I'm currently a college student who would like to learn Korean for a study abroad program. I'd be willing to exchange my English speaking skills for a native Korean speaker who is willing to put in equal time for practice and learning!

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    most of people in school learned english, but for me , i learned japanese,
    Most* of the people in school learned English*, but I* learned Japanese*. **

    everyone knows that english is national language now, if you can not*** speak english you can not*** make a conversation with foreigner
    Everyone* knows that English* is an international language now, if you cannot speak English* you cannot have a conversation with foreigners. **

    and seconly, i want a better job, but if you can not speak english ,it will limited you to find a good job,
    Secondly*, I want a better job. If you cannot speak English*, it limits your ability to find a good job. **

    *This is a capitalization rule in the English languages. Important pronouns must have the first letter in the word capitalized. Some examples of words that should be capitalized include - names, days of the week, months, holidays, languages, countries, etc. Additionally, the first letter of every new sentence should be capitalized. 

    ** This deals with punctuation. You keep using the comma ( , ) instead of a period ( . ). A comma ( , ) is used to break up two like clauses (ideas) and creates a "pause" in the sentence. A period ( . ) marks the end of a clause (idea) and separates it from a new one. Remember that after periods ( . ) the next word should have its first letter capitalized. 

    *** This is a conjunction, can not becomes cannot in the English language. Other examples are: are not = aren't, do not = don't, should not = shouldn't. 

    Other things can't really be detailed unless you got a formal session with an italki member :). 

    Hope comments help you! :)

    오늘은 금요일 입니다! 안녕하새요 친구! <--- I'd like to say friend(S) plural, is that correct? Does the Korean language have rules for plurality? 오늘은 저는 학교 갔는데. 우리 유전적인 공부를 했다. 수업 후에, 저는 음주 와 친구 갔는데. 저는 한국어 사전 샀다 또한. 이 책은 도움이 해야. 그러길 바랍니다!

    I'm <strike>confuesed</strike> confused about "have been" form 

    I was in Korea but not now. 

    I have been Korea

    Is there a word missing here? Without a verb this is a relatively incomplete sentence. 

    I have been to Korea

    This the best form to use. It implies your visitation to the country. 

    I was in korea but not now

    You wouldn't really say you were "In" a country. Like it's okay to say, "I was in that room, but not now", but that's a different situation. Saying that you were "in" a country is sort of incorrect. Since you are speaking in the past  tense - "I was" you do not need to tell people, "but now now" because the usage of "I was" sheds enough understanding  to the listener to know that you are no longer there. Either way, I would not use this form. 

    and... I have been there. it means I was there but not now. isn't it?

    As I said before, since you are already applying the past tense, "I have" it is implied that you are no longer there, so you do not need to tell the listener, but not now. If you want, you can make two sentences. "I have been to Korea. I went there for vacation." or something to that effect. 

    and ... I have been been korea. // I have lived korea.
    it means i'm living in korea now .

    I have lived in Korea

    Doesn't mean you are living in Korea now. Adding "d" to "live" and the "have" sets the sentence in past tense. As it is in the past, the listener will think it is no longer the truth. If you want to tell someone you are living in Korean you can say:

    I currently live in Korea. 

    I live in Korea now. 

    I am living in Korea. 

    Hope my advice is of some help!

    What a beautiful day today!

    To avoid redundancy, try using: What a beautiful day! or Today is beautiful!
     

    It is (you can make this a conjunction: It's)  <strike>saturday</strike> Saturday (names of week days, months and holidays should be capitalized) today!  <strike>things</strike> Things (capitialize the first letter of every new sentence) are wonderful <strike>cause</strike> because we <strike>can</strike> (not needed) have two days off to enjoy the beautiful sunshine. <strike>the</strike> The sun shines brightly outside which makes me feel so good. My mood depends on the weather. <strike>for</strike> For the past a couple of days ( a cleaner way to word this: For the last few days or The past few days. The way it is worded now is somewhat awkward you wouldn't really say "past a couple of days"), it has been cloudy all the time which had a bad effect on my mood.

    The May day is coming (May 1st is coming or The first day of May is coming), <strike>I and my friends</strike> My friends and I plan to travel <strike>to somewhere we have never been to befor</strike>e somewhere that we have never been to before. <strike>that</strike> That sounds great! I am sure we will enjoy ourselves.

    Hi! I hope my corrections help you! :)
