こんにちは!私はキャサリンと申します。(ケイト、ケイティー、キャットとか読んでもいいです。)私は何回も日本語の勉強を始まって、難しいからやめました:14歳で、17歳で、19歳で。。。今は21歳です。と、今度は全力で頑張ってみます!!特に話すのはすごく恥ずかしいですから、忍耐が多い方が私とビデオ通話で話してくれたらすごく感謝します。英語の練習がしたい方も是非私と話してください!お互い頑張りましょう :) 안녕하세요! 저는 캐서린이라고 합니다. (주림으로 케잇, 케이티, 캣등등으로 다 불러도 괜찮습니다.) 저는 한국어를 좀 오랫동안 공부해왔지만, 아직도 말을 남을 짜증나게 하는 정도로 잘 못 합니다... 이 컴퓨터는 왠지 한국어 키보드 기능이 잘 못 되어있지만 누가 저하고 통화하고 싶으면 무엇을 생각해내겠습니다. 영어로 말하려는 분은 저랑 말을 하고 싶으면 부디 연락해주세요!

    An excellent question, and one that most native English speakers do not know, lol.  Basically, there is a family of birds (meaning a group of species) that is made up of all species of pigeons and doves, of which there are hundreds.  Whether a specific species is considered a pigeon or a dove is completely arbitrary and based on nothing.  But the most common bird referred to as a pigeon is a rock dove, which is the dirty street pigeon you see eating garbage and harassing people eating McDonalds.  The birds most commonly referred to as doves include white doves (of any species), and mourning doves, but mostly people just call any filthy dove or pigeon living in the city a pigeon, and any wild pigeon or dove in the countryside that is clean and not eating french fries or bothering people will usually be called a dove.
    There is a family of mourning doves nesting outside my house now... :)

    The philosophical concept of stoicism

    We always try to improve our lives and our well-being, regardless of whether we can use religion, physical activities, or meditation to wind down our minds and engage into a state of mindfulness. There's a thing called stoicism and that can raise your resilience towards something really stressful.

    Let me start by defining what resilience is. Resilience derives from the Physical law encompassing the materials that have been exposed to pressure and return to their normal state after a period of time has passed. What do I mean with by that, and how does it relate with my life? After you've been exposed to pressure, you have to develop a state that enables you to carry on through that controversial [try "distressing", "stressful", "taxing", or "demanding"; "controversial" does not fit] situation and become stronger as an outcome.

    As I've mentioned on in my title, you might be interested about in the concept behind stoicism.
    You might be interested in the concept behind stoicism, which I mentioned in my title. [Your original sentence implies that you mentioned "You might be interested" in the title.] This philosophy was created by the Greeks during the ancient times and it basically consists of becoming resilient when you face adversities in your life by teaching us to get rid of all the material things that drain up our energy and makes making us accept that life is like a roller-coaster of good and bad times and you must understand. Maybe my explanation was too shallow, but if you're interested to take in taking control of your life and have having a better grasp of what to do in challenging moments, I can recommend the book "A Guide to the Good Life" by William B. Irvine, which explains all of the historical concepts behind it. It's definitely worth your reading.

    Interesting write-up :)

    안녕하세요. 저는 그림 그리기를 좋아해요. 오늘, 저는 사람을 많이 그릴 것이에요. 그리고 저는 한국어를 공부할 것이에요. Both "그리기" and "그리는 것" mean "the act of drawing", though the latter also means "the thing one draws", but they are both OK. "그림 그리기" means "drawing pictures" and is by far the most commonly used, thus why I chose it. "그려" means "draw", which is inappropriate because it's a verb (you basically said "I like draw.") "-가 좋아요" and "-를 좋아해요" are both OK to use. Also, when you use "다" to end sentences, the appropriate pronoun is "나". When you use "요", you say "저". I hope this helps, and I apologize for going into excessive detail. Your sentences were perfectly easy to understand and the errors were minor.

    To "pull someone's leg" is to trick them, but not for great personal gain or evil, just to tell them lies to see if the person will believe them. For example, someone could say "On my way here, I saw a cat riding a horse!" and another person could reply, "You're just pulling my leg," if the person doesn't believe them.  Sorry, I don't have information on the origin, like Richard does. haha.

    My personal favorite is my dad's accent, and the accent of my uncles and grandparents: the Ozark accent :) It's an unusual American accent from a small and beautiful geographical location in the center of the country.  It may be a bit difficult to understand for outsiders, and the grammar is closer to colloquial English from 150 years ago. I love it because it reminds me of my family and of the diversity of the English language-- plus, it's about as far as you can get from the annoying vowel sounds of the Kim Kardashian-esque Hollywood accent.
