Welcome to Episode 10 of the Essential Korean Podcast! In this episode, we tackle one of the most frequently asked questions by Korean learners: the various forms and uses of the verbs "알다" (to understand/know) and "모르다" (to not understand/not know). With 12 essential variations of these verbs, you'll gain clarity on when and how to use them in everyday Korean conversations.

🎯 By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to confidently say and use:
1️⃣ "알겠습니다" & "알겠어요": To say "I got it" or "I understand now (with newly received information)."
2️⃣ "모르겠습니다", "모르겠어요", & "모르겠는데요": To express "I don’t get it" or "I don’t understand (even with the newly received information)."
3️⃣ "압니다" & "알아요": To say "I know" or "I understand."
4️⃣ "모릅니다", "몰라요", & "모르는데요": To say "I don’t know."
5️⃣ A couple of useful phrases to ask others about their understanding or knowledge.

This episode breaks it all down in an easy-to-follow format, helping you demystify these common but sometimes confusing verbs.

📚 The episode consists of:
1️⃣ Lesson with Speaking Practice: Step-by-step breakdown of the verbs with real-life examples
2️⃣ Mini Quiz: A quick review to reinforce what you’ve learned
