Hi there~ Nice to meet you! I'm Brandon.26 years old and live in Seoul, South Korea. I think Im not bad at listening, reading and writing in English most of the time only if subjects are not super serious. :-) I'm looking for a partner who can teach me English(proofreading sometimes but mostly, daily conversation) Otherwise, if you're interested in Korean or Korean pop cultures, just let me know! Thanks.

    hmm.. "오글거리다"("오글 대다";basic form of the verb) originally means when something like worms is gathered in very small place or packed, it decribes how it moves in a creepy way. But when Korean ppl say "오글오글" or "오글오글거려" it simply means you just can't stand seeing/watching with the situation happening now or feel weird/embarrassed/creepy because it is kinda cheesy so your foot and fingers become claw-shaped, figuratively speaking. For example, when you hear the cheesiest pick-up line from guy, how would you feel? you are going to say like "ew~" or image you're going out with your friends for beer and everyone's all getting along expect one guy saying always something serious like cliche. You'd probably feel "오글오글" because it's too serious and sometimes it turns the whole atmosphere into creepy. Nowdays in Korea, it's been widely used but still informal. Hope that it helps

    What time is it? -> " 몇 시야?" Do you speak english? -> " 영어 할 줄 알아?" Where is it? -> "거긴 어디야?" Sentences/terms: Your welcome! (after being thanked) -> " 천만해" or "별거 아니야" Congratulations! -> " 축하해!" I like you -> " 나는 너를 좋아해" I love you -> " 나는 너를 사랑해" I don't know -> " 나는 잘 모르겠어" Im sorry -> " 미안해" Welcome! (as a greeting) -> "환영해!" , "어서와!" Just a little (After being asked "Do you speak Korean" -> "아주 약간" or "아주 조금"

    Yellow~ To dumb it down -> I(subject) am(verb) happy(adjective). -> 나는 행복하다. Sentence structure analysys ->나는(subject) 행복(adjective) 하다(verb) You(s) are(v) happy(a). -> 너는 행복하다. Are(v) you(s) happy(a) ? -> 너는 행복하니? Sentence stucutre analysys -> 너(s)는 행복(a)하니(v)? As you see above, you can see how Subject,Verb and Adjective are combined differently in both languages. Of course, there are many other things to consider when making a sentence in Korean like different types of endings adds to verbs and adjectives, postpositions or all the changes into sentence showing repect. But basically like this. Hope it helps.

    Yellow~ Basically, And -> 그리고(if it's used as sentence conjunction, otherwise it will be shortened) But -> 그러나(same above) Or -> 혹은, 또는(same above) Yet -> 그렇지만, 그런데도(same above) So -> 그래서(same above) Nor(Neither A nor B) -> A도 아니고 B도 아니다.

    If u want to sound more native speaker, you could say "당근이지(slang)" otherwise you can just say "확실히 그럴게(for sure)", "그럴게(will do)"

    Relatable or Relevant ? Hello~! I heard "relatable" from a TV show. He said "Shut up about the farm. No one owns a farm. It is not relatable" but I thought it was"relevant" at the moment. What's the difference btw them?

    When can I use "kick it up a notch"? Informal? I looked up the urban dictionary and got the meaning. It's like someone's throwing a party but it gets boring, so a host says "let's kick it up a notch" which means let's make it fun. Is it right? Can I use it in writing?

    I taught myself Korean. -> 나 스스로 한국어를 배웠다. Do you cook? ( meaning do you like to cook/or are you good at cooking or do you cook often)? -> 너 요리 할 줄 알아?(요리 하는거 좋아해?/요리 잘 해?/너 자주 요리해?) Do you have your own apartment in Korea? ->너는 한국에 너의 집을 가지고 있어? / 한국에 아파트 한 채 가지고 있어? If I come visit Korea, can I stay at your place? ->내가 한국에 가게 되면 너의 집에서 머무를 수 있을까? Do you have any siblings ( brothers and sisters)? ->너는 형제나 자매가 있니?
