It was good to see Amanda again, and she remembered a lot from our earlier lessons :) Good work yesterday and see you again soon!

It's wonderful to see Amanda talk more in Korean and in longer sentences too! It was a good idea to have Jewel just help a teeny bit on the side ;)

We've come quite far since we started and yes, despite the two week gap, Amanda remembered a lot of what she learned previously :) And next week, we'll learn more about families! Have fun reviewing and trust yourself to know & understand what you're learning!

    "of" or "for" are both good.

    "to" makes no sense.

    "for" would be used like "to do smt for sbd"

    ex. Can you do my homework for me?

    ex. Please sign this card for your grandmother for me.

    (The first "for" indicates the recipient of the card. The second "for" shows who you are doing the favor of signing the card for/who asked you to sign the card for your grandmother)

    ex. Could you tie my shoelace for me?

    "filling" means something that makes you feel full quickly.

    And please write in 한글.

    To use 안 would mean you speak Korean poorly by choice^^ You mean 못.

    One of the ways to say you can't speak/use Korean well is "한국어를 잘 못해요."


    Also, I'll take some native opinions here, but the first sentence sounds a bit off to me. I was trying to keep the corrections simple.

    Perhaps 할래요 instead? 

    Or 한국어 공부하는 사람들은?

    ---

    You did really well! I hope you learn from the corrections you receive, and I hope to see more from you soon :)

    Yes, italki has many functions^^

    Welcome back!!

    (너는) 영어를 공부하면 스카이프로 이야기(or: 말 or: 대화)하고 싶어요? 친하게 지내(세)요 (or: 우리 친구해요)? 미안해요. 저는 한국어를 잘 못해요.


    너 is kind of informal and casual and used you people younger/the same age/status as you, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend using it^^

    (으)면 is a grammar point expressing the conditional...aka "if". So..."if you're studying English..."

    Skype is spelled 스카이프.

    (으)로 is used to show a means (and has other uses)...aka "with" or "by". So..."talk on/through/with/via/by Skype".

    스카이프를 이야기하다 wouldn't make sense. You're talking the Skype? Actually, 이야기하다 is a 하다 verb so it's really "이야기를 하다". What you're doing (하다) is chatting (이야기), not Skype.

    이야기하다 - tell a story, chat

    말하다 - talk

    대화하다 - converse

    "Let's be friends" is "친하게 지내요" or "친구 해요" for example.

    미안해요 was misspelled, no biggie.

    I think by 조은 you meant 좋은. However, that means "good" (an adjective). You mean "good" as we frequently misuse it in English - which is to mean "well" (We say "you did good" but we really mean "you did well"). "Well" is 잘 (an adverb).

    이야기하다 is a bit different than 말하다...you seem to like using it^^

    Also, 안 means "don't" and 못 means "can't".

    I'll add some of my own ideas: The particle "을" after 것 is wrong. It should be 이. 것이 can be shortened to 게. 을/를 is used with 좋아하다 but 이/가 is used with 좋다. Further, as Oya sorta pointed out, there are set expressions for "What should I do". Hmm...I can't think right now...어떻게 해야 하죠? for example. Or 할까요? Or 하나요? Those are all right.

    There is a word that sounds like "음료식" (that is) used to refer to "죽" (porridge). (I know) it's not 음료수, but I don't know exactly how it's written. Someone please tell/help me! (Just trying to help, not be rude :))

    You would have to make an adverbial phrase to describe the main noun. Focus on meaning, not translations. It would actually be better translated as "that" (the city that i live in...) not "where" (so as not to mix them up if you are trying to be literal). So you would be using ㄴ/은/는/을/ㄹ. Too many times people assume one word with different meanings will function the same way in Korean. But Korean's meaning comes moreso from grammar than words.

    Also, "where" is simply 어디. Additionally, it can be used in declarative sentences, not just interrogative ones.
