    First of all, welcome!

     

    It was certainly interesting reading a ...romaji-ised form of korean (for lack of a better term)! Seeing as you wrote it in that form, am I right in assuming you haven't completely learnt the written form yet? If not, you should probably start with that, since hangul is widely recognised for being both systematic and intuitive, making it easier for new students!

     

    A point worth noting is 한국어(hanguk-eo) is the spoken language, whilst 한글(hangul) is the korean written form. (Forgive me if you already know this!)

     

    But moving on to what you wrote...

     

    I couldn't for the life of me get my head around "gusahaji moshaneun" ...perhaps you can help me with that since its probably just me not reading it right :S

     

    But apart from that, I think it was perfect, except maybe the spelling of hanguk, which most people end with a "k" as opposed to a "g" (buuuut lets not be pedantic about the English spelling of korean :D)

    어재 italki에 가입 했어요.

    안녕하십니까. 욕헨입니다.

    저는 독일 사람이지만 슨귀스에서 살아요.
    치과 의사(?) 일 해야하는 이유로 슨귀스에 갔아요.

    말슴을 공부를 해기 촣아요.

    한 달후에 한국으로 갈거라서 이번 달동안 한국 말_ 공부를 했어요.
    하지만 1(pronounced일, not 한)년동안 한국 드라마를 봤어요.

    인터넷에 잘(not too sure what this is, 읽을?) 책 없어요. 

    한국 말나오는 이북이랑 오디오북 추천해 주세요.

     

    A few points:

    While I'm sure most people will understand a phonetically converted "register", the correct term for it is "가입"

     

    I tried to correct it as simply as possible to make it easier to understand.

     

    A few parts I wasn't too sure what you were saying so I took my best guess.

     

    You seem to be very good at forming the words in your head, but have a few problems with spelling them correctly, probably because of your mainly auditory learning experience through dramas and other media.

     

    I wasn't sure about 슨귀스...could you have meant 스위스?

    Much like how the letter "y" acts as a vowel in words (wherein they behave as an "i" sound), such as in yvonne, or city, the letter "u" can act as a consonant in words too. Keep in mind that the phonetic definition of vowel and consonant is how the sound is produced in terms of obstruction of the vocal tract. The exact term for this particular pronunciation of u is a palatal approximant, which is for all intents and purposes, a consonant.

     

    I hope this made sense :/

    I don't see anything particularly wrong with it, except that it would be considered a modern(ish) phrase? It definitely makes sense, and I'm sure most people wouldn't have any trouble understanding it!

    doesnt "that" have more specificity attached to it? like as opposed to cheese in general, it would be a specific one that is physically there and youre talking about that one...so if we keep using the cheese analogy, instead of any cheese in the supermarket, its the specific cheese at a function that's making you sneeze, perhaps because it is off.. "cheese makes me sneeze" "that cheese on the table over there makes me sneeze" ...just a thought :|

    I think it's always best if you try to learn it based on context, or how it's used in real life situations, so watching Korean media along with subtitles, or even webtoons (manhwa), which offer a better insight into how Korean is used colloquially may help!

    다 아주 비슷해요. 특히 not exactly랑 not quite는 거의 차이가없을정도에여. not really는 표준어라고 생각하시면될것같네여 은근히 귀찮음도 전달되고여
