I will take all the help I can get! If you're Korean and willing to help me, I would be forever thankful, and I will help you with your English, if you want! I also love making new friends from different cultures! So if you just want to improve your English in any way, message me and I'll be happy to talk to you! :) 안녕하세요! 제 한국 이름은 하은이에요. 미국에 사는 대학 2년생이에요. 올해 여름에 한국에 여행하고 내년 봄에 공부하러 한국에 갈 거에요. 새로운 친구들을 사귀는 것을 좋아해요! 메시지 보내주세용! ^^

She is very passionate about learning Korean. I feel like her passion even we just have one session together. We talked about food, whether, family and hobbies etc.

    What does this expression mean (Korean)? 안녕하세요! I was texting my Korean friend and I told her I'm going to Korea next week, so she said "기대하구이따!" I know 기대하다 means to expect/look forward to, but I'm not sure of the entire meaning of the expression. 도와 주셔서 감사합니다!!!

    Sports festival

    Today and yesterday my school had a sports festival. It was very exciting. I like to play sports.* I ate ice cream and bread.
    It was very fun and the food was delicious.


    *You could connect these sentences using "because": It was very exciting because I like to play sports.


    잘 했어요! :)

    I agree with Manuchehr. Studying, or at least being exposed to the language every day is key. Also, I think another key is never skipping over material you don't think you'll need to know. If you come across a word you don't know, look it up immediately or write it down for future reference. I used to skip over words I didn't know and say to myself "oh I'll learn that later when I'm more advanced". Why not learn it now?

    I think both "on" and "with" are correct. But by using "on", I think the action of her entering the numbers is emphasized more. It's a very subtle difference, though.

    Advantages of writing

    I like to write something. I am trying to keep write in my diary everyday. Even though what I write is very short, but I like writing about my feelings.* Sometimes I am sad, and sometimes I am happy. I think to write writing in a diary when I am sad is good for me. It helps me to calm down. To tell my feeling to someone is nice way.(?**) However, maybe it will it might be very hard for me. So l think to keeping a my diary is good.

    *You don't need to use both "even though" and "but" in the same sentence.
    **무슨 말이에요? Not sure what you mean here.

    영어를 잘해요! 저도 일기를 쓰기 좋아해요.ㅎㅎ :)

    Their meanings are very similar, and English speakers often mix them up, but there are some differences. 

    "Can" has more to do with ability. ex: Can you ride a bike? Can you play guitar? Can you hear me? 

    "Could" has more to do with probability/possibility. ex: It could rain today. We could see a movie later. 

    "Could" can also be used as the past tense of "can". ex: I could hear you before, but now I can't. 

    "May" has to do with permission. You use it if you are asking someone else if they will let you do something. ex: May I leave now? May I use the restroom? May I speak with you? 

    There might be some usages I left out, but generally these are the main differences. I hope this helped!

    Anyone else struggle with speaking the most?

    I've been learning Korean off and on for a couple years but only seriously began studying about 8 months ago. Although I have a lot of Korean friends and plenty of resources to practice, speaking is SO hard for me! Reading and writing is very easy, and even listening isn't that hard. But for some reason, when it comes to speaking, one or two words is all I ever end up saying. It's just frustrating because I have a pretty large vocabulary, but I sound like a beginner. Some of my Korean friends make fun of me sometimes because I never speak, yet I always know what they're talking about, hahaha

    I was just wondering if anyone, no matter what language you're learning, has struggled with this. And if you have... how did you overcome it? 

    Thanks 감사합니다! :)

    2016년 1월 13일 일기 이번주에 정말 바빴어요. 월요일에 대학교 학기가 시작했어요. 저는 이번학기에 작문, 수학,역사학이랑 심리학을 들어요. 지금까지 수업들이 쉬워요. 역사학 교실에서 심리교실까지 걷기가 너무 힘들어요. 요즘 날씨가 너무너무 춰서 밖에 걷기 삻어요. 요즘 눈이 많이 와요. 눈이 예쁘지만 눈이 올떼 밖에 가고 싶지 않아요. 오을은 제 엄머니 생신이에요. 저는 저 엄마를 위해 전녁식사를 준비했어요. 저녁 먹은 다음에 초코렛케이크를 먹겄어요. 맛있었어요! 오늘은 좋은 하루예요. 다음주 매일에 제 친구를 뮤지컬 예행연습에 태워 줘요.* 제 친구가 연습하면서 저는 극장에서 자원하거나 숙제할 거에요.** *Next week I'm giving my friend a ride to musical rehearsal every day. (제 한국어 문장이 맞아요?) **While my friend is rehearsing, I will volunteer at the theater or do homework. (^^)
