Questions & Answers about suyoireneun jibeseo yori sueobeul deureoyo.

Why do we use 수요일에는 instead of just 수요일에?

• -에는 combines the time particle -에 with the topic particle -는, so it highlights Wednesday as a habitual or contrastive time.
• 수요일에 simply states “on Wednesday,” but 수요일에는 implies “as for Wednesdays (in general)…” or “On Wednesdays (unlike other days)…”

What’s the difference between 에 and 에서 in 집에서?

• 에서 marks the place where an action occurs, so 집에서 means “at home” as the action location.
• 에 alone can mark a destination (“to home”) or a point in time (“at 5 o’clock”), but 에서 can’t.

Why is the verb 들어요 used to mean “take a class”?

• In Korean, 수업을 듣다 literally means “to listen to a class,” and by extension “to attend/take a class.”
• Although 듣다 normally means “to hear/listen,” it’s idiomatic in academic contexts to use 듣다 for enrolling in or attending courses.

What does 요리 수업 mean?

• It’s a compound noun: 요리 means “cooking,” and 수업 means “class” or “lesson.”
• Together, 요리 수업 = cooking class.

Can I say 수요일마다 집에서 요리 수업을 들어요 instead?

• 수요일마다 means “every Wednesday,” which also works if you want to stress the repetitive aspect.
• 수요일에는 has a slightly softer nuance of “on Wednesdays (compared to other days).” Both are correct, but 마다 is more explicit about “every single week.”

Could I use 배워요 instead of 들어요?

• 배우다 means “to learn,” so 요리 수업을 배워요 would mean “I learn cooking lessons.”
• Native speakers typically say 요리 수업을 들어요 (“I take cooking class”) to emphasize attendance rather than the act of learning. Using 배워요 shifts focus onto the learning process itself but is still understandable.

Is the word order flexible here?

• Korean is relatively flexible, but the usual order for a simple sentence is: [Time/topic] + [Location] + [Object] + [Verb].
• You could say 집에서 수요일에는 요리 수업을 들어요, but it sounds more natural to put the time first: 수요일에는 집에서 요리 수업을 들어요.
