The linguist in me believes that 'gongweon' and the Japanese word for park 'kouen' have the same origin (from Chinese maybe?)
yes. also many korean vocabulary came from japanes because of period of Japanese occupation
chimak 당신말에 완전하게 동의 할 수 없다.
한국어가 일본어에 영향을 받은 것도 사실이고
일본어 또한 한국어에 영향을 받았다.
근대 현대에서도 영향을 받았지만 역사적으로 고대부터 서로 영향을 주고 받았다.
물론 한자 또한 중국에서 일방적으로 받지 않았다.
한국과 중국은 지리적으로 거리가 가까워서 한자의 발전에 한국의 영향이 있었다는 역사적인 증거도 있다.
한자는 동아시아의 라틴어 처럼 쓰인다.

Because many words or phrases in those languages are actually from (ancient) Chinese, just like the modern English, in which quiet a lot of words (including word roots), are originated from ancient Greek or Latin.
Hmm. This is problematic and, read at face value, largely untrue. You could say that many foreign loanwords of non-Chinese origin passed into Korean via Japanese, that would be true. 빵, 라디에타 (래디에터), 깁스, etc. But many of these have later been changed to reflect an Englishish pronunciation, when applicable. Think words like the aforementioned 래디에터.
Some old folks still remember their parents occassionally saying words like 와라바시 instead of 젓가락, but again, these have largely been displaced in favor of earlier Korean forms or English words.
Does anyone have the turtle option to slow it down ? I seen it on screenshots , but I dont have it
I think those are only on transcription exercises, i.e. those where you just listen and write i n the targer language.

They are, and only for languages that have some easily available machine reader the can use, so mostly just the biggest four or five.

It is still formal. No problem using that to superiors. If you only used 없어, that would be informal.

Is it? Wikipedia does not seem to agree:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_speech_levels#Haeyo-che
공원이 없어 - informal 공원이 없어요 - polite 공원이 없습니다 - formal I think it is a little bit complicated but not that hard you can google and learn about it more
I am learning Korean from a website called How to study Korean and it is very helpful actually but you can search this topic by saying Korean honorifics
Talk to Me in Korean is another awesome learning site. The podcasts are very helpful in learning pronunciation.
How can I know when is it a negative sentence and when is it positive? I have gotten this wrong like 4 times because when it comes to translate it I write down: "There is a park". And it's actually not wrong, the problem is that I can't recognize the negative structure that it has.
I acually don't know but if you have problems with the sentence (you don't know what it means , you can't translate it...) just tap on the word and it will show you what it means. I hope i could help you^.^
One of the ways to know that this a negative because 없어요means to not have and and 이서요 means to have thats why the sentance is "There is no park" because of the 없어.
Why is it 'There is no park' instead of 'it is not a park' ? .. How would I know if it's 'There' or 'it' ?
With apologies to Bill Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is. In English the word "is" has multiple functions. You can express equality between two things ("the sky is blue"); in linguistics this is known as a copular verb. Alternatively, you can also express existence ("there isn't a park") or location ("I am at the school").
In Korean these meanings have different words. 이다 or 아니다 (formal form: 입니다 / 아닙니다; polite form: 이에요* / 아니에요) expresses whether or not two things are equal.
하늘이 파란섹이에요.
The sky is blue.
저는 학생이 아닙니다.
I am not a student.
* If the word preceding 이에요 ends with a vowel, then it turns into 예요 instead.
있다 or 없다 (formal: 있습니다 / 없습니다; polite: 있어요 / 없어요) expresses existence of something (in a particular location, in someone's possession, etc.)
뉴욕은 미국에 있어요.
New York is in the United States.
저는 책이 없어요.
I don't have a book. [Speaking about me, there is no book.]
공원이 없습니다.
There isn't a park.
If you want to say 'It is not a park' you'd have to say 이거는 공원 없습니다 or 공원이 아닙니다. And 'There is no park' will be just 공원이 없습니다.
없읍니다 denotes the absence of an object. So if the object is absent, you use 없읍니다.
Do NOT think too long about the dog park. Do NOT stare for any amount of time at the hooded figures.
"I" is the subject particle "이" that is used to express the subject in the phrase
Is it possible to use the topic marking particle instead of the subject one with park?
One way I remember obseumnida is by "obsolete". They both start by the same sound, andean something negative (obsolete means no longer used, obseumnida means there isn't).
What do you mean by subject marker, does it mean like....... The park, A park?
Why is it, "park, there is no" instead of, "no park there is" or something like that
There is no a park. We need the article a for saying that it is a singular thing.
What's the different if you use 은/는 or 이 for the object? For example:(산이 And 산은) Please reply this one, this confused me
I cant understand these simple slangs cause they don't tell the meaning of simple ones, like this or that or there....i want them to improve this please...it kinda hurts when my sentence goes wrong.....!

The "correct" answer for this question according to duolingo is theres not a park. I just had "___ not a park", to fill in. Since theres not a park isn't grammatically correct as far as I know, I wrote It's instead.
I thought 없습니다 meant 'to not have', whereas 안입니다 was 'to not be'... am i tripping? This course is challenging!!
I use speaker so when I said 'there is no park', it mistook it for where is no park
how do you differentiate 'are' and 'is' in korean? i answered 'There are no park.' lol
