I'd like to learn foreign languages even if I had no chance to live in the countries in real, but it's worthy no matter what. I've always thought, Learn more, See better. I majored in Korean language and literature, think that I could help those who study Korean here. The Korean language, 한글.. it's awesome to have our own beautiful one, but it's getting ruined especially by the young. Koreans speak Korean well, but which doesn't mean that all of us speak it right. More than any other lanugages, the mother tongue should go first, I believe. Salve a tutti! Sono coreana, di Seul. Mi piace molto studiare l'italiano, lo studio da dieci mesi e vorrei continuarlo. Spero di migliorare il mio italiano attraverso questo sito. Potrebbe aiutarmi, per favore? Ci vediamo presto, ciao~ * * * * * * I'm a big fan of movies, here are my favorite movies, it's almost impossible to select only a few, though. Billy Eliot, Santa Sangre, Gloomy Sunday, The Hours, La Finestra di Fronte, In the Mood for Love, Farewell My Concubine, Josee, the Tiger and the Fish, In This World, Central Stiation, Once, La Sconosciuta, Queens, etc.. And, books.. A lover's Discourse, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Demian, Annam, 1,000 Euro Generation, Calmi Cuori Appassionati, The House of the Sprit, and a lot of Korean books.

    Che vuole dire "Sport di conttato"? Salve a tutti. I've read un article about Ferdi Berisa on the net, and saw this expression, "Sport di conttato" Maybe, the kind of sports, football or rugby? I've searched on google, and saw these expressions, as well. "Sport di collisione" e "Sport non conttato" Could you give me some proper examples? I'm a big fan of baseball, then where should be included? Thanks for reading.

    Ciao Estella, Piacere! I've got the book you mentioned above, but haven't used it as often as I expected. First of all, my English is not as good as I could catch the meaning at once, so It happens all the time that I should look up an English dictionary to study some Italian idioms on it, which makes me tired and far from the book! The book is the same to " 2001 Italian and English idioms", which would be better for users, because it is divided into two parts, Italian-English and English-Italian. Anyway, I've come to an end that the book is not that suitable for me or my English is too poor to understand Italian idioms translated into English. Lately, I've bought a book with a very interesting title, Beyond Cazzo. Maybe, it would be sort of easy for you, but why don't you take a look at it in a book store? Good luck!!

    Potrebbe aiutarmi? <<Ricordi quella volta a casa di Ernesto? Quanto ci siamo divertiti!>> <<Certo che mi ricordo... Quanto abbiamo riso! Quella notte abbiamo alzato tutti un po' gomito, vero?>> I understand the sentences above, but some expressions. In the two sentences, the word, Quanto, <<Quanto ci siamo divertiti>> and <<Quanto abbiamo riso>> "How funny we were" and "How much we laughed" translated into English? And, the expression, <Alzare il gomito> is the same to Bere troppo? If so, generally, which is better to use? Alare il gomito, just between friends or familiar people? or so much used in daily life that no one cares? Whenever I leave some questions here, always get great answers from kind Italian people. I'm so grateful to you guys. Buona giornata!

    Che significano <A viareggio> e <Qudri scuri>? Mi sa dire che significano le due frasi? <<A viareggio, durante le vacanze estive. Ogni anno la mia famiglia affittava la casa di un architetto che era piena di quadri scuri.>> Ecco la mia traduzione, <A viareggio> during the summer vacation. Every year my family used to lend the house of an architect where was filled with <Quadri scuri>. Of course, I've tried to look up, but can't find the meaning. A viareggio? Quadri sicuri? Potrebbe aiutarmi? Grazie tante!

    한국어 참 잘 하시네요. 일단, 한글로 쓰겠습니다. 이 문장은 정답을 따로 말씀드리기가 좀 어렵네요. 언제, 어디서, 어떤 상황에서 들으셨나요? 개인적으로 참 궁금하네요. 질책의 뜻은 아시죠? 잘못을 지적하며 야단이나 꾸중을 하는 행위입니다. 정도가 심하면 비난이나 원망이 될 수도 있겠지요. "잠시 꺼 두셔도 좋습니다" 란 표현은 몇 년 전, 한석규의 SK텔레콤 광고 카피에서 비롯된 거 같네요. 아마, 한국 사람들 중에 일상생활에서 저 표현을 그대로 쓰는 사람은 거의 없을 겁니다. 어려운 단어가 있는 건 아니지만, 주어와 술어의 조합이 조금 문어체에 가깝다고 볼 수 있습니다. 직역하면, 야단이나 꾸중을 잠시 멈추란 얘기죠. 종일 시끄럽게 울려대는 핸드폰을 잠깐 꺼두는 것처럼. 이 문장의, 잠시란 부사로 인해 그 상황이 지속되었다는 걸 짐작할 수 있고, 그 만큼 야단 쳤으면 충분하다는 의미도 내포하고 있습니다. 조금 더 확대하면, 상대가 잘못을 했더라도, 조용히 얘기를 들어보거나, 부정적인 얘기를 멈추고 좋은 얘기나 칭찬을 하라는 의미도 가질 수 있겠네요. “야단 좀 그만 쳐!” 혹은, “비난 좀 잠시 멈춰 주실래요?” 이렇게 직접적으로 말하는 것과는 차원이 다른, 상당히 시적인 표현이라고 볼 수 있습니다. 한국어 공부 열심히 하시는 모습이 참 보기 좋네요. 행운을 빕니다.

    On purpose, I've passed the tense, Passato Remoto. It would be ok? As I mentioned above, I haven't studied Passato Remoto on purpose. First of all, as I started learning Italian, I was overwhelmed by the forms of verbs, felt like passing some tenses if those might not be used often. I haven't tried to memorize the form of passato remoto, but the tense shows up in dictionaries more often than I expected. Is it used often in conversation, as well? Mi andrebbe bene se continuassi a passarlo? Ho bisogno del Suo consiglio. Grazie!

    Gli italiani non usano molto il condizionale ed il congiuntivo in conversazione? I was told that the two moods were not used that much in daily life, except something like, Vorrei.. However, what if I'd like to be considered well-educated or cultured? Is it better to use the moods as much as possible? On the other hand, if I often used the moods in daily life, would I look kind of boring? Actually, it's too difficult to use both, almost impossible now, so I still need some dictionary of the verbs to do, but I was just wondering.. Mi scusi, se scrivessi questa domanda in italiano, sarebbe meglio. Grazie per la Sua attenzione.

    To me, the answer of Richardus sounds more natural. The sentence, Is he OK? wouldn't be mentioned so suddenly, probably people would have talked about him in any ways. Blah, blah, blah... By the way, is he OK? or How is he? I would say, 잘 지내죠? 잘 있죠? 괜찮아요? formal / 잘 있지? 잘 지내지? 괜찮아? informal. Without the subject, because we've been talking about him, we all know who he is. And, "make it" might mean 하다 (성공하다) in the sentence. If I were the speaker in the conversation, I would say, 어떻게 하셨어요? or 아니, 그걸 어떻게 하신 거죠? formal/ 어떻게 했어? or 아니, 그걸 어떻게 한 거야? informal In this case, I do put the object in the sentence, but with or without, almost the same, I think. "아니" dosen't mean not or no in the sentence, actually, it has no specific meaning, but it's often used at the beginning of sentences to emphasize a little, Oh! or Wow! Korean stences could be translated in slightly different ways by Korean native speakers, which would make foreign people confused, but this is the Korean language. It's important to have your own style as you are learning. Good luck!

    교보문고 외국서적 코너 가시면 Teach Yourself, Barron's, Berlitz 등에서 나온 교재들이 있어요. 물론, 영어로 되어 있지만, 그리 어렵지는 않을 거예요. 영어, 중국어, 일본어를 제외한 다른 외국어에 비해 프랑스어나 스페인어는 교재가 좀 있는 편입니다. 처음 시작하시는 단계라면, New Basic French 아니면 Beginner's French 등이 괜찮겠네요. 하드케이스 안에 교재와 CD가 함께 들어있어요. 서점에서 한 번 둘러보시고, 구입은 인터넷 교보문고에서 구입하세요. 조금 더 싸요! 저도 이태리어 조금 더 배운 다음에 프랑스어 공부하려고 생각 중입니다. 근데, 그 특유의 ㅎ에 가까운 R 발음은, 언제 들어도 참.. 저걸 내가 할 수 있으면 사람이 아니지.. 이런 생각 들게 하네요. 하하 개인적으로, 영어, 중국어, 일본어가 아닌 다른 외국어 공부하는 한국 사람은 더욱 응원하고 싶습니다. 프랑스어 열심히 공부하시길 바래요!

    제 실수를 바로 잡아 주시기 바랍니다. 감사합니다. (when asking something, it's better to write this way) [I can speak fluently in both english and tagalog but i also want to learn hangeul so i can teach my mother.] 저는 영어와 타갈로그어를 자유롭게 말할 수 있습니다. 하지만, 어머니께 가르쳐 드리기 위해 한글 또한 배우고 싶습니다. [I watch korean, japanese and taiwanese dramas on my free time] 저는 자유시간에 한국, 일본, 대만 드라마들을 봅니다. [I have never been to korea, but i wish to visit someday.] 한국에 가 본 적은 없지만, 언젠가는 꼭 가 보고 싶습니다. [I want to go to korea and teach english for a while.] 저는 한국에 가고 싶고 얼마 간 영어를 가르치고 싶습니다. [My korean is not very good, but i wish to be fluent at it.] 아직 한국어를 잘 못 하지만, 자유롭게 말할 수 있기를 바랍니다. 제발 도와주세요. 감사합니다! It would be a little awkward if I translated the sentences too literally, so I've tried to make these look natural. And, I've tried to avoid Chinese words, such as 구사 (언어를 말하다), 방문 (가다), 유창 (잘하다). I think it would better for those who are not so good at Korean or have just started to learn it.
