My name is Brooke although my Korean name is Ye Eun. It was given to me by some friends when I was first starting to learn the language. I only began to study and learn Korean last April of 2013. I know more of grammar than vocabulary though I'm hoping to improve on the latter. I'd like to find language partners either studying Korean as well or someone whose native language is Korean and wishes to learn English. I, too, would like to make use of the Diary function here to practice my Korean and receive any corrections/advise from others. I first was introduced to Korean about five years ago via a movie I happened to find. I really enjoyed it and went on to find more, mainly of Dramas. I had never watched anything that held my attention for so long and with so many good titles with amazing music and stunning scenary that I continued to watch more and more over the coming years. Finally I stumbled upon variety shows in Korean that showed hangul on the screen. This was what prompted me to begin my studies as I began to find a correlation between the characters and sounds. Studying the language only exposed me to other aspects of Korea, mainly the people. I have spoken with quite a few from South Korea and just recently some locals who enjoy the culture as well. I've made many new friends. As time goes on, I only seem to enjoy the culture and language even more as my understanding of it all grows. I hope to someday be able to visit and possibly live there for a time to take in the culture first-hand.

    서울에 여행하는 체 이야기 방금 서울에서 돌아왔고 이렇게 아직 피곤하는데 모든 거 잊기 전에 서울에 여행하는 이야기를 쓸게요. 여동생이랑 여행 간 그날 새벽 4시에 일어났어요. 비행기는 9시에 출발했고 나는 공항에 일찍 도착하고 싶었거든요. 간 공항에도 1시간반 쯤 차로 걸리고 가러 덴버에 가야 됐어요. 그래서 오랜 운전하는 거 했어요. 비해기에 탑승하기 전에 기장께 여권을 보여 줬고 목적지를 짧은 대화했어요. 기장은 착한 분 같았어요. 기장과 얘기하고 나서 탑승하면서 승무원들에게 짧은 인사해 줬어요. 우리 여동생 일등석에 정말 앉고 싶었는데 너무 비쌌어요. 일등석이 항상 비싸죠. 아무튼 같이 일반석에 우리 좌석을 찾고 앉았어요. 보통 창가 좌석을 좋아하는데 여동생이랑 여행해서 여동생에게 그좌석을 줬어요. 복도 좌석은 싫어서 중앙 좌석에 앉았고 도착까지 잤어요. 그때 동안 아마 7번 일어났고 승무원이 기내식을 줬어요. 기내식은 나쁘지 않아요. 나도 책을 읽어 봤는데 이따가 머리는 아프게 됐어요. 그래서 책을 기내용 가방 안에 넣었고 더 잤어요. 도착에 또 일어났고 여동생이랑 비행기에서 내렸어요. 오랜 시간이 지난 후에 서울에 드디어 도착했어요~!

    제 사촌에게 보내는 편지 린지야~! 어떻게 지냈어요? 오랜만이네요! 린지야 글을 Seoul Beats 웹사이트에서 많이 읽었어요 요즘 뭐 해요? 나는 학기 한 개 동안 한국어 수업을 들었어요 어젠 수업이 드디어 끝났고 시험이 있는데 시험 문제는 별로 안 어렵네요 듣기 너무 어려운 걸 같은데 글로 쓰기 읽기 더 쉽네요 어제도 수업이 끝나고 나서 모두 학생과 선생님들께서 함께 비빔밥을 만들었는데 그건 별로 매운 걸 안 같아서 고추장을 더 필요하다고 생각했어요 린지는? 매운 음식을 좋아해요? 나는 정말 좋아해요! 약 일 년부터는 한국말을 배우기 시작했지만 2008 년부터는 한국 드라마들을 보기 시작했어요 그때부터 한국 문화, 음식, 음악도 좋아하기 시자했어요 그래서 일 년 전에 한국말을 배우기 시작했어요 이런 이 글을 제가 이젠 쉽게 할 수 있어요 그런데 그냥 4 개 월 전에 이런도 글로 쓰지 못했어요 일 년 동안 많이 배웠고 많이 연습했어요 요즘 보통 한국 버라이어티와 리얼리티 쇼들을 좋아하고 봐요 그들 걸 봐 안 봤으면 봐 보세요~! 런닝맨, 슈퍼맨 돌아왔다하고 개그콘서트가 좋네요~ 나는 런닝맨을 보면 많이 웃어요 하여튼 또 너와 애기하고 싶었고 도 빨리 보면 좋겠다 ~~! Lindsay~! How have you been? It's been a long time! I've read a lot of your writings from the Seoul Beats website. What are you up to these days? As for me, I took a Korean class this last semester. Yesterday the class finally finished and I had a test but the questions weren't really that difficult I think. I think hearing is really difficult but reading and writing are much easier. Yesterday, also, after the test finished, all the students and teachers made bibimbap together. I thought it needed more red pepper paste because it wasn't really that spicy. Do you like spicy food? I really love it! Since about one year ago I began learning Korean but from 2008 I've begun watching Korean dramas. From that time I started to like Korean music, food and culture as well. Because of that, one year ago, I started learning Korean. Writing like this I easily can do now. But in this way, also, I couldn’t write just four months ago. I’ve learned so much during the last year and practiced so much. These days I like and watch Korean variety and reality shows usually. If you haven't tried watching them, you should give it a try~! I think Running Man, The Return of Superman and Gag Concert are all good. I laugh a lot when watching Running Man. Anyways, just wanted to talk to you again and it would also be nice to see you soon~!

    크리스마스 맞이하고 새 해 복 많이 받으세요~ 저는 지난 일요일 한국어 수업을 다녔어요. 가기 전에 샤워를 해서 십 분 늦었어요. 아홉 명이 수업에 왔어요. 오후 다섯 시 수업이 끝났고 이후 우리는 선생님들의 집에서 모였어요. 세아 선생님은 맛있을 한국 음식을 요리했어요. 그녀는 잡채, 떢볶이, 김밥, 파전하고 더 요리했어요. 저는 다 좋아한데 떡볶이 특히 더 좋아했어요. 너무 너무 맛있었어요~ 다시 떡볶이 싶어요. 우리는 음악 듣고 이야기를 나눴어요. 세아 선생님은 저에게 책이 줬어요. 저는 오후 열한 시 집에서 갔어요. 집에 가기 눈이 오고 있었어요. 언제 집에서 정말 피곤한데 너무 재미있었어요. 크리스마스 맞이하고 새 해 복 많이 받으세요~ Last Sunday I attended Korean Language class. Before going I took a shower and so I was ten minutes late. Nine people came to class. At 5 P.M. the class finished and after we gathered at our teacher's home. Seah 선생님 cooked delicious Korean food. She cooked japchae, dukkbokki, kimbap and more. I liked it all but in particular I liked the dukkbokki. Was so so delicious~! I want dukkbokki again. We listened to music and shared talk. Seah 선생님 gave me a book. ("세아 선생님 gave me a book to borrow."를 한국말로 어떻게 말해요?) At 11 P.M. going home it was snowing. When at home I was really tired but it was so much fun. Christmas greetings and hope you receive much luck in the new year~!

    Rock-Climbing course for Ewha students

    Every student should know how to overcome their emotional and intellectual limits by themselves. Rock-climbing would teach students how to use the ropes lopes, sling and safety belt. Also it would teach how to knot the lope rope variously and hold the feet and hands. Rock-climbing has a grading system so students also should know what their climbing type is; for example, Top Roping, Hang Dogging Red Point and so no on.

    The university should offer a course on rock-climbing because there are both emotional and intellectual benefits for all students who participate. Students can feel a sense of accomplishment and develop thinking skills. Rock-climbing helps students to successfully finish their goals without giving up. After you they undergo all sorts of hardships and see the route where you they have climbed, you they will satisfy yourself be satisfied with themselves and feel fulfillment.

    This rock-climbing’s These effects of rock-climbing, which you they will feel, also influences your their studying, assignments or even recitals. When you they entered university, you they thought you they would prepare for the PEET exam to be a Pharmaceutical Chemists. However, you they have heard about some students who failed and the difficulty of the subjects, so you they want to give up because you they think your their capacity is not enough to for PEET. However, the feeling that you they felt when you they did rock-climbing will give them courage and confidence so you they will challenge the exam.

    Not only giving feeling of confidence, you they can learn to find a proper solution quickly when you they encounter difficulty by rock-climbing. For example, when you take a math exam, sometimes you don’t have enough time and you can’t find any effective method quickly. However, when you climb, you have to think that which crevice is better than others crevices and what is the shortest course. From start to finish, you have to think because your brain doesn’t want to you to become exhausted. Thus, climbing makes your brain search many methods quickly. As a result you can find a proper solution of for the math problems in time.

    Rock-climbing can give you them courage that makes challenges not an issue and developsment of an ability to solve problems. A student can be confident on in herself because she can attain her goal without abandoning so challenges many times in her life. *She can think of situations so she can solve problems quickly too. Thus, rock-climbing can help Ewha University to cultivate confident and sensible students.

    *= "Even in difficult situations, she will be able to solve problems quickly as well."

    (Sounds more natural to say though the two below might be closer to your original meaning.)

    "She will be able to think of solutions so she'll be able to solve problems quickly as well."

    "She can solve problems quickly due to being able to think of solutions."

    You/yourself/your -> Them/themself/their

    You speak about 'students' and using 'themselves', so you use "them" or "their".

    If you are writing a letter for students to read, then you can use "you, your, and yourself".

    This really depends on who your audience will be. Who you want to write for and who is going to read it.
    I don't know how to write restatements well too.ㅠㅠ

    The angry man and the can

    Corrections are very welcome. Thank you

    The other day I was watching the local news on TV and I watched saw a surprising video.
    To put in situation set the stage (or setting) for the reader, I must to say that in my country, for a year now ago, a well-known drinks beverage company has been making personalized cans. I am not going to say the name of it, but it is a very famed famous one. The only important thing for the story it is you can get a red can with your name. (The only relevance [for the story] is that you can get a red can with your name on it.) []'s =isn't needed but implied.

    The TV news was about a man in a grocery store who has drove was driven crazy because he couldn’t find a tin can* with his name on the shelfs of the shop. He was very angry and started throwing things to at the other customers, insulting them and spoiling the store, so the shop assistant had to call the police.  *= better to use the same word through-out to not confuse the reader.
    When the policemen* arrived, they arrested the guy who was shouting that he was a nice man but he just wanted a can with his name. His name was "Pedro" and he wasn't enable to find one.

    *= Using just "police"is enough. "Policemen" or "police officers" works too but more often people use just "police".

     

    Corrected

    Opinion to sound more natural.

     

    Very interesting story!
