Is it me or does Duolingo barely offer the appropiate help needed to understand Korean? What characters portray "is a"? "Person" comes before "is a", I suppose, yet why? Are there any rules? I need to find someone who speaks direct Korean to help me. We are learning about whole sentences when we werent even taught what "Hello" is.
just so you know, duolingo is not effecient for learning the grammatical principles. if you're just starting out with korean you need to use some sort of curriculum too to get familiar with the grammar. duolingo is only good for memorization and practicing. i recommend howtostudykorean.com its free and extremely helpful and in depth!
this site explains the difference well imo

As far as I know, the topic is the general thing being discussed, while the subject is part of the grammatical structure of the sentence (as in subject and predicate). It gets confusing because topic and subject can have the same meaning in certain contexts but the "subject" here is the grammar definition.
