Hello, I'm Kim Jeong Uk from Korea. I'm very interested in learning English and it would be wonderful if I get to talk with English speakers without any difficulties. I also want to help those who are learning Korean. Basically, I like communicating with people from all over the world and listening to their stories. Thank you. Glad to meet you.

It was interesting to hear about things I didn't know and I'm looking forward to learning more about Jeonguk and what he thinks. You made good sentences--all very good, but you can also loosen up a bit and use more casual words too :) Talk to you soon!

Jeong Uk's English is very good considering he's only studied in Korea. Most of his sentences sound natural with very few grammar mistakes, and he's close to fluent in everyday conversation. Though he's not as free with the language as he wants to be, I'm sure he'll get better with more practice in the next few years. Continue with your studies and keep up the good work!

    What it’s like to be an adult The more I age, the less I find myself laughing. As in “laugh so hard that I almost feel dizzy.” I hang out with friends less often that I used to see on a monthly basis. It’s like end of an era. Getting married, having our own family and being tied up at work. That’s how you get through your early 30’s in Korea. And it’s kind of hard to find true friends at your workplace. It’s not like I’ve been falling out with my friends. Let me say “life gets in the way.” Sometimes I miss those days where I would do stupid things with friends.

    Is "Cyber-Bullying" an issue in your country? I'm not sure whether you've heard the news or not, a 25-year-old woman took her life by herself in Korea last week. She was a member of the popular K-pop idol group, f(x), and acted in some TV dramas also. She was a big celebrity with over a million followers spanning several different countries on Instagram. That was a tragedy that must not have happened. Everyone knows what led her to do that. What left her with no choice: "Cyber-bullying." It's been plaguing her for many years. So it got me wondering, "Is this the case in other countries too?" I really want to ask you. Does this thing happen in your country too? Do people commit suicide because of hate comments and cyber-bullying?

    What does 'leads' mean exactly in this sentence? I help serviced based entrepreneurs build magnetic personal brands in order for them to create leads in their sleep. I looked it up in the dictionary, but I still can't get what 'leads' means. Could anyone explain it to me? Thanks in advance.

    Question about "let alone" Do you use "let alone" only in negative contexts? or you also say "let alone" in sentences that have positive connotation? Example 1(negative) : You've forgotten all the anniversaries of ours this year, let alone my birthday! Example 2(positive) : There are great pieces of artwork here, let alone mine. Do you find any of those sentence awkward? Could you shed some light on my understanding of the expression "let alone?"

    Is the opposite of 'used to' 'didn't use to'? When you describe something that you did in the past but not anymore, you say you used to blah blah. Then how do say when you describe something that you didn't do in the past but do these days? Do you say, "I didn't use to blah blah" ?

    You have a point, Angela. That's the beauty of English, I think.

    Do native English speakers use 'upper' as a verb? During my journey, I've noticed that people use 'lower' as a verb many times. But I haven't spotted any case of 'upper' being used as a verb so far. Do people use 'upper' as a verb as well as 'lower'?

    Any difference between (off / off of) ? I live off the money I make from busking. I live off of the money I make from busking Can't take my eyes off you. Can't take my eyes off of you. Does it make a big difference whether you use 'off' or not in those sentences? If so, could you tell me the subtle difference in nuance?
