Day 161

As planned, I got started on more notes from Korean Grammar in Use today. I decided to do four today since that’s how many there were left in the particle section. I also wanted to give myself a day or two to go through some of the practice exercises and audio I skipped before (I’ve realized the error of my ways ^^;). I’ve also been thinking that I wanted to go back and look at the dialogues in My Korean another time (but more in depth this time around) so I think I’ll try to fit some of that in as well. The source of this seemingly large (and hopefully sustainable) amount of motivation is likely from having watched a bunch of videos on the channel Polyglot Progress on youtube (particularly their podcast) so if you’re in need of motivation or study tips or anything like that go check them out :) As for the rest of the studying I did today, it was pretty much just memrise I think.. and not much of that either ^^; Oh well, I tried :P

Approximate Amount Particle

Adding 쯤 to numbers/quantities/time indicated that the amount is an approximation.

~ 파티에 20명쯤 왔어요 (meaning “about 20 people came to the party”)

*When talking about prices, -쯤 하다 is used (although the less common 쯤이다 can be used as well)

~ For example, you could ask "사과가 요즘 얼마쯤 해요?" to which the response may be "요즘 3개에 2000원쯤 해요."

Simile Particle

처럼/같이 is used to express that something/an action is the same or very similar to the noun that precedes it.

~ 미스코리아처럼 예뻐요 would mean “[She is] as pretty as Miss Korea” 

Standard of Comparison Particle

보다 is added to a noun to indicate that it is the standard by which a comparison will be/is made. It’s English equivalent would be “more ... than” or “-er than”. The adverbs 더 and 덜 are usually used with 보다 but they can be omitted as well.

~여름보다 봄을 더 좋아해요 (meaning “[I] like spring more than summer

*the order of the subject and the 보다 noun can be reversed without changing the meaning

“Every” Particle

When added to time nouns, 마다 corresponds to “every” or “once every” in English and therefore expresses the repetition of an event over a period of time. When added to other words in other contexts, it is used to describe all of something with no exceptions (expressed in English with the words “every” or “all”).

*날마다, 일주일마다, 달마다, and 해마다 can also be written as 매일, 매주, 매월/매달, 매년

*집집마다 is used instead of 집마다

BBC Introducing Artist of the Month for Scriber!

The support for Scriber's debut EP has been great. Thanks to everyone who has supported the record so far, by grabbing a copy of the beautiful 12", downloading the tracks online and/or come out to a show to catch the man himself. Both RCR and Josh himself feel humbled by all your positive reactions. The launch show was particularly wonderful.

We've had some nice comments from the press too. Bethan Elfyn at BBC Wales and of Amazing Radio fame, has not only given the record some always welcomed air time, but has also included Scriber in her BBC introducing bands of the month selection for March!

Here's what she has to say....

"Scriber aka Joshua Price

Joshua's music came to my attention via one of my session artists this month, Laurence Made Me Cry, and word of mouth is a very vital tool for new bands. I never ignore recommendations from musicians that I like, because if I trust their music I'll most probably trust their judgement on other musicians too.

As soon as I heard Joshua's music I was hooked. Unassuming, quiet, composed, there's something utterly special about his voice. He's just launched an EP, Every Particle, via Rocking Chair Records, and have a look at some stunning videos on their website."                

                                                                      - BETHAN ELFYN, BBC Wales

  Thanks to the Miniature Music Press for their glowing review in April's edition too.

If you haven't already, grab yourself a copy of Every Particle here!
