I am learning Korean, because I,m spending the next 2 years in Korea. Please help, I only understand basic phrases and greetings. I am a native English speaker, so I can teach English in return. Got back from Korea a year ago and am now quite proficient in the language. I would love to be as fluent as a native, so the study of Korean never ends. I satrted learning French in hight school, but public school is not the best place to develop a language. Im going to try to pick it up again as laguage number 3. I dont know many people who speak French so It would be awesome to learn. My best friend from hight school was born in japan then moved next door to me. His parents dont speak much English, but it would be great to understand some of the basic nuances of Japanese. I already have a strong foundation in korean so perhaps Japanese wound be as difficult.

    1. You could say both and I can understand. Perhaps, If you want the most natural way combine (to like a place the most). I would say this: My favorite place to go. (If I had been there before) Or perhaps, The first place I would like to visit. (I had never been there before) 2. The second sentence needs a pronoun or noun to specify who is doing the action of the verb since in the previous sentence you used a decriptive verb. It only works if they are both the same type of verb. For example, you can say: I am tall and wide. you can say :I went to the store and ran home. You can't say: I ran home and tall. You can say: I am tall, and I ran home

    Examples from a Korean book I have a hard time translating this next sentence into english. 정부가 방송에관한 규제를 완화하는 방향으로 가닥을 잡았다. I believe it means:The government made little appeasement towards alleviating broadcasting regulations. But 가닥을 잡았다 is literally grabbed a strand. Does that mean to take baby steps or little by little? Do you have a better translation?

    Article about OVNI

    Are we prepared for contact with an alien civilization? Would it be benificial for both sides?

    The encounter should be compared with what ocurred in America when Colón came.

    5 centuries ago, European men believed that the planet was a disc supported on a turtle, and when one goes out to horizon, he would fall to abyss.
    The reality was that navagation skills were primitive, and they couldn't go far away from the coast due to limited food and water that was needed to arrive.

    A letter to my teacher I just want to clean up some small mystakes I may have over looked. 안영하세요. 아럼 프리드맨이라고합니다. 저는 3연전에 하국어 배우고십은 마음이 먹었고 한국에서 2년 동안 살았습니다. 알차게 시간이 보냈는대 나의 모적은 친차 한국 사람 처럼 대화하고싶습니다. 제가 저금도 자연스러운 대화, 발음, 그리고 한글 쓰기를 발전시키고싶어요. 보통 한국어 선생님들이 너무 기본적으로 가르치는데 선생님의 인사는 마음이 들어요. 미국발음이 너무 강해서 특히 걱정이 되요. 도와주세요! Any feed back would be appreciated.

    Where did it go? 어다 갔니? I lost it. 네가 그것을 일어버렸어(For losing an object not forgetting something or going crazy) I found it. 찾았다. This movie is really good! 이 영하는 친차 좋다! To say hi is 안영. To tell someone to say hi is 인사해줘 (this last one is a command so it can be rude, so if meeting them for the first time add주세요. If you really want to show respect then instead of commanding them by saying 인사해주시겠세요? Especially if they are older than you.) These are all informal, so use with care and only with kids, friends, or when talking to yourself.

    I think that it means the day before yesterday 그저게 is a longer term. If your listining is off you could be hearing 그죠. I don't think I have seen 그저 by itself, but always with something else like 그저 바라볼 수있어 I'm not a native speaker so I would ask a native for a more definate answer.
