I just graduated from high school last year, and am taking a break from school for a year, teaching English in Korea. I like answering questions about English because it helps my understanding of the language to improve as well as my teaching. So if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask =D 전 작년에 고등학교에서 졸업했어요..대학교 바로 다니려고 했는데 마음 바꿨고 일년동안 한국에서 영어 가르치기로 정했어요 ^^ 여기 있는동안 한국에서 대학교가기로 정했고 한국어능력시험 치려 공부하기 시작했어요. 그래서 아무래도 도와 주시면 좋겠습니다! ^^

    There's no difference between the actual meaning of the sentences. But always remember: If you can make it simpler, and still communicate your idea correctly, do it! Being articulate is not having the ability to express yourself with large or difficult words, but being able to express yourself in the most understandable manner. Many times, the most natural sounding expression is the simpler expression. "He intended to come see you," sounds the most natural.

    It means 'at that time/at that moment'. It's has the same meaning as the sentence, "Then, the bank was at the pinnacle of England's financial system." You can use it when you are telling about something that happened in the past, and the following thing you want to talk about happened at that specific time.

    Words with a ㅎ as the last character in the syllable followed by a vowel are not pronounced when spoken. If you ask a Korean to say the word 좋아해 slowly, they would not say [조하해]. The same with the verb 놓다. When spoken, although we may know it is spelt 놓아, it sounds like [노아] (Many times it's shortened even more to 놔, and can even sound like [나] when spoken). However when the ㅎ is followed by consonants it can change the sound of the following consonants. For example, 닫히다 (To be closed) can be pronounced [다치다]. I don't know all of the consonants it can change, and I don't want to tell you the wrong thing, so it's best to ask a Korean for that. XD

    Are you talking about on the computer? If you have a PC, I can tell you how. But just tell me what operating system you're using.

    말하다 Is to speak. 말했어 is the past form of the verb. -라고 is an just an indicator. It shows that the phrase before 라고 is what was said. 공부하라고 말했어. He said to study. / He said, "Study."

    -니까 = Because/So 그사람이 착하니까 제가 좋아해요. Because that person is nice, I like him. / That person is nice, so I like him. It's used this way in both formal and casual speech.

    If a Korean could help with this, I would really be appreciative, because I'm kind of confused. But this is the way I understand it. ~면서 means while. It can be used in 2 forms: ~하면서 or ~한다면서. It's helpful for me to think of the other suffixes in parts. 할지도 모른다면서: Maybe you know the phrase 할지 몰라, which means, "(I) don't know (what) (to) do." ~도 can be understood to mean 'even' in most cases, but in this situation, it doesn't really change the meaning of the sentence. 할지도 모르다 is almost the same as 할지 모르다. Both of these statements are saying something like, "I'm not absolutely positive, BUT..." In English, in most situations, we might say something like 'probably' or 'might'. For example: "그는 마약을 할지도 몰라요" = "He's probably doing drugs." or "He might be taking drugs." Although this is kind of hard to translate, and have it still sound normal, "할지도 모른다면서" is something like "while not knowing". 가보라더라고: 가보라 is 가보다 in the form of a command. ~더라 is similar to "I've found that..." or "I've heard that..." or "People say that..." ~더라고 is used to show more emphasis [I THINK...not 100% sure about that, but I'm pretty sure '고' does not change the meaning of the sentence] 쓸데 없는 소리: 쓸데 없는 말/이야기/소리 is very similar to what you were thinking: Nonsense/Talking for no reason/Talking just to talk/Useless Words So in English, I think of the sentence saying something like, "While not even knowing if 혜미 would say a bunch of foolishness, 민희 told me to go (or to come here)." But I asked my one of my Korean friends about it, and they told me it means: 혜미가 쓸데없는 소리를 할지 모르니까 가보라고 했어. ...which is really different from what I was thinking. This says, "BECAUSE (I?) don't know if 혜미 will say nonsense, 민희 told me to go." PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE GRAMMAR =(
