안녕하세요, 저는 호주 시드니에 온 음악가 임조노라고 합니다! 현재 서울에서 일하고 한국말을 자기 공부하려고 살고있어요. 한국어랑 영어를 같이 연습할수있는 친구들을 만나고 싶어요. 메시지 보내주셔서 같이 얘기해요! Hi there, my name's Jono and I'm a native English speaker from Sydney, Australia. I'd love to make some new friends here on iTalki. We can speak English about any topics you like, and I can help you if you're having trouble with certain things. I'm currently learning Korean, so I'm looking for people I can practice speaking with! Send me a message and let's chat soon :)

I taught Jono once before he went to Korea for a trip, and I could definitely feel a big improvement between now and then. His pronunciation was much smoother, and he made very good basic sentences with good grammar and plus, they sounded natural! His listening was better too, but I would encourage him to focus more on speaking and listening for the next several weeks so that it's easier for him to have conversations later on. Great work and keep going! 오늘 너무 잘했어요~^^

    듣다 and (으)ㄹ 수 있다 I'm a little confused on how to put these together properly. I want to say 'can you hear (me speaking)?' as if in a phone call. The ㄷ irregular is what's confusing me here, which one is correct? 들 수 있다 OR 들을 수 있다 OR ??? Thanks!

    Same as here in Australia, we say open-minded. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say 'broad-minded'.

    Not sure if it still runs these days, but there was a show I was obsessed with a few years back called 'Mock the Week' with Dara Ó Briain and various other comedians.

    They are basically the same thing. They can be used interchangeably

    Just to add to David's correction:

     


    And I know about a lot of previous scientifical studies that talked about this.

    My favorite is the nut that comes of from the caju fruit. Caju is my favourite fruite and guess what ... my favourite nut is the caju nut :)

     

    Note: You spelt 'favourite' 2 different ways! Both are correct depending on whether you're using British English or American English, but you should pick one way and stick with it.

    They pretty much mean the same thing. I think the only difference is when you're talking about alternative meanings. For example "turned on" can be another way to say 'aroused', whereas "switched on" can mean someone is very attentive. eg. 'That attractive young lady turned me on' 'Billy is switched on today, he answered all the questions correctly!'

    I have been living in Saigon for 3 years for University.

    I have been living in Saigon for 3 years to study at University.


    There are 2 seasons in Saigon: not spring summer fall winter but dry season and rainy season.


    This time should have been be rainy season in Saigon, but it's very hot and doesn't often rain.

    It should be rainy season right now, but in Saigon it's very hot and doesn't often rain.


    Actually I don't like rain. I don't like wearing a raincoat during when going outside, and I hate when I have my clothes dried outside and it rains suddenly.

     

    but it'd better not be hot like that <---- not exactly sure what this means, but I'll guess:

    But it's better than being hot.

     

    It's midnight now and I have a fan being directed toward me but I still feel so hot.

    I wish there was an air-conditioner here.

     

    I will go to my hometown Nhatrang in next 2 weeks.

    I'm going to my hometown Nhatrang in 2 weeks.

     

    I heard My mom said that it was very hot there too. However, at least I have an air-conditioner at my house, so it'll be alright.

    My mom said that it was very hot there too, but at least there's an air-conditioner there so it'll be alright.

     

    I will go there with my friends for travelling.

    I'll be travelling there with my friends.


    I hope our trip will be fun and we will have a good time there.
