- Translating "매일 현장에서 일하는 육체파. 발군의 신체능력의 소유자," and some vocabulary... I was reading a book and found this description. I understand some words, but was extremely puzzled by others. '육체파,' for one, has really puzzled me. If I look this up, I find most info on women, and the Daum dictionary states that it means 'glamour' pertaining to a girl/woman. Is this the 'glamour' that has to do with being voluptuous/curvaceous? What I do know is that 박제민씨 is a man. Do you have a clue what this description means? 박제민 매일 현장에서 일하는 육체파. 발군의 신체 능력의 소유자. The second sentence leads me to believe 박제민씨 is a man that has to do with owning some sort of fitness business. Please further my understanding by translating this. Thank you!April 30, 201250
- How come in these lyrics 에 isn't after 세상? "이 세상 그 누구보다 널 사랑하겠어." Would it be incorrect if '에 ' were to be added to "이 세상 그 누구보다 널 사랑하겠어"? To make -> 이 세상에 그 누구보다 널 사랑하겠어. Was 에 omitted because the fluidity of the words is better without it, or is it grammatically incorrect to add 에? If it's grammatically incorrect, please explain to me why it is so. ^^April 25, 201220
- Translating "저기 들어 줄 거는 짐만." <- what is the significance of "줄 거는" and what does "짐만" mean? This sentence confused me as I don't know what "들어 줄 거는" would become in English, and I don't know what "짐만" means or when one would use it. I know that "저기" could be roughly translated as "over there," "that place" or "there". - Is '들어' derived from '들다' meaning to 'get in', 'stop', or 'enter'? - What is the function of '-줄 거는'? - What does '짐만' mean, and when would you use it? If possible, please translate ^^April 21, 201210
- English Equivalent/Explanation for 토옹토옹, 대롱, 버둥버등, 풉, 활짝, 달각/달깍, 살짝, 저벅저벅, 꾸욱 I'm not quite sure what they mean, but am pretty sure they are sound effects. Please explain (if you can, please give examples) or give the English equivalent. If you don't know all of them, please tell me what you know. Thank you in advance! Words - 토옹토옹 - 대롱 - 버둥버등 <- Does this have to do with bouncing or being upside down? - 풉 <- Is this a sound effect for smiling? What is it? - 활짝 - 달각/달깍 <- Do they have the same meaning? - 살짝 - 저벅저벅 - 꾸욱April 17, 201210
- English Equivalent or explanation for 피융, 헐둥 지둥, 투다다닥, 쓔우웅? I know these words are sound effects/onomatopoeia, but I still don't know what they mean or when they're used. It'd help very much if you gave me the English equivalent or an explanation for them! If you don't know about some words, please tell me what you know! Thank you very much.April 16, 201250
- Grammar: Function of 하고 (and its many uses?) I see 하고 a lot in sentences and lyrics. What does 하고 do? Is it a connector or indicator? I'm pretty sure it means 'and', 'with', and 'along with' as my book specifies, but I'm confused when I see it with sentences or phrases that I know . "매일 성정하고 있지." <- Would this mean something like "I grow every day"? "하고 싶은 말" <- This means "Words I want to say". In this case, does 하고 have any meaning at all? Is it a shortened version of "말하고 싶은 말"? I know in English we can take out a few words and modify it without saying something and the sentence is still understood. Is this the same? 미안하고 고마워 <- I know in this case, the function of 하고 is 'and' as it means "I'm sorry, and thank you." Please explain the first and second example as I'm really confused with 하고 when I don't quite see where 'and', 'with', or 'along with' could take place.Sorry this sentence is incomplete: I'm pretty sure it means 'and', 'with', and 'along with' as my book specifies, but I'm confused when I see it with sentences or phrases that I know. I meant to say: I'm pretty sure it means 'and', 'with', and 'along with' as my book specifies, but I'm confused when I see it with sentences or phrases that I know don't likely have 'and', 'with', or 'along with'.March 19, 201261
- Meaning of 할지도, 면서, and 가보라더라고 in this dialogue I know 민희 is saying something like "what brings you here, 존오빠?" I get lost with what John is saying. "쓸데없는 소리" is like unnecessary noise, right? I don't know what "할지도 모른다면서" or "가보라더라고" means. "모른다" is not knowing or understanding, but I don't know what "면서" is or what "할지도" means. Did 민호 tell John to go because of 혜미 causing unnecessary noise? Does "면서" mean something like "since" or "because"? 민희: 존오빠, 여긴 어쩐 일이야? 존: 혜미가 쓸데없는 소리 할지도 모른다면서 민호가 가보라더라고. If you have time, please translate what John said.Before 민희 and John were talking, 민희 was talking to 혜미, and 혜미 was talking up a storm.March 18, 201251

How to Introduce Myself When I'm in the Interview?
How do I introduce myself without using many I's?
I am 23, and has graduated from college in the last year. My major is International Trade. I haven't worked in this industy after graduating from school, but i have worked as English service [?] over one a year. Although I'm not fluent in English, I think I can talk speak and write it well. Though not fluet . I can type without watching the keyboard. I can learn new abilities fast quickly because i am I'm interested in it English and gained i have leart some knowledge of it in the college . (End the of self-introduction)
I think I need a little time to family familiarize myself with English words, but most companies won't give me a chance. I also don't have enough evidence to say "I am skillful with english writing and speaking in writing and speaking English." It's a big problem with for a lazy human person ( like me :( )
Notes and friendly suggestions~To answer your question, you should stick in transitional words to lessen your use of 'I'. I think it's hard to refrain from using 'I' in a self-introduction because you're talking about yourself. When I introduce myself, I try to use transitional words and explain in detail about the subject to support what I said.

The reason I crossed out "I can type without watching keyboard ." is because you didn't have a supporting detail for speaking. I recommend you say instead of "I can type without watching keyboard," "I can type on the keyboard in English as if it's second nature to me." <- I'd only say this if you're really fast and naturally when typing on the keyboard. Beginners in typing tend to type slow and look at the keyboard, so it's pretty impressive to say that typing is like breathing for you.
I don't think you're a lazy person. It's quite admirable that you're trying to learn English! English isn't the easiest language to learn, and even native people have a hard time with it. Your struggle is probably with grammar and not knowing enough vocabulary. I recommend you go through dictionaries to strengthen your vocabulary.
