저는 [직업: 학생, 영어 강사]입니다. – I am a [Job: Student, English instructor].

Grammar Notes
Here are some quick tips on grammar to help you construct sentences confidently:
Sentence Structure: Korean follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure.
For example, "저는 학생입니다" (I am a student) follows this pattern.
Use of "은/는" and "이/가": "은/는" is a topic marker, while "이/가" is a subject marker. In "저는" (I), the "는" marks the topic, meaning the sentence is about you.
For more details, check out the grammar guide on KoreanTopik.com, where you’ll find in-depth explanations for these markers and more!
Quiz Time!
Now, let’s test your knowledge. Try translating these into Korean:
"Teacher"
