You know how the monks life would be like. They renounce the world and practise asceticism for many years in mountains or temples, so that they can attain elightenment after many many years of that practice. In the process of it, they would go through many temptation, negative feelings and so on. However, they should tolerate and get over all those things to enter into Nirvana (In the Hindu and Buddhist religions, Nirvana is the highest spiritual state that can possibly be achieved) '도를 닦다' means that kind of practice. We use that experession in daily life to express that we've been eduring some unpleasnt situations againist our will or goals, et cetera.. but we cannot just give up on it for some reasons. For example, I have a mean boss, but I cannot quit my job because I have to pay my rent, but whenever I work with him, 도를 닦는 기분이야.

There must be several aplications. Which type of mobile phone do you use, Android or iOS? I've got Ipad and Iphone5. I found there are heaps of free korean novles and some stories in i-book or app store. But you need to sign up for Korean apptore. I haven't used Android but I'm quite sure there are materials since Samsung mobile phones are based on Andriod.

Most of Korean names mean something. Sometimes each syllable of names also have a particular meaning becuase the syllable( a word) is derived from the Chinese letter. so the combination of each words can mean something. However, there are names which can't translate like that way. Because that names or words are pure Korean words. So syllable doesn't have a meaning. In this case, whole word '초아' have a meaning. and the meaning is not a combination of each syllable like 초+아 '초아' means a person who is like a candle. A candle burns its body so it lights surroundings. so it means a person who brighten the world by sacrificing themselves.
