Bite-sized Korean with 이게 맞아?!
*disclaimer: I am not Korean, I am not fluent in Korean, but I have taken formal classes, so this is to the best of my knowledge. If anything is amiss, please let me know either privately or in the comments of this post.
youtube
I'm going to discuss what Jimin says in the first three seconds of the trailer!
지민: 오늘 정국이 잘 때 안 춥게 형이 옆에서 꼭 안아줄게 I'll give you a cuddle tonight so that you don't feel cold.
Let's dive into the 단어!
Tumblr media
오늘 - Today (but in this context, it's translated as tonight bc it's encapsulating the notion of it being *later* in the same day)
정국 - Jungkook
자다 to sleep
자다 in this case is conjugated to 잘 때 when added to the ~을/�� 때 form, which indicates when a verb occurs/is performed. so it's like, when you sleep.
안 - Not
춥다 Cold
춥다 is added onto the grammatical form of ~게 and becomes 춥게, which functions like "so that" or "to allow for" in English. This is used to explain what influences the speaker to perform a certain action. Usually forms like this might appear awkward to the average English speaker because the form is usually structured backwards from what we're used to.
형 - Hyung
옆 Next to (paired with a ~에서, a dynamic location particle)
꼭 - Tightly, firmly (in this particular context)
안다 to embrace, to hug, to hold within one's arms
안다 is combined with the ~아/어주다 form, which indicates that the speaker wants the listener to do something for them. I'd say this form mostly closely equates to asking for a favor from someone. Since 안다 is a verb that is commonly paired with 주다 (to give), this form can also demonstrate that you are also doing something on behalf of the listener. In more polite forms, you'd use the verb 드리다 (for humility), but Jimin is older (and close) with Jungkook, so he uses comfortable language and sticks to 주다. 안아주 is then added to ~ㄹ/을게(요) form and becomes 안아줄게, which is when the speaker states their intention to do something unless the listener refutes them.
So ig you can see this sentence like: When you sleep tonight, so that you don't get cold, hyung will be next to you and will hold you tight.
That's a little too wordy, however.
Tumblr media
Other Notes | 때 usage
There's also a form of 때 that can be paired with nouns. ~을/ㄹ 때 is used exclusively with verb forms, but you can use 때 by itself next to nouns. ex: 방학 때 - during (school) vacation
중학교 때 제가 좋아하는 과목은 수학이었어요. When I was in/During middle school my favorite subject was math. 중학교 middle school, 제 my, 좋아하다 to like, 과목 subject, 수학 math, 이다 to be
Also another form of 때 is ~을/ㄹ 때까지, which is like, until (verb) occurs. In this case, 때 is added to ~까지, which means until/up to. In the song Spring Day (봄날), at the end they sing:
다시 봄날이 올 때까지 Until that spring day comes again 다시 again, 봄날 spring day, 오다 to come
꽃 피울 때까지 Until the flowers bloom 꽃 flower(s), 피우다 to bloom
Other notes | ~ㄹ/을까(요), ~ㄹ/을게(요), ~ㄹ/을래(요) verb attachments
~ㄹ/을게(요) is like, I'm going to do this (if that's alright) or I'm planning on doing this (if you're fine with it). It's more of a statement rather than a question/suggestion, but it carries a kind of nuance that can fish for the consent/permission of the listener.
불을 켜드릴게요. I'm going to turn on the light (for you). 불 light, 켜다 to light, ignite
~ㄹ/을래(요) is an invitational form that usually expresses the desire or want to do something. It's like forming proposals like, "will you do… (together)", "let's...", "would you like to...", or "do you want to...". It's a form that pays more attention to what the listener wants to do.
같이 밥 먹을래요? Let's eat together/Shall we eat together? 같이 together, 밥 rice/meal, 먹다 to eat
~ㄹ/을까(요) is also an invitational form, asking "should I..?", "I'm thinking of...(but give me your thoughts)", "should we…?". Honestly, when I first encountered this form, I wondered what made it different from 을/ㄹ래(요), but from my understanding this form values the opinion of the other person (about information they may not know) and also asks for an opinion or permission about things that have yet to occur. So this form can almost be used like the English statement of: "What do you think? Should we...?"
불을 꺼줄까요? Do you want me to turn off the light? 불 light, 끄다 to put out, to extinguish
Tumblr media
That's all! Until next time ;p

10.10.2024 — 안녕하세요! I realize I never made any sort of introduction on here, so here goes a short and simple one!
저는 에샤입니다~ It’s pronounced like Asia~ 한국어를 공부하고 있어요. 저는 온라인 수업 대학교에서 공부해요. 저는 25살이에요. 그리고 워싱턴에서 살아요. 네, 저는 Twilight life 정말 살아요. ㅋㅋㅋ
커피, 케이팝, 드라마들, 웹툰, 비, 매운 음식, 그리고 글쓰기 좋아해요. 언젠가 드라마를 쓰고 싶어요. 그게 제 꿈이에요.
저는 대학교에서 1년 동안 한국어를 공부했지만 아직 잘 못해요. 그래서 친구들과 함께 한국어를 연습하고 싶어요. 정말 싶어요! 😭🙏🏻
If you are a Korean student or studying Korean and want to practice messaging in Korean together, please always feel free to message me on Tumblr (seriously please feel free, lol). No pressure, as I am a beginner with only basic knowledge right now. Maybe I’d be okay with voice messaging in the future, too. We could also ask each other study questions, talk about Korean topics, etc. I’m really open to anything if it means practicing!
어쨌든, 만나서 반가워요! 화이팅 여러분~

some more words related through Hanja characters:
If you don't know what Hanja is, it refers to the Chinese-derived words of the Korean language. Pretty much half of Korean comes from originally Chinese words (and therefore will share pronunciation similarities with actual Chinese) and the rest is pure Korean.
Just like Latin and Greek is to English (e.g. aqua- hydro- indicate relation to 'water'), we can remember some Hanja to make semantic links between words in Korean.
The majority of Korean people's names have Hanja equivalents and could be written out in Chinese (sometimes required on official documents) and will be chosen by their parents based on the traditional semantic meaning. However, in the last few decades more Korean people are giving their kids pure Korean names with nice meanings such as 사랑, 보라, 하나, 하늘, 진주. More on Korean names in a future post!
Anyway, on with some semantic Hanja word links.
Marriage related words - 혼
결혼 - marriage
이혼 - divorce
약혼 - engagement (does the 약 part also seem familiar? It's the same 약 in 약속 - promise, and 예약 - appointment.)
기혼 - married (as in the person's status)
미혼 - unmarried, single
water related words - 수
수달 - otter
생수 - drinking/fresh water
수상 스키 - water ski (상 is a Hanja meaning 'above')
홍수 - flood
호수 - lake
school related words - 학 and 교
학교 - school
학생 - student
교복 - school uniform (your probably know what Hanbok is right? 한 - Korea 복 - clothing. That's the same 복.)
교육 - education
middle related words - 중
중국 - China (국 is the character used in country names)
중학교 - middle school
중급 - middle/intermediate level
중 - medium size (might see on a menu with portion options)
beauty related words - 미
미국 - the U.S.
미녀 - beautiful woman
미용실 - beauty salon/hairdressers
people related words - 인
인간 - human
~인 - person from ~ country (a Korean, a Brit, a German etc)
인생 - life
인기 - popularity
인사 - greeting
인삼 - ginseng (so called because the root resembles a person)
개인 - personal, private
주인 - owner
부인 - wife
female related words - 여/녀
여신 - goddess
미녀 - beautiful woman
마녀 - witch
그녀 - she
여성 - female
소녀 - girl (소 is another Hanja meaning small)

All about Hanok, the Korean traditional home, using the oldest surviving example of the Maeng clan haeng-dan! It is an example of architecture from the beginning of the Joseon dynasty (start:1392) which has been maintained according to the old way of building.
The name 행단 refers to a place with a gingko tree, which makes reference to Confucius teaching pupils under a gingko tree. In Joseon, Confucian culture became a main part of the national culture, replacing previous national Buddhism in Goryeo dynasty.

August Language Plan (2024)
July was definitely something... Now it's time for me to peep game and lock-in y'all. My main goal for August is to strengthen and solidify my foundations in Korean. I also want to focus more heavily on listening and speaking to prepare me for holding conversations. August is the last month I'll be focusing solely on Korean. So let's make it count and build my plan! 가자!
Tumblr media
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Overview
August is a somewhat busy month for me because I have to prepare for my tutoring job, move into my dorms, and start school. So for this month I'm going to give myself an easier base-line. If I want to do more on certain days, I can still do that too!
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Grammar
My main resource is the "Korean Grammar In Use" beginners textbook. I will use HTSK and various YouTube videos to further my understanding of the grammar points I learn from the textbook.
Baseline: Complete and understand 21 lessons within the month of August. Be sure to cross reference with supplementary resources (HTSK & YouTube). (7/21)
Activities
Grammar Drills: Practice using the new grammar by using them in sentences.
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Vocabulary
I will create my own vocabulary lists based off of themes that are related to my everyday life (school, games, music, etc). Other than that, I'll mainly pick up vocabulary from the content I interact with.
Baseline: Learn thirty new words per week. (1/4)
Activities
Anki: Use Anki flashcards to commit the word lists to memory. (ㅠㅗㅠ)
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Writing
I noticed I have some errors with spelling, so I want to work on that. I don't have any specific resources for this area.
Baseline: Write at least 10 journal entries. (1/10)
Activities
Spelling Drills: Practice writing vocabulary words. HiNative: Post sentences and get spelling corrections.
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Reading
I want to use reading to pick up on words and grammar I've already learned and new ones I could use. My main resources are StoryKorean and Hancom Taja.
Baseline: Read and annotate at least 4 pieces of Korean text (stories, song lyrics, podcast transcript, etc.). (1/4)
Activities
StoryKorean: Read and annotate a story on the website. Choi Susu: Read and annotate podcast transcript. Hancom Taja: Practice typing to recognize characters and read faster.
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Listening
This is an area I want to focus on hard. Whether I'm listening to a podcast, a song, or watching Korean content, I need to actively listen. I have some issues distinguishing sounds, so I want to focus on pronunciation and intonation.
Baseline: Actively listen and take notes on at least 8 podcast episodes. (1/8)
Activities
Korean 101 Listening Tests: Test comprehension. Choi SuSu Podcast Story Time In Korean Podcast 리아의 BPM Podcast What? Door! Korean With Jadoo
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Speaking
Now I said in my July wrap-up that I'm avoiding having conversations with native speakers because of my lack of skills. This month, I'm going to practice and prepare myself for the conversations I'll have in September. I'm shadowing everything! My music, shows, podcasts. If it's in Korean, I am copying it.
Baseline: Submit 5 audios to HiNative per week. Make at least 2 MilkMoom Moment audios for the month.
❀𖤣𖥧𖡼⊱✿⊰𖡼𖥧𖤣❀
Hopefully we all complete our goals for August! 화이팅!
Checklist
Complete and understand 21 lessons within the month of August. Be sure to cross reference with supplementary resources (HTSK & YouTube).
Learn thirty new words per week.
Write at least 10 journal entries.
Read and annotate at least 4 pieces of Korean text (stories, song lyrics, podcast transcript, etc.).
Actively listen and take notes on at least 8 podcast episodes.
Submit 5 audios to HiNative per week. Make at least 2 MilkMoom Moment audios for the month.

100 days of mental healthcare: day 62/100
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was happy to work on some publicity images today and to keep myself busy. I chose not to study, but tomorrow I think I'll attend one or two classes on my course. the weather is a little warmer, but still my cat has been next to me all day. At least I had company to watch anime after dinner lol
it was a great day, but with several interruptions. I couldn't concentrate on work for long because I received a lot of orders today and I had to keep picking up deliveries, but at least some materials for my next candle production arrived! I also spent about an hour trying to buy intravenous iron because I will soon do a treatment to prevent anemia. Maybe this will improve my physical disposition and have positive effects on my mental health.
I read a little today about how the social media system has messed up our natural dopamine production and how we should be able to do ordinary tasks and generate dopamine through them. The problem is that it is now so easy to generate so much dopamine from scrolling that the little amount of dopamine generated from, idk, doing dishes no longer matters. Anyway, I had this pile of clean laundry to fold and I realized I had no motivation to do it. I only did it because I decided to watch one piece while doing the task. The impact that screens have on us is terrible, but I don't think anyone is immune to it.
🌸: day 9/28
💧: 0,8 L 🤡 (shame on me)
🏃🏻‍♀️: 🚫
🏋🏻‍♀️: 🚫
📝: 🚫
🎧: to star lake - joe hisaishi
🎮: 🚫
📺: one piece ep. 385-395
📚: 🚫
🛑: 3 days pick-free
💊: took all my vitamins

studyblr masterpost jam Day 3: free resources
Korean is a pretty popular language so there are MANY free resources. You could in theory not spend a penny while learning.
The King Sejong Institute
It's an Institute sponsored by the Korean government that gives students free material and online lessons. I repeat, FREE. You can download textbook from the website or enroll in their FREE courses.
I'm currently taking one of their 1 live lesson a week (on Zoom) course (it's FREE!!!) but there are also pre-recorded video courses. I completed 2 of them and they are still really valid. And free!
If you would like I structured approach (for free), I recommend you check them out. You can start a pre-recorded course whenever you like and you can enroll in the Zoom ones about one month before the course is set to start. There are four enrollment periods a year and each course lasts 10 weeks.
Your local Korean Culture Institute
Korea also sponsors physical Culture Institutes around the world. They offer lessons at laughable prices (one semester for 30€ here in Italy) and sometimes also organize free workshops (I learned how to read Hangul at one of those). Sometimes they also offer online group lessons so check that out as well!
Grammar: websites
Whenever I have to look up a grammar rule really quickly, I end up either stumbling on previously answered Hello Talk questions or the website How To Study Korean. Both amazing resources.
Listening: podcasts
Here is a list of the podcasts I like for beginners:
akapinn
koreant
study korean with sol
korean tutor k
anything that says "comprehensible input" is gold
They are all easy enough not to get discouraged but tough enough to make you improve with every video. I recommend not looking at the English translation until you've listened to the podcast at least a couple of times.
And here are some podcasts I've heard are good for intermediate learners:
choi susu (a classic) (if you find the podcast too difficult start with the vlogs)
didi's korean podcast
Listening: kdramas & TV variaties
You won't understand them as a beginner. That's ok. Watch them anyway.
Being exposed to the language will eventually bring you to pick up vocabulary and get a sense of some grammar rules. I watched kdramas with eng sub for 7 years before I started learning actively and it has helped SO MUCH both with my listening skills and with going like "oh so that's why they keep repeating that expression in that particular way" while I'm studying grammar, which helps me remember everything better.
For kdramas: just go on Viki.com and look for a drama with an interesting plot. Beware! Do not fall into temptation and start watching Chinese dramas instead. Remember that you are there to practice Korean, not start a whole new hobby. For a beginner, I recommend picking kdramas set in modern times, because the vocabulary in historical dramas is more difficult.
Some tv varieties I like:
The return of Superman. About celebrity dads raising their children.
I live alone. About celebrities and their daily life in their apartments where they live by themselves
Inspector / 감별사. On YouTube. Hosted by Jeongyeon from TWICE, she visits other celebrities' houses to ask them to donate their precious possessions. The objects will get auctioned and the money donated to charity. Jy is really funny.
Listening, reading and pronunciation: song lyrics
I've heard that some people shadow every podcast episode they listen to in order to improve their pronunciation, which sounds incredibly boring. But you know what's not boring? Singing.
Once you get to a decent Hangul reading speed (and to get there the only way is to read a lot), pick a ballad you love and try to sing along to the lyrics.
This exercise will help you improve your reading and listening skills, practice your pronunciation and memorize new words and sentence patterns. Also singing is a joyful activity that will take the stress out of language learning. Kudos point if you decide to try and translate the song.
If you are a kpop fan, you know a ballad for sure. If you are a kdrama fan, every kdrama soundtrack features at least a ballad. There are no excuses. But if you need a suggestion, Spring Day by BTS or 두 사람 are my current faves.
Writing
Writing is actually not that hard, guys. You can practice writing online (on Tumblr, on Hellotalk, on writing streak Korean on Reddit, with penpals) or in secret (in your journal no one will ever read). It's not that hard, find a list of prompts and get going! I know Choi Susu has some videos about writing a diary in Korean but I haven't watched them yet.
Speaking
If you have no one to speak to in real life you can either 1. go back to the "writing" section and do that or 2. try to think in Korean.
It will be a real chore at first, but if you simply try chronicling your day, little by little you will look up new vocabulary and practice using new grammar rules.
Warning: this will only help you with formulating sentences. To speak properly you will have to practice your pronunciation and get your face muscles used to some weird movements. Singing along (see above) is a good way of accomplishing that.
