Text from Book:
마리 : 회시원, 재민의 회사 동료임, 등산과 케이팝을 좋아해요.
수지 : 대학생, 외국에서 유학 중임, 취미는 시지 찰영임.

Where is the ㅁ in the text from ?
We can convert a verb or adjective to a noun, by attaching ㅁ to the verb stem.

함 is a slang form of 하다.
임 is a slang form of 이다.

무엇을 해요? = 뭘 해요? = 뭐해요? = 뭐해? = 뭐 함? What [are you doing]?

back, climbing
mountain
등 + 산 = 등산hiking (“climb mountain” , but you may want to remebmer it easier as “back [of the] mountain”)
등산하다 -> 등산해요 to go hiking (“back mountain do”)
유학하다to study abroad [“study-abroad-do”]

Gerund ( = -ing form)
The -고 있다 ending is used to describe an ongoing action.
You can also use the -중이다 to describe that you are in the middle of something, that you are .. doing something.

등산하다 + -고 있다 -> 등산하고 있다 . Literally “Hike-Mountain-do-and-exists” = I’m hiking = I am on a hike right now.

Of combined final consonants (“double bachim”) sometimes the first and sometimes the second consonant is pronounced.
To remember the combinations of which the second syllable is pronounced, there is a trick:

All double-bachim of which the second consonant is pronounced, look like 7-segment Numbers:

ㄹㅁ looks like 20 , so this is pronounced like “ㅁ” For example 삶다 -> 삼다 to boil
ㄹㅍ looks like 20 , so this is pronounced like “ㅍ” For example 읊다 -> “읖다” to recite [a poem]
ㄹㄱ looks like 27 , so this is pronounced like “ㄱ” For example 읽다 -> “익다” to read

Of all other double-bachim the first character is pronounced
