- to render someone speechless can mean to leave someome with nothing to say. Make me speechless or leave me speechless is what one may say to another person asking the other person to surprise him/her. The statement "leave me/one speechless" means to shock someone, or surprise someone to the point that they have nothing to say. It could be both a bad and a good message, but it relies heavily on the in context. Also use in place of awe, or overwhelmed. Again, depending on the context. -PEACE0 votedDecember 1, 20111
- Korean International Students...a perspective It seems that living in a country does not guarantee that you will learn the language. Based on my personal experiences with young Korean international students that come to the US, everyone seems to leave with drastically different experiences. Few come here and study hard. They discipline themselves to speak only English and are very successful. Others. do improve their English, but considering the time that they lived in US (4 years), the improvements are not significant. When ask why their English haven't improved, they respond by saying that they spent too much time with their Korean friends. So there was very little chance to improve their speaking. Just wanted to get some thoughts on this. Sometimes I wonder if they came here to study or party. I know that it is very difficult, but I know that they do not study other than the school assignments. I hope that when I go to Korea, I'll stay away from partying too much. I'll just indulge in the food! YUMM!!!! Any ideas on how to improve Korean while living there?
November 29, 201120 - I would suggest that you read books in English that are in a level you are comfortable with. Verbs, and words in general, are defined by the context they are written in. Reading is a great way to learn the different ways verbs are used in a language. 2 examples for the word "go" below. You should go for it. - Means that you should pursue something, a goal or plan, not necessarily mean physically move somewhere. That shirt goes with your shoes. Meaning that the shirt is compatible, or matches, your shoes. -Peace0 votedNovember 18, 20112
- Saying "Not that far gone," can be a response stating that they are not that sick/addicted. Addicts have a saying of having "hit bottom." Addicts can do terrible things to themselves or their families. If someone knows that they are an addict, but can have self control may respond by saying, I'm not that far gone." Meaning they are not so addicted that they may do something that bad. Same for illnesses. Patients can respond this way if people are trying to help them with things they are capable of doing themselves. Responding by saying, "I'm not that far gone." Meaning my illness is not bad enough. Hope it helps. -Peace0 votedNovember 18, 20110
