I'm Jihye, 29 years old and I'm from Korea. I was looking for a better way to improve my English better than practicing by myself then I found Italki. So I would like to meet someone who can help me with English and of course everyone is welcome. Sharing cultures, daily experiences and being good friends further on sound nice too. I'm hoping to meet someone to help each together with languages seriously. Teaching each other a few words a day through any way, helping each other with pronunciation, etc. Also if you are interested in Korea and need help with Korean, I can help you. Although my English is not very good, I will try my best to get you understood. :) I want to travel UK or Spain and Portugal next summer. So it will also be nice to meet someone from there..:) I'm not here for a relationship.

    Tiredness No matter how much I sleep, I can never seem to get enough of sleep. I'm exhausted. I've been like this for a long time. I easily get tired. A day is passing by and I've slept the whole day. Weekend is almost over and another week is coming. I have to wake up. I need to recharge my battery.

    Mayfly Why do my brains make dramas everytime? It's useless. Even before I start to think about something, it's the brains that turn me into a monster or a silly. I want to free myself but it's the most hardest. I'm a mayfly that only lives for a day or a moment. Don't know how I will be like the next day, the next moment.

    How can I learn the nuances of various expressions in English? I realized there are lots of expressions that have difference nuances. I always have a hard time wanting to understand the nuance. How can I improve it? And also, I have another question. What's the difference between "comprehension" and "understanding"? Thank you in advance..!

    Difference between "looking forward to", "look forward to" and "looking to" Hello I wonder if there's any difference between "looking forward to" and "look forward to". And also, what's the usage of "looking to"? Does it have exactly the same meaning as "looking forward" and "look forward to"? Thank you in advance :)

    Cat around my office Yesterday on my way to home after I finished work, I met a cat near the bus stop. It was the second time I met him. It was raining a bit and I saw him eating grass. I felt pity for him. I told him not to eat it because it might hurt his tummy. At the same time, I thought of going to a convenience store near by and buy some snack or food for a cat. But also I realized my bus was about to come in 4 minutes so I couldn't. I told him that I'm sorry and he knows my office as we first met each other there about a month ago (I hope he remembers it), so I would give him some food if he comes to see me tomorrow. But he hasn't come. Today it's raining all day long. I just went out to the bus stop and the grass area to see if he's there but I couldn't see him. Where would he be? Yesterday I talked to him till the bus came. When I said "miao miao", he said "miao" too. I'm not sure if it was just a coincident but we did that more than 5 times! "miao" "miao" And I carefully handed over my hand and said "would you like to give me your hand?". And he gave me his hand..!! And he closed his eyes towards me pretty many times. I heard when a cat closes his eyes, it means a kiss. It was so joyful. Hi, friend. I'm waiting for the day I meet you again. I will get you some food and water. Take care till then. I hope you don't eat something not good for your health.

    Wow, first of all, I'm impressed. Your Korean is good and also your note made me think. Actually I have the same problems.

    You seem to have a wide range of vocabulary and your word spacing is good too. Much better than mine! I really like your writing. 

    I tried to correct your sentences more natural. 


    -> 소통의 5원칙 중에 존중을 가장 잘합니다.

    상대방의 의견을 동의하지 않아도 그의 입장을 이해하기 위해 정말 애쓰고 저의 의견을 강요하지 않습니다.

    -> 상대방의 의견에 동의하지 않아도 그의 입장을 이해하기 위해 정말 애쓰고 저의 의견을 강요하지 않습니다.

    경청, 진실, 조화 또는 총체성도 잘 할 수 있지만 솔직히 말하면 다른 큰 문제가 있는 것 같습니다.

    -> 경청, 진실한 태도, 조화를 이루려는 노력, 총체성을 파악하는 것도 잘할 수 있지만 솔직히 말하면 다른 큰 문제가 있는 것 같습니다.

    제 문제는 반응하는 겁니다. 어렸을 때부터 그랬는데 경청 열심히 해도 말로 반응할 때는 너무나 어색하고 말을 더듭니다.

    -> 제 문제는 반응하는 것입니다. 어렸을 때부터 그랬는데,  경청을 열심히 해도 말로 반응할 때는 너무나 어색하고 말을 더듬습니다.

    반응만 더 잘하면 소통 천제적으로 훨씬 더 잘 할 수 있을 것 같습니다. 따라서 말로 반응하는 것이 더 자연스럽게 할 수 있기 위해 나만의 원칙을 2가지 생각해봤습니다.

    -> 반응만 더 잘하면 소통을 전체적으로 훨씬 더 잘할 수 있을 것 같습니다. 따라서 말로 반응하는 것을 더 자연스럽게 할 수 있기 위해 나만의 원칙 두 가지를 생각해봤습니다.

    첫번째는 비언어입니다. 당연히 말로도 반응해야 되지만 아주 자연스러운 비언어로 말과 같이 하면 훨씬 더 나을 것 같습니다.

    -> 첫 번째는 비언어적 표현입니다. 당연히 말로도 반응해야 되지만 아주 자연스러운 비언어적 표현을 말과 같이 이용하면 훨씬 더 나을 것 같습니다.

    두번째는 말하기 전에 제대로 생각하고 싶습니다. 저는 어색하지 않기 위해서 생각 없이 대답 빨리 하고 그 후에는 ’어? 이거 아닌데..’라고 생각하거나 그냥 ’그렇구나..’ 라고 하는 경우가 많기 때문입니다.

    -> 두 번째는 말하기 전에 제대로 생각하고 싶습니다. 저는 어색하지 않기 위해서 생각 없이 대답을 빨리 하고 그 후에는 '어? 이게 아닌데..' 라고 생각하거나 그냥 '그렇구나..'라고 생각하는 경우가 많기 때문입니다. 

    상대방의 이야기 경청하기 후에는 아주 짧은 시간동안 열심히 생각하고 더 진심으로 반응 주고 싶습니다. 또는 그 짧은 시간동안 비언어로 ’당신 말한 것에 대해 진심으로 생각한다’ 보여주고 싶습니다.

    -> 상대방의 이야기를 경청한 후에는 아주 짧은 시간동안 열심히 생각하고 더 진심으로 반응해 주고 싶습니다. 또는 그 짧은 시간동안 비언어적 표현으로 '당신이 말한 것에 대해 진심으로 생각하고 있다'라고 보여주고 싶습니다.
