ending form)
먹 + 습니다 (instead of 다) = formal speech.
먹 + 었 (eot) "past tense" 다. "ate"
먹 + 었 + 습니다 = formal speech.
먹 + 어요 = "be eating"
먹 + 었 + 어요 = "finished eating"
Palapala, don't worry about verb for now. I will teach you from the basic, which will make you understand every changes in verb.

안녕하세요! Since the other sentences were used I'm going to try to create new ones testing all past lessons. :p

I go to the store by car.(in order to buy the watermelon) [I by car to store watermelon in order to buy]
난 차로 가게에 갑니다. ( 난 차로 가게에 수박을 사러 가요)

The 8 people eat kimchi and rice with chopsticks.
여덟 사람이 젓가락으로 김치와 밥을 먹었습니다.

It took us about 13 hours by plane to get to the airport. [said 다다르다 is to arrive/reach]
우리는 비해기로 십삼시간 정도를 공항에 다다르어요
(us는 by plane로 about 13 hours를 airport에 to arrive) possibly 하하 I think it might be too complicated ㅡ.ㅡ

I came by bicycle.
저는 자전거로 왔어요.

:/ not sure how I did this time around.
감사합니다

Hello Dustin,
I feel like... your Korean has just 200% improved!
Very impressive!

Just small mistakes...
you wrote, "The 8 people eat kimchi and rice with chopsticks.
여덟 사람이 젓가락으로 김치와 밥을 먹었습니다."
먹습니다 "to eat"
먹 + 었 "past tense" + 습니다 = 먹었습니다 "ate"

you wrote, "It took us about 13 hours by plane to get to the airport. [said 다다르다 is to arrive/reach]
우리는 비해기로 십삼시간 정도를 공항에 다다르어요"
(us는 by plane로 about 13 hours를 airport에 to arrive) possibly 하하 I think it might be too complicated ㅡ.ㅡ
"13 hours" = 열 세 시간.
"took" = 걸렸다. "to take" = 걸리다.

I came by bicycle.
저는 자전거로 왔어요.

you wrote, "not sure how I did this time around.
감사합니다"

You did very good! actually more than "good".
cheers,

[dustin2010]

감사합니다! ㅅ ㅅ

So
It took us about 13 hours by plane to get to the airport.
우리는 비행기로 열 세 시간 정도를 공항에 (다다리러) 걸렸다.

Or would it end 다다리러 공항에 걸렸다. In order to arrive At the airport it took us about 13hours.

감사합니다. I also may have gotten another person to join since she was interested in learning Korean too

Dustin,
you wrote,
"It took us about 13 hours by plane to get to the airport.
우리는 비행기로 열 세 시간 정도를 공항에 (다다리러) 걸렸다."

"to the airport" 공항까지
"to get to" 가는데, 도착하는데
"by plane" 비행기로
"about 13 hours" 열 세 시간 정도
"(it) took (us)" 걸렸다.
공항까지 가는데(도착하는데) 비행기로 열 세 시간 정도 걸렸다.
However, your sentence is good enough! Very well done!

Thanks for doing all this.
cheers,
Tim
