수고하셨어요. 얘기했듯이 문장을 반복해 읽는 연습도 다양한 표현을 익히는데 좋은 공부방법입니다. 화이팅!! 약속한 에세이 파일도 올립니다. 수준에 맞는지 읽어 보아 주세요.

수고하셨습니다. 대화중 많이 노력했던 지난 시간이 느껴 졌어요. 더욱 자신감 가져도 좋을 만큼 매우 유창한 한국어 구사능력을 지녔습니다. 신문, 뉴스 공부 참고 되었으면 합니다. 다음주 좋은 결과있기를 빕니다.

    the first one forms the function of "is not" in English. if the question has the linking verb "is" in it, then you can reply with 아닙니다. 없습니다 is to not exist or have

    The difference is actually much more than that. As you know, in Korea they have their own way of counting age that makes people a year or two older depending on their date of birth and the time of the year. They use 살 for this one. Now when it comes to legal age, the one that we are used to using everywhere else in the world, they use 세. So when it comes to laws, they use 세. the drinking age is 19세, 19 international age. 19살 could include 17 or 18 year olds in international age, 세 age.

    To be honest, I hear the former expression more much than the latter. -- The president enacted many tough on crime policies. -- He was just trying to help you. You didn't have to be so tough on him. The second one makes me think more of a specific situation. "Get tough with (someone)". For example, a child is arguing with her mother and the mother replies by saying "Don't get tough with me". That is my opinion as an American English speaker. There might be regional differences that I may not be aware about (:

    it sounds fine! you could also say... 죄송하지만 한국어를 잘 못해요 or 아직 멀었어요 the second expression is a bit more advanced but it means something similar to "I still have a long way to go". So it can be used for anything that your learning, not just Korean (:

    체류하다 is more similar to "reside" is in English. You'll see this word a lot in things related to immigration. 체류자격변경 - Changing residential status (visa type) 한국에 체류하는 외국인 - Foreigners residing in Korea 머무르다 is "to stay", much more general as explained in the other answer

    It would be more helpful if you posted the full context of whatever you want translated instead of just fragments. They're out of context so we have no idea about the situation those words were used in.

    the only way to really increase fluency is by speaking speaking and speaking!

    I recommend a vocabulary learning website such as this one: 


    <a href="https://www.memrise.com/">https://www.memrise.com</a>


    This website uses spaced repetition software, this means that the words will appear more frequently depending on how often you get them wrong. 


    I found this website to very useful for me while studying Korean. Thanks to it I have also learned how to type in Korean. You can find liits of vocabulary or even make your own
