[Korean Phrases] 어머니날

It’s Mothers Day :)

So a little Korean sentence that has the theme of Mothers Day ^^ we can learn some new (or not so new!!) vocabulary.

I chose two Korean sentences that I wanted to say to my Mum :)

1.

어머니날을 맞아 꼭 드리고 싶은 말씀이 있어요

어머니 – Mother

– day

– particle

맞아 – be right/correct

– surely

드리고 – offer

싶은 – conjugation of ‘싶다’

말씀 – word (honorific)

있다 – to be

Translation is then ‘Because its Mother’s Day I just want to take some time to something’ or something similar to “Since its Mother’s Day let me say something” :) something like that!! and then the next  sentence is something cuter and probably more like what you (ME) would say to my Mom <3

2.

“엄마 영원히 사랑해용”

엄마 – Mummy

영원 – forever/eternity

사랑해요! – I love you!

Which is something close to ‘Mommy I love you forever and ever’ :) I knew most of the vocabulary and grammar which is great now I just have to tell my Mummy :) 안녕히 계세요 ~!! 뿅뿅

지금 자야 되요!! ㅋㅋ Feel free to leave your comments :)

Where am I? – Korean

I have been studying Korean for just over 2 years now but I wouldn’t say it was constant over the 2 years but over the last couple months (almost a year now) I would say I was more concerned with my studies in Korean so where am I really? 호호호

 

Am I Beginner? Intermediate? or somewhere lost in between!

 

Answer to that is ‘I’m not really certain’ but I know what the answer is – I’m lost in between :)

 

I’m neither a Beginner nor Intermediate I’m somewhere there in the middle ^^;;

 

Below is my Korean learning journey timeline :)

 

May 2011 Newbie Season 1-2 (KC101)
August KC101 Beginner 1
September KC101 Beginner 2
October (break)
November (break)
December KC101 Beginner 3
January 2012 KC101 Beginner 4
February (break)
March (break)
April KC101 Beginner 5

 

Then till I opened this blog all I would do was read a CNBLUE tweet or do a quick word quiz nothing much in the reach  of learning new material ㅠㅠ

 

Then I found ttmik and I just started from Level 1 and kept going for a little while till Level 3 and I haven’t really followed much since then ~ typical me ㅋㅋㅋ but what has helped is reading my Korean textbooks and books ^^ still lost though, haha…

 

So as you can see I had a lot of break in with my studies and that didn’t really pay off!!! Because now I am LOST…!!!

 

내가 잘 못 해서!!! this will not do problem needs to be rectified!!!

 

안녕 <3

[BLOG] 눈코 뜰 새 없이 바빴어

Hey ^^ I have been so busy lately that I didn’t have a lot of time to do many things :( but anyway I have some news so I am going to share it here, my previous post was a guest post by 1Choi from the online Korean store twoChois.com who have also very generously sent me a Korean textbook to review (currently waiting for it) I was given the choice of choosing the book I wanted to review and since I have always wanted to try the Yonsei series but most of the online stores where I buy my Korean books have them but at a very high price (most $35-40$) per book I found that a bit too much especially since I don’t really know if the books are that good in the first place, but now at least I will get to see the book and make a decision on whether the Yonsei books are worth their extremely steep price tag or not (:  and if they are I will be buying more!!!

 

212061961s__31595.1366214065.1280.1280

 

I chose the Yonsei 4-1 because I don’t know how high the levels are but 4 seems like it is enough for me to handle but also a challenge enough, I’m not sure but I guess I will see soon what its like (hopefully soon!!)

 

In the meantime I have found myself addicted to SHINee’s new song “Why So Serious” after I watched it on Music Bank last week (: 멌이는 남자

 

 

끝 ….나중에 봐요 ㅋㅋ~
