Obrigada por mais uma conversa divertida. Espero te ver em breve!
Activities
Frustration!!
I have been studying English for about five years but my English doesn't seem good enough to have a nice conversation with English speakers. Our people learn English at school but I didn't used to be interested in this subject so I simply gave up the learning it. I started to relearning it by accident which means I should make some English sentences because one of my friends sent me an email in English although she is Korean. That situation triggered me to learn it gradually. I am immersed in English which is likely to continue. Several days ago I was frustrated with my ability to speak English again since I met two foreigners. However I managed to understand what they spoke but I paid attention only to listening to them. While I was listening, realised that I will never speak it like English speakers.

Don't worry Rosa, you're English is good and it is getting better all the time!

You can hear everything from the other room, including people's conversations. 여기에 병은 얇아서, 다른 방에서 다 들을 수 있어요. 다른 사람의 대훠도 들을 수 있어요. 정말 감사함니다!July 17, 201420
- Some more practice translation I picked some random sentences to try translating. 감사합니다! 1) My phone battery usually lasts a full day. 제 휴대 폰 바타리는 보통 하루 정일 계속하요. 2) The ramen with bean sprouts is spicy, but I still like it. 콩나물 라면은 매도 좋아해요. 3) I grew up in a remote town in northern Canada. 카나다 북부 외진 도시에서 성장했어요. 4) Our dog barks a lot, but it's still cute. 울이 개는 많이 짖는지만, 괴엽어요. 5) It's very strange. The gym here has showers, but no toilets. 정말 이상해요. 여기 체육관에 셔워가 있지만, 화장실이 없어요. 6) These tickets were a bit more expensive, but the seating is better. 이 표는 저금 더 비싸지만, 좌석이 더 좋아요. 7) It's very hard to find deodorant in Korea. 한국에서 데오도란트를 잦기 정말 어려워요. 8) I used to live in France. 이전에 프랑스에 살었어요. 9) Korean grammar is a lot harder than Chinese. 한국어 문법은 중국어 문법보다 아마 어려워요. 10) Korea is very modern, but still quite cheap. 한국은 정말 현대지만, 싼 편이에요. 정말 감사합니다!July 3, 201420
- Practice translation Korean I made up some random sentences I wanted to try translating to practice. Bear with me, 아직 잘 무대요. 1) I don't really like kimchi. 저는 김지가 언좋아해요. 2) I'm feeling a little sick. 조금 아프네요. 3) I've been trying to exercise four times a week. 일주일에 내 번 운동 해야 봐요. 4) I can speak six languages. 뉵 개 언어 말 할 수 있어요. 5) Have you seen that television show before? 그 텔레비전 쇼 보 봐요? 6) I like to sleep in on weekends. 주말에 늦게 일어나는 것 좋아해요. 7) Do you have any allergy medication? 알레르기 약이 있으세요? 8) I think she's pretty but she has a boring personality. 그 요자는 예쁜 같아지만, 성격 재미없어요. 9) Coffee beans only grow in tropical countries. 카페 두는 열렬한 나라에서만 성장해요. 10) I worry about his health sometimes. 건강은 가끔 격정 해요. 감사함니다! Thanks for any help with the mistakes I made.June 30, 201450
- How to write "accepted"? I'm trying to write a Chinese sentence that conveys the meaning: "I was accepted/offered a job opportunity" but I'm not sure what verb to use. For context, I've written this (for a friend): 中国人觉得我是黑人。我不知道为什么，但是是真的。我有证据在网上有一个广告招聘黑人演员。我给他们发我的照片以后，他们告诉我：“行!” But ending sounds bad, I'd prefer to say something closer to the English "and they accepted me/offered me a job opportunity". 谢谢！May 29, 201470
- 杂感关于我和一个朋友在中国的经历 最近我和朋友去过中国。这是一些杂感关于我们的经历： 1. 学语言的最难部分是开始的困窘。即使你知道你说错，但是你还是需要继续练习说话。大量的学习没有帮助，没有别的方法。 2. 疼的时间很短好处的时间很长，开始的障碍完成后我用汉语对话很开心。 3. 在中国什么都地方有方言和普通话。有时候这很泄气因为腔调和词汇的差别很多。 4. 我跟中国人说话的时候，他们都对我笑。我觉得是一半友好一半我说汉语的很糟糕。 5. 学习汉字很难。有几千汉字，还很多看起来很像。但是学汉字有个好处：汉字表明词汇的关系。如果你只学拼音，这就是很难看见。 6. 我朋友说，因为我没学习汉字，我在中国是文盲。我只指出照片和东西。这就是我的办法。 7. 即使我是白人，中国人在街上盯我。我来中国的时候，我觉得这很奇怪。但是一个月后，我看见别的外国人的时候，我也盯他们因为看见外国人对我也很奇怪。 8. 我朋友是印度人，他说：中国人觉得我是黑人。我不知道为什么，但是是真的。我有证明因为，在网上有一个广告招聘黑人演员。我给他们发我的照片以后，他们告诉我：“行！” 9. 社会活动，比如KTV或者吃火锅，的目的是看现有的朋友，不是交心的朋友。 10. 人说中国的文化很封闭，但是我觉得这不对。语言比文化是一个障碍。如果你的普通话说的还可以，交朋友不是太难了。 11. 我对中国最喜欢的部分是吃饭。中国菜很繁多，什么都能吃一定在中国有个地方他们吃。你不能用完新菜尝尝。 12. 我们吃过昆虫、皮蛋、臭豆腐。臭豆腐很臭！ 13. 虽然住在中国有缺点，但是有那么多东西可以做、看、吃、经历。中国的文化很丰富。 14. 我很喜欢一个中文词“热闹”，他的英文翻译是差不多 “bustling” 或者 “lively”。这个词介绍中国的生活很多部分：热闹集市或者在公园老年人做太极或者跳舞。 谢谢！May 28, 2014144
