Top 5 things I learned today

Japanese journal entry 1

Today I’ve officially started my Japanese learning journey. I’ve achieved a comfortable writing and reading level of Korean and I’m confident in its sentence structure so I feel is a good moment to start learning Japanese.

I’m using the Japanese Pod 101 as my main curriculum at the moment (if you have any suggestions please drop me a comment! I’d really appreciate it) and today’s lesson was more of an introduction, so here are the top 5 things I learned today:

1) Learning a new language opens up new pathways of information that you didn’t have access before, it enriches your life and stretches your comfort zone.

2) Learning Japanese puts you in direct contact with Japanese Culture and helps you see the world from a whole different perspective, helping you grow as a person.

3) Learning a new language improves your memory and exercises your brain significantly delaying onset of Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia adding up to 4 or even 5 more years of healthy brain life.

4) Japan has 19 UNESCO Heritage sites that are amazing to visit.

5) Learning a new language looks great in your CV giving you access to more job opportunities and career options.

Japanese culture is rich and I can’t wait to explore it deeply. I must confess my main reason to learn Japanese is the same as the one that lead me down the road of Korean learning: Calligraphy. I’m a calligraphy nerd (if that’s even a thing) and Japanese design aesthetics and illustration style have always captured my heart. 

I can’t wait to learn Japanese! 

Read you next time!

K-study log (Entry 1)

I decided to stop waiting for PERFECTION.

I realised there’s no perfect time or perfect topic or even perfect writing style to start blogging, there’s just doing it.

So here I am, on my first K-study log (k-dramas, k-pop so... thought k-study was worth a try! what do you think?)

Today I learned about “being good/ being bad at something” 잘 하다/ 못 하다(coincidence? I don´t think so!)

(object)+을/를+잘/못+하다

The gramar point it’s very simple, you just need to add “잘/못” before de verb and in case of 하다 verbs you separate the noun part, add the subject marker and 잘 하다/ 못 하다.

Let’s see some examples to illustrate this better:

1.- 저는 노래를 못 해요 ( I can’t sing/ I can’t sing well)

2.- 제 친구는 수영을 잘해요 ( My friend is good at swimming)

3.- 저는 글씨를 못 써요 (My handwriting is not good)

4.- 매운 거 잘 먹어요? (Are you good at eating spicy food?)

And that’s today k-study log! (seriously what do you think of the name of the post? is it hashtag material? let me know in the comment’s section!)

Peace and Love

안녕!
