    Wow..this is a toughy. 혀를 내두르다=몹시 놀라거나 어이없어서 말을 못하다 in the Korean dictionary I just looked up. My take: The closest I can think of in English is the word "dumbfounded."

    新しいものに挑戦するのは美しいことだよ。 自分にこう言ってほしい。「新しいものに挑戦するのは怖いものじゃなくて、美しいものなの。だからがんばって。」 大学から卒業してもう三年も過ぎて、今年は私今からどうするんだろうしたり悩みもいろいろあったんだけど、結局いい結果を出すことに何って本当嬉しい。まだ年中までは時間もあるんだし、新しいものを始めるのにとてもいい時期だ。経済的な余裕はいつものどおりないけど、諦めたくない。久しぶりの旅行とかいろいろ考えたばかりで実現できなかったことを思い出せてる。やっぱ、長い時間ただだめていて、待っていた自分の願いをかなうものは大変だ。

    Yes I drew this drawing = 네, 제가 이 그림을 그렸어요. "네. 나는 그림은 그렸어요." in English would be something like, "yes, as far as the drawing goes, I drew it." with a slightly negative meaning implied.

    もうちょっとの勇気 なんか今時はさ、旅行行きたいなあ。お金がもったいないからなんもプランしてないけど、やっぱもうちょっと時間すぐとチャンスがなくなる気がするからイライラしてる。 お仕事や秋から始まる大学院のことを考えると今のスケジュルを全部ほったらかして旅に行くなんてありえない話に見える。って言うか、どこに行けばいいんだろうと思ってしまう。今まで家族と離れたこともほとんどないし、なんか気安く決定できない。こんな私はクールじゃないんだね。 いろいろ考えたら、やっぱ海外に行きたい。アメリカでも韓国でもないほかの国。日本や中国、南米とかがいい。ヨロッパはあまり行きたくない。

    I've taught Korean alphabets in Thailand before and was amazed how quickly students picked up the written language. I would say definitely learn spoken expressions first to get the feel of how the Korean language sounds. But it should be relatively easier than any other language to learn Korean alphabets. You can practice your listening skills by writing down what you heard in Korean and have someone check your spellings and etc.

    I guess how people view Taiwan is all different but from what I hear, Taiwan is politically independent from China but China is trying to re-annex the country to itself. 
    I watch Taiwan and Chinese dramas and first noticed that chinese characters were different (traditiona vs. simplified).

    話した文章の全てが分かればいいんですね。"니" だけでは文章の中でどんな意味として使われたのかわかりにくいです。すいませんが、文章全てを書いていただけませんか?:)

    I would say '배우다' has a braoder meaning compared to '공부하다.' '배우다' literally means to learn something whereas '공부하다' could mean putting more time and effort in the process of learning i.e. reading books, becoming a student in a certain area, etc. Usually, the word '공부하다' equals 'to study' in English. Hope this helps :)

    It's natural to make mistakes with second languages. So, first of all, I would like to say "Don't be discouraged if you make mistakes."

    Try asking someone, who is familiar with the language you're learning, to critique your speech and writing. That way, you will improve the way you use expressions without stressing too much on grammar itself. Sometimes, you will find certain expressions that sound awkward to the natives. Other times, you will pick up new expressions that are legitimate in the language you're learning. That way, you will automatically improve your grammar and the usage of the langauge at the same time.

    Yes..in this case "would not" could mean 2 different things, which is all inclusive in English. But if you want to translate this into Korean, you would have to use one or the other. For example: He would not eat meat (In the context that you are assuming this) : 그는 고기를 먹지 않을 거에요 (He is not going to eat meat). He would not eat meat (You've already asked the person if he would like to eat meat, but he refused) : (내가 그렇게 말했는데도) 고기를 먹지 않더라구요. (Even when I asked him) he didn't eat meat. I hope this helps :D
