대용 씨와 이야기하는 것이 너무 즐거워요ㅠㅠ 너무 재미있고 새로운 이야기를 항상 해 주니까, 저도 더 넓은 세상을 배우게 되는 것 같아요. 언제나 감사합니다. 그리고 매번 한국어 문법 사용이 능숙해지는 것을 느낄 수 있어요. 이야기를 할 때 계속 알고 있는 단어와 문법을 연습하려고 하는 것이 보여서 너무 좋아요! 대용 씨를 만나서 참 행운입니다 ♡

최대용 씨~ 오늘도 따뜻한 가족 이야기와 김치이야기를 했는데 너무 좋았어요. 깍두기가 독기를 없애는 김치라는 것을 최대용 씨 통해서 알게 되어서 너무 감사해요. 그리고 쓰레기가 아닌 씨레기 국, 동치미, 총각김치... 여러가지 김치의 대한 에피소드를 이야기를 해서 즐거웠습니다. 다음 시간에 왜 총각김치인지 말씀해 드릴께요~~ 즐거운 주말 되시고 다음 주에 봐요!! 감사합니다.

최대용 씨에 이야기가 맞았어요. 아이들은 필리핀 시간으로 밤 10시에서 12시에 게임할 때 제일 재미있다고 하네요. 그리고 최대용씨가 아이들의 마음을 이야기해서 제가 아이들은 더 이해할 수 있었어요. 감사해요~ 더 좋은 것은 아이들이 게임을 지웠으니까 게임을 잠시동안 안 하겠다고 하네요. 이번에 최대용 씨가 아이들하고 이야기하는데 많은 도움이 되었습니다. 감사합니다~

    I heard a Taiwanese term "may song" or "mae sung" and was told that the meaning is similar to "sadness". Could someone help me find the Chinese characters for this phrase and describe it to me?

    The phrase I believe you are looking for is "She's daddy's little girl". Out of the four options you provided, the only correct one would be "She is a rich daddy's girl." and this would be taken as an insult. Other common phrases include "She's daddy's princess" or "She's daddy's little princess". Most of these come with a negative tone in my opinion.

    Thanks Jenny and Will! I actually think the phrase was "안녕하시옵니까" and I got them mixed up. I remember asking about it and it was definitely not used often.

    "안녕하심니까" 언제 쓰기? I remember hearing someone saying "안녕하심니까" somewhere (maybe as a joke?) and I was told that it is extremely formal. When do people use this phrase? Do newscasters use it on TV? 언제든 "안녕하심니까" 듣은 본적이 있어요 (아마 농담으로?) 그리고 뭐라고 물어볼때 최고 존대말 이다고 했어요. 한국분들이 이런말 언제 쓰는 것이 궁금해요. 뉴스 진행자들은 써요?

    It's Been So Long Since I Spoke English-

    I studied English for 12 years when I was a student. I stopped studying English <s>for</s> 10 years ago. Now, I'm trying to brush up on my English. Then, what am I supposed to do?* Obviously, I need to read the books and newspapers which <s>is</s> are written in English. Thankfully, I found the Italki online studying language platform, I like to study here with other foreigners. It's Sunday afternoon, our family is relaxed at home and I'm logging <s>in the</s> on Italki <s>for practicing</s> to practice my English again! I really like Italki. I'm reading some English picture books for myself.** Also, I'm finding some booth design samples for my exhibition booth. <s>It is</s> I am so happy to have my own time at home. Because of <s>the</s> Covid-19, I cannot hang out with my family <s>in</s> outdoors. Listening to the English radio and working <s>at</s> in my room are quite better than I thought.

    * This is pretty colloquial. Another way you could express this is "What am I supposed to do then?"
    ** While "for myself" will be well understood by any reader, the wording feels slightly awkward. 예를 들면, 내가때문에 영어책을 읽고 있어요. <- doesn't make too much sense. You can change it to "I'm reading some English picture books to practice English." 영어를 배우기때문에 영어책을 읽고 있어요.

    Comments <s>of</s> on videos*

    I thought the symbol of Okinawa is simply tropical scenery, beach and blue sea, just like <s>Hawaii islands</s> the Hawaiian Islands. But** after I saw these videos, I found that the most special thing about Okinawa is the fusion of traditional Japanese culture and tropical island style. In the video, there was not only island scenery, but also the Japanese festival, the fireworks in summer and so on.***
    Because of the special location, climate and life style***, the native people <s>in</s> of Okinawa seem<s>s</s> to be open, optimistic and enthusiastic***. The people <s>People</s> in the videos smile<s>s</s>**** brightly and they get together to celebrate their festivals. <s>Both</s> Men, women and children all seem to like to participate in activities, and the relationships between people <s>is</s> are also very close.*****
    And****** I think they may have a deep sense of identity with their culture. As a special part of Japanese culture, they protect their unique culture very well.******* The people in Okinawa are proud of their culture, and hometown consciousness is very strong.
    Okinawa people have some Japanese characteristics, but there are also some differences. Like normal Japanese citizens, they attach great importance to traditional festivals and the bonds between people. They are polite and conservative. At the same time, they are more enthusiastic and open.

    * Titles should be Capitalized. Also I believe you are talking about your personal comments/thoughts on the videos you have watched. Using "comments of videos" suggests that it is the comments found in the comments section of the videos. You might also want to add more context to the title such as "My Comments on the Videos I Have Watched" or replace comments with "My Thoughts on the Videos I Have Watched"
    ** In grade school I was taught to avoid beginning sentences with "But" (however that might not be true). Regardless you can change the "But" to "However," if you would like.
    *** (Personal preference) You can add the oxford comma (..the Japanese festival, the fireworks in summer, and so on.)
    **** Since the subject is a plural (The people), you need to conjugate the verb (smiles -> smiles)
    ***** Since you have three subjects (Men, women, and children), using "Both" (a counter for two objects) should not be used. I added "all" to emphasis the importance of the entire group being involved (as you were trying to do with "Both")
    ****** Same thing as beginning a sentence with "But". You can use "Furthermore," if you would like but the word choice is up to you.
    ******* The prepositional phrase "As a special part of Japanese culture," is followed by the subject that it is modifying. I believe that you are trying to say that the people of Okinawa are what is special about Japanese culture, but then continue to say that they are protecting the unique culture that you previous described them as. While this is not incorrect, it made me reread that sentence and you can choose to reword this if you would like. (As a special part of Japanese culture, the people of Okinawa put great effort in protecting this way of living.) <- is an example but I do not wish to change the spirit of your writing.

    The usage of the word "hype" is correct here. Sounds very natural!

    Brandon is correct and they all basically mean the same thing, but there are subtle differences. In order of colloquial to formal (my opinion): Sort of, somewhat, pretty, rather, fairly "Sort of" and "somewhat" implies that are only partially the description (e.g. "She is sort of pretty" and "She is somewhat pretty" would be taken negatively and the girl would be offended). "Pretty", "rather", and "fairly" means that they fit the description in a greater sense (e.g. "She is pretty smart" and "She is fairly smart" would be taken positively and the girl would be happy). "Pretty" seems to be more positive and "rather"/"fairly" are a little more neutral.
