#korean language study

[eddis-not-eeddis]

I do my Japanese lessons, and then I do a Korean lesson to remind myself what it’s like to study a language that actually makes sense.

Any time I write in Korean for someone the responses are either “Woah your Korean is neat” or “You still write like a textbook” and for those who say the latter I always just want to say that it’s just my handwriting. It’s not because I’m “still a beginner” or “still trying to copy textbooks” and that sounds so condescending anyways like please chill.

Like— my English handwriting is structured in the exact same way. I just write very… I don’t know? My friends say my handwriting is very particular and I think it follows through with both languages. I don’t know. Does it mean my Korean handwriting is wrong? I’ve been staring at my notes today thinking about it— and I will say I’ve only heard the second form of commentary from other Korean-language-learners and never from Korean natives but I’m starting to get a complex over it I think…

Telling myself it doesn’t matter as long as it’s legible and can be understood.

Two poems from my Korean poetry collection <눈 덮인 정원의 밤> that will be released in the next few months! I can’t wait to share this!

hey everyone! so i’m taking my korean studies to the next level! i’ve officially signed up to take the placement exam for the korean immigration and integration program. the program teaches korean language (and eventually culture) to foreigners residing here in korea. 

my exam is scheduled for november 3rd which isn’t too long from now. my friends and i are all taking it and we’re kind of nervous. none of us have ever taken formal korean language classes before and we’re hoping we’re placed in the same class together. 

i’m excited to see how these courses go as they are 100 hours each, except for level 0 which is 15 hours. here’s to improving my korean as much as i can while living here!

I would like to say I bought the 8.00 and change version of the app Drops to study Korean at the intermediate level and it has a bunch of basic vocabulary you think I would know by now, but I don’t! And it is super easy and fun to study with so I highly recommend it. There is also a free version but you have a limited abmount of study time each day, but you can earn more time by logging in every day.

On the plus side, my whole family has banded together to mock the Japanese language every time I study, so now they no longer mock me for studying Korean.

The real struggle with having international friends, is that none of them have watched The Princess Bride, and this has been more of a problem than I had anticipated.
