Hi. My name is 조혜정 and I am half Korean and half American. I am a current graduate from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelors in English Literature and a Minor in Psychology. I am still trying to learn Korean. This will be my 6th year trying to learn it. I don't get to use it often so it's quite bad right now. I remember bits and pieces from classes I took but my grammar is impaired due to my lack of usage, sadly. I hope this site will help me with that! 저는 조혜정 입니다. 제 엄머니가 한국사람 이고 아버지가 미국사람 입니다. 제가 아직 한국어 배웁니다. Bonjour. Je m'appelle Kristy, Je suis matière principal en la littérature anglaise et un mineur en la psychologie. J'ai apprise le français pour six ans. Mon le français suis très mauvais, tellement je suis désolé...

    Complex Sentences in French Hello. So write now I'm having this great problem with complex sentences in French. I am taking a French Literature class right now and am doing miserable in it due to my grammar and lack of knowledge on how to write proper sentences. What really is my greatest problem with complex sentences in French is which verbs do you know to conjugate??? I know that when one has multiple verbs in a sentence he/she does not have to conjugate every verb in that sentence. For example, here are a multiple of sentences I used for my in-class essay for the novel "Oscar et La Dame Rose" today in class: - Thesis: Oscar's great change throughout his story gives not only Oscar the feeling of being able to live a full life with the help of Mamie-Rose, but it also helps the others in his life to properly come to terms that the belief of a cure is not always the best answer for either party in the situation. (crappy thesis but hey, it's good enough for an in-class essay) - Oscar helps the people in his life to accept the fact that he will die soon. In the beginning of the novel everyone around him were always sad for him and tried to fake happiness and joy around him by laughing at every joke he said, for example. It is with Oscar showing that he himself accepts the fact that he will die quite soon makes everyone else understand that even though most of the cures helped other children in the hospital, it will not help Oscar in the end. Therefore with Oscar showing his acceptance of his death nearing that the others around him are able to get past the false hope of a cure and finally coming to terms with that he will die soon. This creates a better atmosphere for Oscar, where at the end of the novel he dies ready and happy to leave earth; knowing those around him will be okay once he is gone. You don't have to fix all of them... I just got ahead of myself. Sorry. Pick and choose. Please and thank you!~

    ESL 가르지고 하고 싶어요. 나는 한국에서 ESL을 가르지고 너무 하고 싶어요. 나는 한국에 정말 좋아요. 그리고 찿아내는 ESL을 가르져요. 하지만 한국에서 가르져서 사랑하는 가르져요. 아직 나는 찿아내지만 힘들은 ESL 가르지는 일을 찿아내요. (나는 찿아내지만 ESL 가르지는 일을 찿아내는 힘들어요. (It is hard to find an ESL teaching job but I will still look)).

    Suggestion

    Correction

    My first notebook entry: Introducing myself & today's diary. Click me and check me out, please!

    Any comments would be welcomed.
    Please correct the note including, even this sentence, as much as you possible can.

    I'm Ji yong from Seoul, Republic of Korea.
    I've been serving my military duty. My conscription is only five months left I only have five months left on my conscription.

    I'm a public servicer. It's kind of serving the duty and my workplace is in Choongjeongno station, line number two.

    And now my story of today follows.:

    Today I visited my university and met my friend from Myanmar.

    I treated her coffee and bagels, and she gave me a traditional gold-laced souvenir from which she brought from her country.

    She speaks Korean really well enough to hadve been able to worked at the POSCO in Myanmar.
    And today she told me her story when she was younger, studying Korean.
    She said she had studied Korean severely a lot when she was younger. 

    She'd always brought a lots of questions to professors.
    So she even heard "do you sleep even(?) an hour a day?" from her professors She once even had one of her professors ask her "do you sleep even one hour during a day?" since she was so persistent with her questions.
    She also recorded her voice to compare hers with the native speakers.
    With this diligence, she'd was been selected as a student of the Korean goverment scholarship and she could get also had an oppotunity to study in Korean.

    Today she advicesd me how to study english without any words, just with her behaviors, her story. (I don't fully understand what you are trying to say here... Sorry!)

    I was so shameful to look back at my studying behavior... wWhat a lazy boy I was.

    Anyway, thanks for reading this long story!
    I'd be really appreciate your kindness feedback. I would be quite thankful!.

    (In English we don't use "kindness" in this situation in your sentence. It is too vague, so I suggested another way to phrase your sentence. (: )

    잘 핶어요!!!

    지영씨는 영국어를 잘 써요.

    It is correct. It can go either way: "Make sure you are GIVEN a receipt for everything you buy." "Make sure you RECEIVE a receipt for everything you buy." "Given" in this sentence is referring that the EMPLOYEE gives you a receipt. So it's in the employee's point of view when the person is telling you the sentence. "Receive", if switched to replace "given", in this sentence would be referring that YOU get a receipt from the employee. So then the sentence would be in your point of view when the person is telling you the sentence... I hope that explains it a little better for you. I'm in a rush so I would probably have given you a better explanation if I wasn't in such a hurry! Ah!!! See! I just used "given" like it was used in your sentence!!! Maybe that will help you a little bit more??? :)

    'Curiosity' heading for Mars

    I read the news about a rocket carrying the automobile for exploring Mars had been launched. Although it merely is operated unmanned (isn't operated by man), it is still pretty good for our aviation lovers. I hope all could goes well on this mission. I am looking forward to seeing the photos that will be coming back from Mars.

    Very good~!

    Yes, "near" can be used as a verb just like your example. Another example is: He "neared" the cashier. The storm is coming "nearer". It is not a common verb, but when used as one it can sometimes replace verbs like "close" or other verbs that have the meaning of "approaching something/someone". So in your example the person is coming close to finishing his bottle/approaching to the end of his bottle (the bottle is almost empty). In the two I give: the person is coming closer to the cashier and the storm is approaching/coming closer.
