*채팅이나 메세지에서 맞춤법이나 문법이 틀릴때 교정해주세요. 감사합니다.* 전 한국 문화를 좋아합니다. 버라이어티 쇼나 영화나 드라마같은걸요. 이렇게 많은 시간을 할애하다보니, 한국어를 배우는게 낫다고 생각이 들어 시작하게 됬습니다. 아직 말하는데는 익숙치 않아서 자신이 없지만, 최선을 다해서. 노력하겠습니다. 우리는 같이 공부할 거에요. ^_^ I am of partial Korean ancestry and love learning languages. And decided that it was a waste not to learn the language. I'm a program manager at a language organization and also study Mandarin and Spanish. I also like to read, watch a variety of tv shows from all over the world, to cook, and to learn about other places and people. It's really interesting how different we can be and yet still have so much in common. I'd like to learn many other languages in the future. I'm still very shy speaking korean and not very good when I do, but I will work hard to improve. Let's study together. ^_^

    To add to Pascal's answer, I learned a from a helpful italki member that 이러고 + 고 있다 or 이러고 + __(verbstem) + 고 있다 is sarcastic. The of equivalent of a when we make a comment in English and raise our brows for censure, then saying " You're doing that/being like that...? or 이러고 놀고 있다 " You are playing around like that...?" here's the link to my journal post this, he explains it much better lol. http://www.italki.com/entry/224648

    Hi

    I'm Daeseob Lim, but you can call me David (my English name). I am from Korea, but currently live in Barrington, _______ (<- I don't know whether you live in Barrington, Illinois or Barrington, New Hampshire; I would say which to clarify. Because in america it is not uncommon for multiple towns in different states, to have the same name). I would like to make friends and learn English. Contact me if you want to learn Korean.

     

    Bye

    One of the interview question applying to volunteer group

    In what activities or service areas do you feel called or gifted?
    (max. 300 characters)
    I feel happy doing the activity like a studying together(specially math), singing(with guitar), dancing with children. I’m good at listening to their story and giving them a tiny word of advice to help them solve the problem with confidence. I’m good at children happy in order to let them know how I love them.

     

    (This is how I would phrase it)

     

    Children are full of curiosity, energy, and have so much to say. Listening to and learning from them, makes me happy. I enjoy helping them solve problems, build confidence, and have fun. I use my talents for tutoring, math, singing, playing guitar, and dancing; to achieve this.

    1. not necessarily stronger but less offensive you could use "Don't toy with me", "don't play games with me", " Stop playing around!", or "Cut it out!"; to get the person to stop saying or doing whatever they're doing that's upsetting you 2 If you don't want to use slang, I'd say " It's horrible when_______ (happens)" ex It's horrible when I have a hangover. or "I hate it when___" ex I hate it when i'm late for work. Or "It's a shame that____" ex It's a shame that you didn't call me back. Or " It's unfortunate that ______" ex It's unfortunate I lost my keys. 3. I like using "Well that's life" in a similar tone C'est la vie is used in french. or you could just say "stuff happens"

    Sorry, made a mistake "What is your name friends?" should be " What are your names friends?"

    What Is Your Name?

    Though we are always changing our style of hair, and clothes; our names stay the same. Our names for that reason are the most effective way to say who we are. In fact, different names have different meanings. Knowing the meaning of your name is very interesting. For instance, my chinese name is chengyuting. According to the dictionary, my name symbolizes  beauty and wisdom. Haha, What a great expections my parents had for me! My english name is Yuridia, which means noble. I like them both. What is your name friends? What does it mean? Looking for your reply. Thanks!

    <em>I'm busy</em>

    <em>Nan bappa... </em>
    <em>(did i say it right form?) ^^</em>

     

    Hi Cris,

    I'm busy: Bappayo or Jeo bappayo

     

    (Nan bappa = Na neun bappa <-- which does mean 'i'm busy' but in the plain/intimate form. So unless the person you're saying it to is your age or younger, close friends with you, or you're intentionally being rude/sassy/curt like 2ne1 lol; you wouldn't say it quite like this. The "yo" on the end of verbs makes it standard polite form, not too formal, not too casual. Being a beginner myself i find it the safest form to use.)
