    나는 부럽다. 진짜 부럽다.

    행복이 뭔데? 나는 그게 설명하기 복잡하다는 걸 안다. 우리 가족은 돈이 많지 않은데도 나는 대학교에 다닐 수 있고 매일 먹고 싶은 밥을 먹을 수 있는 것도 좋다.

    그래도 행복이 뭔지 모르겠다.

    어제 한국에서 온 친구를 만나서 같이 이야기했다. 그 사람은 독일을 정말 마음에 들어하는데 갑자기 나는 한국이 그립고 아버지랑 같이 마시는 게 그립다고 했다. 그 말을 들은 순간에 나는 내 생활에 없는 걸 알았다. 고향… 가족… 고향으로 생각하는 곳.

    나는 가족이 있기는 있는데, 엄마는 매일 일하시고 나는 아버지와 거의 친하지 않다. 아버지와 이야기를 별로 안 하고 내가 대학교에 다니는 도시로 이사했을 때부터는 전화도 한 번 안 했다. 아버지는 바쁘시다. 나도 바쁘다.
    나는 한국학을 전공하고 있다. 그래서 매일 한국인들을 본다. 내가 만난 한국사람들이 처음 독일로 올 때에는 보통 나중에 외국으로 이사하고 싶어한다. 그런데 2~3개월쯤 독일에 살고 나면 갑자기 귀국하고 싶어한다. 왜? 나도 궁금했다. 내가 물어보면 그들은 가족, 고향, 한국 친구들, 한국어, 한국문화가 너무 그립다고 대답한다.

    나는 그 말을 거의 못 믿겠다. 우리는 우리나라를 사랑하면 안 된다. 왜? 독일이기 때문이다. 역사 때문에. 어렸을 때부터 그런 말을 들어서 나중에는 그 말을 믿는다. 우리는 그리운 고향이 있으면 안 된다. 한국인에게는 그런 게 있어서 나는 부럽다. 진짜 부럽다.

    그들은 파티하거나 같이 요리해서 밥을 먹을 때 보통 소주를 마시고 한국말만 한다. 그래도 그 한국인들은 한국이 너무 그립다고 한다. 나는 그런 말을 들을 때 기분이 많이 나빠진다. 부러워서.
    고향… 가족… 그리운 곳. 돌아가고 싶은 곳. 나는 그런 게 없었다. 없다. 없을 것이다.

    =======

    여러가지 생각을 하게 하는 글이네요. 한국어 정말 잘하세요. 잘 읽었습니다.

    글을 자연스럽게 수정해보려고 했어요.

    아버지랑 -> '랑'과 '와'는 거의 비슷한 뜻인데, '랑'은 더 친밀하게 느껴지고 대화할 때 더 많이 사용해서 '와'로 고쳤습니다.

    나는 준비 하려 노력해서 그런 말을 들을 때 기분이 많이 나빠진다. -> 이 문장에서 '준비하려 노력해서' 부분을 이해하지 못했어요. 뜻을 알려주시면 다시 첨삭해 드릴게요!

    Journal #4 It was awfully hot day. It seems like temperature is getting hotter and hotter over the years. The highest temperature of today was over 34 degrees Celsius. I drenched with sweat. I think I can't survive this summer without an air conditioner. Summer vacation is coming soon but I have no plans to go outside. Instead, I'm going to stay cool inside my house with the air conditioner turned on. I'll eat a watermelon with ice and lie down while watching TV. I think it's the best way to enjoy a crazy summer like this.

    Journal #3 I'm into watching baseball games from last year. There is a pro-baseball team in my hometown, which was founded recently. I naturally cheer for my home team. In this year's league, my team is now in second place. I always watch baseball games broadcast on TV and check the news. Today was same as usual. I was watching today's game, and my team's starting pitcher lost 3 points during the first inning. I was really pissed off, so immediately quit watching the game. However, few hours later, my brother said "Hey! The bases are loaded with one out!" I rushed to my room and stood in front of the TV. The next hitter was up to bat. And he hit a grand slam! My team turned the game, so I shouted for joy. My team was winning by a score of 6 to 5. But that excitement was only short lived and I started to be nervous. Because we were ahead of only one point. Fortunately, other hitters got more points during the following innings, so finally my team won the game. It was such a thrilling game.

    Journal #2 I take a driver training course these days due to driver's license test. This afternoon, I drove on the street for the first time. I got nervous so I made lots of mistakes. When I turned left or right, I couldn't keep the lanes. Also I couldn't stay center in the lane. I kept moving the steering wheel. In addition, there were many large trucks which blocked my view. Sometimes I couldn't even see the traffic lights. After finishing the class, my driving instructor asked me how I had felt while driving. I answered I was so afraid of traffic accidents. Then she laughed and said "Well, didn't you enjoy the speed? If you were afraid of it, you wouldn't pressed that hard on the accelerator." Oh my gosh. I didn't even notice about the speed. Now I'm worried to death of the driving test. Could I pass the test? I definitely need more practices. I'm going to take more courses tomorrow, and It'll be 3 hours driving; keeping my fingers crossed.

    Journal #1 I joined italki the day before yesterday. The first day of italki, no one send me a message. It makes me little disappointed. But this morning, I figured out why people didn't send me any messages. That's because I didn't write down my profile. After I post my profile picture and note, people started to send me messages. Wow, finally people start to recognized me! Actually I'm still not used to using this site, so It takes long time to reply others messages. Sometimes I don't even notice I got messages or not. I'm going to search for italki android app. If it's more convenient than a website, I'll definitely use app. I hope I would improve my language skills here, and made lots of new friends as well.

    About hobby I like taking pictures the most; it’s the best way to relieve stress. I also love traveling. So when I go on a trip, I always bring my camera to shoot landscapes.
