Korean

It's taking me so long to learn this language because it's not like anything I've never learned. The words are starting to get easier to understand. I'm up to Unit 1 level 6 but the grammar and sentence structure is taking far longer than expected to learn because of the order of words and extra things to add on through out the sentences.
I've managed to learn:-
한국 = Korea
도시 = city
이름 = name
저 = I (formal)
나 = I
남자 = man
여자 = woman
그 = that
이 = this
저 = that (when object is far away)
것 = thing
의자 = chair
탁자 = table
선생님 = teacher
집 = house
차 = car
컴퓨터 = computer
이다 = to be (acts like an adjective)
네 = yes
아니 = no
안녕하세요 = hello
감사합니다 or 감사해요 = thank you
제발 = Please
소파 = sofa
나무 = tree
나라 = country
가방 = backpack
창문 = window
잡지 = magazine
방 = room
냉장고 = refrigerator
전화기 = phone
커피 = coffee
텔레비전 = television
안 = inside
위 = on top
밑 = below
옆 = beside
뒤 = behind
앞 = in front
펜 = pen
음식 = food
한국어 = Korean (language)
버스 = bus
먹다 = eat
좋아하다 = to like
비싸다 = expensive 싸다 = not expensive/cheap
길 = street
거리 = street/road
우리 = we/us
남편 = husband
아버지 = father
어머니 = mother
물 = water
사과 = apple 끝나다 = to be finished
맛있다 = delicious
형 = older brother, when you are a man
오빠 = older brother, when you are a woman
누나 = older sister, when you are a man
언니 = older sister, when you are a woman
삼촌 = uncle
아저씨  = older man not related to you
아주머니 = older woman not related to you
할아버지 = grandfather
할머니 = grandmother
친구 = friend
보고싶다 = to miss a person

Not bad for a couple of months work I don't think. The grammar is harder to pick up. The main one I've go is that the sentences must end in either a verb or an adjective. An object can't be in the same sentence as a adjective!!
