December 12th - December 19th

TTMIK lesson (2nd?)

True Beauty bi-lingual read 1 chapter + Quizlet grouped by theme (kinda want to go back to my KR-KR idea, and can have a separate quizlet set that defines the definitions (with 한자) and these would just be tested for recognition instead of recall KR-Eng)

use 5-10 new words and a TTMIK grammar lesson to write a story (adventure, quest) entry and set a mini-goal for next time - or just example sentences

(consider also writing a simple book summary in target lang/include something to do with book im reading journal)

watch a kdrama for 10 min with KR subs and try to spot words I just learned

// Have a weekly review of vocab and a weekly review of grammar (summarize using all vocab learned from the past 5 entries). incorporate: personal goals, to future self, interests, culture. summarize comic plot

Keep track of my score: +1 point for each correctly used word or phrase or grammar point (relevant to the day) +2 points for using a word in multiple contexts (e.g., using a word both as a noun and a verb).

Reward myself: 1 episode after a journal entry or review day

I think I would've liked a study guide and some proof it works/a system for checking language acquisition through media: something like language golf. the lower the score, the better. the lower the amount of unknown words or grammar parts the better. The goal is to get through a comic chapter or 2 minutes of a kdrama without exceeding 3 new or unknown words or grammar. make sure this is just a competition against the self.

I can also time my journal entries. can track the time:word ratio.

can release only what I've tried and tested after 1 week.

[translate and solve 1 crossword clue (app) or consider a word of the day from the korean dictionary where i translate the defintion instead of the word (would be cool to make a linked wiki like this)]

Korean English Translation

I'm reading this book. Today I read about:

Common problems of non-equivalence: (pg. 29) and Translation Techniques (pg. 33)

I'm looking forward to doing some of her translation exercises, or doing some of my own from Webtoon. The book Everlasting Empire by Yi In-hwa also sounds interesting.

We're not dating! - Episode 3

우리 안 사귀어!! - 3화 in English.

Translations below.

***

*step step*

If you ask me what kind of relationship I have with Sae-yan...

Hand!

Let's go.

*woof*

...(it's like having a) puppy?

***

I WILL make you embarrassed!! (??) (1)

Um, I think our IQ is also probably the same? (2)

But if you really care that much about how it looks... (3)

There's also a way to really date. (4)

*cr-ackk* (thunder)

Ehh??

***

Oh~ What's with the reaction? Can't I even get upset?

*jook* *grab*

Ahoo Ahoooh ahoohoh~ ahoo ohohh~ I'm already upset you see~ I'm against violence~

But since we were little we've even seen the stuff of each other we're not supposed to see! What do you mean we're dating now, I can't do it because I'm embarrassed! (5)

But, aren't you ashamed to go to school holding hands every day...?

Don't be keep cowardly pushing the facts!! (my note: honestly the interaction in the panel is just confusing me. I don't fully understand what's going on. I don't THINK my translations are that off tho...)

*hit hit hit*

Idiot! Idiot! Why are you always okay and I'm the only one who's embarrassed?!

***

Why do you think. That's...

*tilt*

Already, from that day a long time ago, it was you who I -

*sigh*

Ah, anyways! It's okay just holding your hand! Just your hand!

*smirk*

Okay. Alright.

***

It's getting late. C'mon let's go.

*swallow*

Okay!

*tap*

It's just holding hands--

***

We...are not dating!!

***

Translation Notes:

야 말겠어

ㄹ걸 - to state or refute in an unsure way

~ㄴ/는다면. When used like this, there is a little bit more of an emphasis of the fact that the action is a supposition/assumption than when ~(으)면 is used. Therefore, the translation of “if” is more commonly used with ~ㄴ/는다면.

ㄴ 다는 - 사랑한다는 말 해 Say that you love me! (about love/the first part …) / 사랑하는 말 해 Say the words that you love! (describing "word"/what comes next; adjective) [사귄다는 방법 있어 vs. 사귀는 방법: There is method that is dating + method of dating(??)] Other translation option: There's also a way that we can really date.

ㄴ 다니 - create a meaning that implies the speaker’s surprise, displeasure, or astonishment to what was said immediately before.

ending a sentence with 고 - still means "and," "and (then)," just indicates that you are not yet finished speaking; softens speech.

We're not dating! - Episode 2

우리 안 사귀어!! - 2화 in English.

Translations below.

***

At the end of last year, I had a big accident on my way to school.

Even after I left the hospital, I stayed home for a long time…

You have all kinds of hobbies and enjoy them, yet at the same time

It became harder and harder to cross the my room's threshold.

But curiously -

***

I feel okay when I hold Chan-min's hand. I'm not scared of going to school.

But the problem is...

Sae-yan, you need to hurry up and get ready. Your boyfriend will come soon~

Ah, mom! He's not my boyfriend!

Everyone asks if we're dating!

He's already been holding my hand on the way to school throughout a whole month, so ugh of course they do!

***

Besides, even when it was time to go home, he confidently came to the class and found me...

*chatter chatter*

Come on, let's go, Sae-yan.

Woo Chanmin doesn't have any shyness? I'm the only one who's shy and self-conscious, so it's like...

*shake shake*

It feels like I just have a crush and him he doesn't like me back!!

***

I can't do this because I'm so upset... Oh! Aha! I have a good idea!

Conversely, I can make Chanmin embarrassed, too! (Because, I can do it too, see?!)

Come on, let's go back together...

Huh?

*swoosh*

***

Yeah, let's go!

*grab* *noisy noisy*

What do you think? You're also embarrassed if I do this, right?

...whether it's on purpose or stupid. (I guess more rumors will spread.)

***

That night

I'm a fool! It's just me who's become more embarrassed!

*hit hit*

Translations below.

***

Everyone, please pair up.

Heyy, I don't want to be paired with Chan-min.

Teacherrr, I don't want to hold hands with him.

His hands are sweaty all the time...

...it feels bad.

***

Chan-min! Then, do you want to be my partner?

The childhood friend who held my hand that day…

***

Confined to one's room like a recluse.

*wiggle wiggle*

No! I'm not going to school!!

But if you act like this, won't you flunk out?

Woo Chan-min (2nd year student)

I can't help it! I'm not going! No, I can't go!

***

I have a disease that kills me when I'm exposed to the sun

Okay, okay~ I'll bury you right in a sunny spot.

*pull*

Jeong Sae-yan (2nd year studen)

You're mean!

And you! How did you get in my house?!

Your mother opened the door for me. (It's not your house, it's your parents house)

Mom?! Did you betray your only daughter?!

For your information, if you are absent again today, Netplix will be canceled.

No way!! I'm really going to die!!

***

Anyway, I have to slowly start...

*sneak*

No, you can't! Seriously, stop!!

*shout*(1)

Seriously, I'm scared to go out...

I really can't go out

***

If you're scared because you're alone -- let's go together.

*offer*

This time I'll hold it for you.

*raise*

My hand...you can't let it go?

Oh, but will you be okay? I still have hyperhidrosis.

You don't sweat when you hold my hand.

Well, I guess that's true. Since we are so comfortable.

That's how we started - this relationship of only holding hands.

T/N:

몹시 불쾌하여 갑자기 소리를 지르거나 화를 내는 모양.; A person who is very displeased and suddenly screams or gets angry.; *sudden shout*;lost temper (my previous transltion: *sudden*)

[hopefulpenguincreator]

Takeaways:

phonology - get a different "mouth feel" for each language up front, imo, practice sounds/pronunciation and also some echo and record practice.

different places - physically study the two different languages in different places (hmm not my desk, i want that to remain neutral, mayyybe the car for one language of podcasts, but...hmm library Korean? cafe Swedish? idk maybe not the library bc i don't want to worry about talking, but they do have study rooms, ill think about my places...)

when thinking/studying one language, don't bother thinking up the same word in the other language you are studying (suppression). It's fine if you know it in both languages off the bat, but if not, this is just an opportunity to practice keeping the languages separate.

Sacred Economics - 성스러운 경제

파파고의 도움이 많이 필요했어요...ㅎㅎ

[지난번에: 작가가 이자를 반대이에요. 이자는 어떤 사��들 부자를 돼고 어떤 사람들 힘들어요. 커뮤니티에서 어떻게 잘 살아요.]

성스러운 경제는 우리 다 번영할 수 있는 경제에 대해요. 사람들의 삶의 질과 환경 관리를 우선시한 경제 시행하려고 이책은 일련의 정책 옵션들와 변화들이 제시해요. 단계적인 작가가 현대 산업 경제에 주요 이슈 설명해요/검토해요. 작가가 이런 경제 피해를 피하기 위해 어떻게 변화하기도 제시하다.

작가가 반복하는 다른 이야기가 있어요:

사람들은 닭과 햄을 교환하고 서로 돕는 습관이 있었어요. 근데 한 남자가 마을에 와서 각각 가족에게 가죽 원 10(십) 개 줬어요. 이거으러 교환가 더 쉬워졌는데 그 남자가 각각 가족에게 내년 원 11(십일) 개 받아 줜 냐고했어요. 11번째 원은 절대 안 만들었어요. 11번째원은 가족에게 꼭 올야 돼요. 그래서 폭풍이 닥쳤을 때 서로 돕는 것을 멈췄어요.

이 이야기는 우리가 고대 선물 경제에서 돈 시스템까지 어떻게 이사했어라고 해요. (어떻게?) 돈 시스템은 경쟁과 희소성을 조장하고 커뮤니티를 파괴하고 끝없는 성장을 필요했어요. 작가가 돈 시스템이 어떻게 변화해야 하는지 설명해고 더 지속 가능한 생활 방식으로 변화할 수 있는 기회 있어라고 해요.

This story shows (in a little way) how we have moved away from the ancient gift economies to the money system.

How the money system has encouraged competition and scarcity, destroyed community and necessitated endless growth.

The author describes how the money system will have to change and says we have an opportunity to transition to a more sustainable way of living.

Sacred economics is about outlining an economy in which we can all prosper. It presents a series of policy options and changes that we could implement in order to live in an economy that prioritizes people's quality of life and the care of the environment. Step-by-step he examines major issues with modern industrial economies which have become common, and presents what is wrong with them and how to change things so that the damage that they cause is avoided.

There is a story from a different book that the author recalls:

People used to trade chickens for hams and had a habit of helping each other out. But then one man came to town and introduced them to money in the form of leather rounds. To each family he gave 10 leather rounds. It was an easier bartering tool. But he asked to be returned 11 leather rounds from each family the following year. The 11th round was never made. The 11th round had to come from the families. So when the storms came, they stopped helping each other out.

this story illustrates how we have moved away from the ancient gift economies and how the money system has fostered...

"traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has fostered competition and scarcity, destroyed community and necessitated endless growth....[The author ultimately says that we have an ] opportunity to transition to a more sustainable way of living. This book is about how the money system will have to change." - book summary

pg. 95 An Economic Parable

from a different book called "The Future of Money"

People used to trade chickens for hams and had a habit of helping each other out. But then one man came to town and introduced them to money in the form of leather rounds. To each family he gave 10 leather rounds. It was an easier bartering tool. But he asked to be returned 11 leather rounds from each family the following year. The 11th round was never made. The 11th round had to come from the families. So when the storms came, they stopped helping each other out.
