안녕하세요, 저는 김 중수 라고 합니다. 현재는 영어를 익히는 중인데, 나중에는 다른 언어들도 하나씩 늘리고 싶어요. 저는 언어습득을 위해서 유투브에서 문화를 비교하거나 새로운 문화에 대한 동영상을 보는 것을 좋아합니다. 감사합니다. Hello, I'm Joongsoo Kim and I'm from Korea. I'm interested in learning English now, but more languages will be included on my bucket list. I really enjoy watching the videos related to cultural differences or novelties from other cultures on Youtube for language acquisition. I'm so open-minded that you don't hesitate to send me a message. Thank you.

    한국어 문장들

    안녕하세요!
    평소처럼, 요즘당장  배우고 있는 문법 과 단어로 좀 문장 썼어요 !

    I was talking to my friend and someone suddenly fell over
    제 친구와 얘기하다가 어떤 사람은 갑자기 떨어졌네요!

    I can't get the meaning of "fall over".

    Do you mean that you saw someone lost his balance and collapsed to the ground?

    Then, "제 친구와 얘기하다가 어떤 사람이 갑자기 넘어지는 것을 보았어요."


    The grammatical structure is really important in English
    영어 문법적인 구조순서는 무머척 중요해요

    What should I use that word in this particular situation?
    특히 이런 경우에는 이 특정 상황은 그 단어를가 어떻게 써야 될됄까요?

    "이 특정 상황은" is not wrong in grammar, but I rephrase it to sound more natural.


    The place where I'm currently living is quite convenient because there's loads of shops around.
    요즘 살고 있는 장소가 꽤 편리하니까 해요. 왜냐하면 주변에 가게가 많거든요


    When I met my older brother last Wednesday we ate 김밥, 삼겹살, and 샤브샤브.
    지난 수요일에는 형하고 만났을 때, 김밥이랑 삼겹살이랑 샤브샤브까지 많이 먹었어는데요.

    We have to decide which order to answer the questions before next week
    다음 주번 전에는 그 질문을 어느 순서로 대답해야 한 것으로 결정해야 돼요 (대답해야 돼는지 결정해야 돼요? this sounds natural) are both ways okay?

    I have to choose between the best and worst song, but it's not a straight forward decision to make.
    최고하고 최악의 곡 최고인 하고 최악인 곡국은 중에서 골라야하지만 쉬운 직설적인 결정이 아니예요

    도와주셔서 감사합니다! :)

    작은 뱀에 관한 짧은 이야기, 둘째 날

    작은 뱀에 관한 짧은 이야기, 둘째 날

    뱀이 돌아왔다!

    그것은 수풀 아래의 같은 장소에서 다시 그물에 얽혀있다.

    이 얼마나 어리석은 뱀! (or 이 얼마나 어리석은 뱀이란 말인가!  a slightly archaic expression)

    오, 안돼! 그것은 전혀 움직이지 않는 것처럼 보인다.

    이제 실제로 죽었이다!

    윽! 나 자신을 차고있어! [Is there a Korean colloquial expression for regret?]

    아! 나 자신이 원망스럽다. (I hate myself so)

    왜 나는 어제 뱀을 잡았을 때 붙잡고 모든 그물을 끊어놓지 않았는가?!?!

    나는 작고은 흔한 가터뱀을 너무 두려워해서는 안된다.

    나는 너무 끔찍한 느낌. [Is there an equivalent expression in Korean for feeling bad about oneself?]

    가슴이 너무 아프다. (It breaks my heart)


    큰 새가 뱀을 데리러 와서 물어가져 가길 바래.

    죽은 뱀을 숲으로 가져가는 도움이 필요해. (There's no grammatical error, but we don't say like this)

    누군가 죽은 뱀을 숲으로 가져가 주었으면 좋겠어. (I hope someone should take the dead snake away to the forest.)


    A Short Story About a Little Snake, Day 2
    The snake came back! It’s in the same place under the bush, entangled in the netting again! What a stupid snake! Oh no, it doesn’t look like it’s moving at all. Now it’s actually dead! Argh, I’m kicking myself. Why didn’t I hold the snake down yesterday and cut off all the netting?!?! I should not have been so afraid of a little common garter snake. I feel so terrible. I hope a big bird will come pick up the snake and take it away. I need help taking the dead snake away to the forest.


    안녕하세요, 에이미!

    글을 잘 쓰시네요! 한국에서는 숲 속으로 깊이 들어가지 않으면 경험하기 힘든 흥미로운 내용입니다.

    도움이 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

    Unexpected Help It will be such a fascinating event if you get to contribute to others who you even don't know. To be honest, as some people around me get by on their unsatisfactory salary, few of them look like to afford to help out others. In other words, I guess many people are losing their chances to share something because they think they don't have time or money resources to spare. I had thought that social media is one of the biggest causes that makes people waste their precious time. However, when I got a gratitude from a stranger in the social media site where I used to drop by and write experiences of my own, I realized that even an effort for myself sitting on my desk could help others and it makes me thrilled.

    Don't Get Nervous Lots of people feel fear which sparks extreme tension when they speak in public. Although they are not standing in front of audiences to speak, if they have to speak in a foreign language, they could be strained as well. Back in the beginning of learning spoken English, I completely got nervous when I talk face to face with a native speaker, even though I believed that speaking one foreign language is quite challenging for everybody. My English speaking skill has been obviously improved for the past 6 months and I believe that I have a decent amount of confidence now, but still, sometimes I get strained when I speak in English. Why? I guess that one primary reason I was tensed up is the gap between the reality and the ideal related to my spoken English. In particular, when it comes to the conversation topic that I get used to, it usually was in Korean not in English and the fact got me thinking seriously. It is important that precise awaring my skill rather than setting a lofty goal to take in myself and to overcome the tension. I do not have to make myself hard to impress others.

    Pet peeves at my office I have a few office pet peeves that occasionally happen around me. One of the worst pet peeves I've been encountering is a sound of someone else typing on his/her keyboard. I am a little bit of guilty of making that kind of noise, but what bothers me is the sound of the special keyboard. There are different types of software engineers around me and a few of them are stuck to their own keyboards which are able to make loud clacking sounds. The worst of all I can not understand, at times, they work quietly during working hours and break a silence at lunch time! Actually, this may not that serious annoying thing in the workplace and it is not holding a high rank in the list of biggest pet peeves when I typed in google.

    Doing Nothing Just relaxing or doing nothing has been pretty hard for me since I had two of adorable kids and had to more work than before. That so unnerves me that I need to do anything instead of doing nothing. One reason I guessed in a positive way was that the value of spending an hour is totally different than I had when I was a just student or a single. The last week was the great chance to take annual leave for alternating holidays in Korea. I had been longing for the week floating on air with building a bunch of plans for spending my free time. Best of all, my family enjoyed a memorable excursion at the east coast of my country and it had been a while after I communicated with them enough. Obviously, it was worth to make me feel refreshment enough, however, I was still ungratified a bit after having fun though. Then after a while, I came to realize myself was eager to relax. Honestly, I believed doing nothing is just wasting time and unproductive, but it actually makes me be more creative and productive in a long term.

    Experimenting with different emotions and different ways to express reasons...

    I am happy because it's sunny.
    나는 날씨가 화창하기 때문에 행복해요

    → (나는) 날씨가 화창해서 기분이 좋아요.

    I am sad because I'm single.
    나는 슬프거든요. 미혼흔이에요.

    → 저는 아직 미혼이라서 슬퍼요.

    I am tired because I drink too much coffee.
    나는 피곤해요 왜냐하면 너무 커피를 많이 마셔요.
    (I drink so much it doesn't work any more and my adrenals are shot haha) 

    I strongly recommend you decaffeinated coffee by Swiss water-processed :-)


    I am angry because I am tired. (I am tired therefore/so I am angry.)
    나는 지쳐서 화가 나요.

    I am excited because soon I will go to Busan!
    나는 흥분되해요! 곧 부산에 갈거예요!

    ("나는 흥분해요" sounds like you're getting angry. You can say, "나는 신나요! 곧 부산에 가거든요")


    I am nervous because there is too much to do.
    나는 할 일이 너무 많아서느라고 불안해요.

    I hope you put the reason between "할 일 이 많다" and "불안하다" as following

     → 나는 할 일이 너무 많아서 (약속을 못 지킬까봐) 불안해요.

    I am bored because all my friends are busy.
    친구들이 다 바빠서 다 친구를 바쁜으로 말미암아 심심해요.


    I suggest you write independent clause first and dependent one last. We usually say the conclusion at the end of the sentence.

    공정하지 않습니다.

    매일 내 미래에 대한 생각을 해요. 이제 기분이 진짜 우울해져요지다. 너무 슬펐어요. 오늘도까지 언어(한국어)를 공부해요. 언제쯤이면 언어(한국어)를 잘 할 수 있을까요? 지금 부터 언재 까지 언어를 잘 못 해요? 내가 어떻게 번역가를 되지 이라면 언어를 못 배우야?(I'm sorry. I don't get it.) 큰 소리로 하늘에 도움을 청하고싶어요. 왜냐하해나면 마음이 아파요. 스트레스를 받아았어 아파요. 또도 다른 사람과 같이 공부할때는했으면 영어만 공부하고 싶어요. 왜? 왜 내가 하고싶은 언어인데 공부를 안할까요? 를 공부싫어요? 저도 공부하고 싶어. 더 이상 영어 선생님이되고 싶지 않습니다. 사람들이 저로부터 배울 것이 없다고 느끼거나 존중하지 않는다면, 저를 배울 존경하지 않을 것이라는 의미라면. 아무도 나를 도우려고 하지 않기 때문에 저나는 결코 발진전 할 수 없어요다. 더 이상 영어 선생님이되고 싶지 않아요습니다. 


    "너무 슬펐어" is so natural, but I've just corrected it by ending with "~요" which is the style you started with in your article.

    That's too bad if you're feeling bad in learning a language. Keep your chin up! I'd like to say that learning Korean is a quite challenging thing to the people in English speaking country. In addition, I believe "want" is not same as "like". Listen to your inner voice and never harsh on yourself. Let's say, you've caught a cold now, so you'll be better a few days later.

    Goosebumps While I was watching the live stage performed by a famous female singer a few months ago, I was mesmerized by her enchanting voice and her powerful high note. Back then, I used to get goosebumps without sick of listening to the singing over and over again, though. In the last weekend, I experienced aesthetic chills again watching the video. I've wondered why I get to experience that kind of bizarre phenomenon. According to an article I found out, some scientists have suggested that goosebumps are an evolutionary holdover from our ancestors and human beings keep themselves warm through endothermic layer beneath the hairs of their skin. When we feel a steep change in temperature, we have goosebumps as we temporarily raise and lower our hair to reset the layer of warmth. Granting the idea, Do we feel rapid temperature difference when we listen to the music that contains unexpected high notes or emotionally touching stimuli? To be honest, I don't wonder its exact reason but think it's just wonderful. In particular, this experience is also known as "skin-gasms" which is actually the lovable expression to me.
