Como eu aprendi português? Muitas pessoas me perguntam como eu aprendi a falar português tão bem. Bom, quando eu tinha 16 anos, eu fiz um intercâmbio para o Brasil. Morei em São Paulo durante um ano, e estudei no Colégio Etapa. No começo, foi muito difícil, porque meu português era muito ruim e eu não entendia nada das aulas do colégio. A professora de inglês teve que me ajudar muito, e os meus amigos também me ajudaram. Fiquei muito surpresa ao descobrir que muitos alunos brasileiros falavam inglês. Nos primeiros dois meses, foi tudo muito difícil, mas eu já conseguia falar com uma pessoa se ela estivesse sozinha. Quando tinha muitas pessoas, eu me perdia totalmente. Depois do quarto mês, tudo ficou muito natural e eu já me expressava sem problemas. Biologia era a matéria mais difícil para mim, porque eu nunca tinha ouvido aqueles nomes. Tenho muitas coisas para falar, mas não quero que o texto fique muito longo. Espero ter feito um bom trabalho! ^_^

한국어로 소개 안녕하세요! 뉴욕에 사고 한국어를 공부하는 코니입니다. 11개월 전에 한국어를 공부하기 시직했는데 아직도 잘 못합니다. 내년에 전기 공학을 공부하러 한국에 갈 거예요. 그래서 빨리 늘었으면 좋겠지만, 한국어 문법이 가장 어려운 것 같습니다. 사람들은 저를 왜 한국 대학에서 공부하고 싶은다고 합니다. 대답은 아주 복잡하는데 설명해 볼 겁니다. 드라마과 케이팝은 유명해서 한국에 관심이 있는 사람들이 많습니다. 그렇지만 제가 한국어과 사랑에 빠졌습니다. 그때 한국 문화에 대해 배우고 정말 대단했습니다. 한국에 있으면 가난한 사람들에게 영어 선생님을 자진하고 싶습니다. 그래서 한국 사람들과 잘 소통하려고 한국어를 말할 줄 알아야 겠습니다. 한국 음식도 너무 좋아합니다 특히 삼겹살. 마지막으로 미국 문화하고 한국 문화가 너무 달라서 한국에 가보고 싶습니다! 저를 도와주세요. ^_^

Programas coreanos No sé porque, pero me gustan mucho los programas coreanos. Mi programa favorito llama "Annyeonghaseyo", es como se habla "Hola" en coreano. Muchas personas van a este programa cuando tienen alguna preocupación relacionada a vida. Sin embargo, creo que muchos apenas quieren tener fama, porque sus preocupaciones son muy fútiles. Hay también muchas personas que enfrentar situaciones muy difíciles. Hubo un hecho en cual el hermano de una mujer no la dejaba encontrar hombres. Ela debía besalo en la mejilla antes de salir y cosas do tipo. Cuando esta mujer se casó, su hermano fue junto a la luna de miel. ¡Que situación incómoda! No puedo imaginar mi hermano hacendo cosas así. A propósito, esa es mi primera entrada en español. Espero haber hecho un buen trabajo!

好久不见～ My Chinese teacher asked me to write a letter to my "ex-boyfriend" saying that I still like him. I've already written mine, but I would like to surprise her with a good Chinese. I will tell her I was not the one who wrote it afterwards. Therefore, may you translate this entry for me, please? "I still remember the first time we talked. Even though both of us were shy, you gathered all the strength you had and asked me if I wanted to be your girlfriend. We didn't spend much time together, because life led us to different ways. It is funny how I still get myself smiling when thinking of you. You made me feel like the luckiest person in the world, other people aren't able to make me feel the same way. Sometimes, at night, I look at the ceiling and keep wondering how your life is going, if you are happy, what you are doing. Can't we go back to the time we thought nothing could tear us apart? I feel sad because, even though we can't be together, I know I still love you. I just hope you will be able to find a good person and have a happy life!"
