Hello! My name is Ji-young Kim, You can call me Ji. I was born in South Korea. I am a native speaker who speaks standard Korean. In 2017, I couldn't read or speak English. However, I moved to Canada to work in 2018. I learned to speak English in a year and I believe you can speak Korean too. It's very exciting to be able to share my language study experiences with you. This class is to be an introduction to Korean and to help you communicate what you want to say in Korean. nice to meet you! 안녕하세요. 제 이름은 김지영입니다. 저는 한국에서 태어났고, 2017년에 처음 영어 공부를 시작하여 2018년부터는 캐나다에서 생활 중입니다. 영어로 기본적인 문장으로 쓰지도 말하지도 못했던 저의 경험을 바탕으로 여러분이 한국말을 이해하고 공부하는데 도움을 드리고 싶습니다.

    I highly recommend that you search for the Korean word you are curious about on Google Images. Then you can more accurately associate the image the word gives you. 꼬다: TWIST; 다리를 꼬다. 몸을 꼬다. 끈을 꼬다. BE SARCASTIC(Negative); 말을 꼬다. 비틀다: To wind something by twisting it tightly. DISTORT; It may sound similar to '꼬다', but this word is used when a situation has completely changed. 뒤틀다: OBSTRUCT; BAFFLE; THWART; It's an old word and its original form is '두위틀다'. It's good if you use it to emphasize words like '꼬다, 비틀다'. 틀다: This word is one of the verbs used in as many meanings as '쓰다'. This is good to use when expressing the act of twisting something with your hand to make it work. Do you know traditional Korean hairstyles? We expressed the form of pulling up the hair and tying it up as '틀어 올리다'. Later, it was used as a verb for the action a button to operate a TV or computer; 티비를 틀다. 컴퓨터를 틀다. etc. Or when you change the direction you were going. 헝클다: TANGLE, ENTANGLE, CONFUSE; This word may feel similar to the previous four words, but I think it's used for a slightly more negative situation or emotion. I guess that Korean verbs can be difficult to understand even if they are the same word, because the form changes slightly depending on who uses when and how. It means 'be sarcastic' and is used as ''말을 비틀다. or 말을 꼬다'. But, I have no memory of using the phrases '말을 뒤틀다, 말을 틀다, 말을 헝클다.' in everyday life unless someone intentionally uses it as a poetic expression. So I mean, it is most important to remember the context in which the word was used. If you have more questions, come to my class or send me a message. 😉
