A class that fits Aki
Aki: weekday evenings only, total no more than 80,000.
| Criterion | A반 | B반 |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule | 수요일 오후 7시 | 토요일 오전 10시 |
| Total for four sessions | 70,000원 | 60,000원 |
| Walk from station | 10분 | 5분 |
Materials included; four 90-minute sessions in each.
Learn the expressions
Use 수업이 저녁에 있기 때문에 A반을 추천해요 to give the reason first. Attach 기 to the stem, then leave a space before 때문에.
| Evidence | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| 수요일 저녁 수업 · 평일 저녁만 가능 | 수업이 평일 저녁에 있기 때문에 A반을 추천해요. |
| 7만 원 · 예산 8만 원 | 수업료가 예산에 맞기 때문에 A반을 추천해요. |
Check all requirements first. A class fitting the budget is not enough if the person cannot attend. A recommendation also does not establish that the person enrolled.
