I’ve been loving this tool to practice my writing and using it for work emails. As a Korean American my biggest problems are spelling (writing as I hear it) and the spaces between words (띄어쓰기). Even tho it’s still in beta this tool has been invaluable in helping me check my writing!

 I was debating if I should get a writing tutor or not but I think for now I will use this and once I have money I’ll get a tutor.

kwotd: 식감 = texture of a food

금요일에 인도 카레집에서 밥을 먹었다. 원래는 치킨 마살라 시키는데 이번에는 못 먹어본 거 시켰다. 칼칼하고 맛있었다. 

카레 안에 두부 있는 줄 알았는데…현실은 치즈였다! 진짜.. 찌개용 두부 모양과 식감 비슷했는데 친구가 인도 치즈라고 알려줬다. 다시 보니 두부보다 좀 더 고소하더라. 신기했다. 

On Friday I ate at an Indian restaurant. I usually get the Chicken Masala but this time I ordered something different. It was nice and spicy. 

I thought there was tofu inside the curry but.. it was actually cheese! It really looked and had the texture of tofu you put in stews but my friend informed me that it was cheese that they put in indian food. On second taste, it did taste a little more cheesy. It was pretty interesting.

해방촌에 있는 유명한 맛집 카사브랑카에 갔다. 제일 마음에 들었던 접은 천장에 있는 모로코식 램프였다. 분위기 좋은 모로코 음악 나오는 곳에서 식사하니 기분이 좋았다. 

I ate at a famous Moroccan sandwhich shop in HBC today. My favorite part was the lamps on the ceiling. I also liked how they played Morrocan music while I ate.

wotd: 양 (portion, amount of food)

오늘은 arab음식을 먹었다. 식당이름은 halal guys였다. 원래 뉴욕에서 시작된 삭당인데 이제 서울점도 생겼네. 맛있었는데 양이 좀 부족했다.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 미국 많금 양이 필요해.ㅜ 그리고 물이 공짜가 아니라서 점수를 깎았다.ㅋㅋ 레드 소스가 매운데 물은 있어야지

Today I had halal from Halal Guys. They’re originally from New York but look’s like they made a Seoul location. It was good but the portion was a little small for me. I need American size portions haha. And there was no free water so points off for that. There should be water since red sauce is spicy.

kwotd= 혼밥 (slang for eating alone. derived from 혼자(alone/by myself) 밥먹어 (eat food)

오늘은 타코를 먹었다. 한국에서 되게 오랜만에 외식을 했다. 여기는 혼밥이 흔하지 않다는 것을 잊고있었다. 직원에게 1인분이라고 말했는데 갑자기 깨닫고 되게 당황했었다. 나���에 들어보니 요새는 혼밥이 조금 유행이지만 내가 볼 때는 미국만큼 흔하지 않다. 내가 보기에는 여기는 주로 맥도날드나 롯데리아나 김밥나라 같은 데에서 혼밥하는 것 같다.ㅎ 

I ate tacos today. I hadn’t eaten out in Korea for a long time so I’d forgotten that people here don’t eat out alone in public so when I told the worker table for 1 I suddenly remembered and felt a little embarrassed. Later I learned that eating alone in public here is more common and even ‘in style’ nowadays compared to the past. But I feel that people here eat out alone in places like McDonalds and Kimbap houses, not nice restaurants. haha

ㅇ/ㄴ 반면에

wotd: ~맛이났다 (tasted like~)

오늘 이태원에서 비건 햄버거 먹었다. 두부튀김버거였는데 치킨맛이났다. 맛있었지만 양식은 왤케 비싸지? 

Today I ate a vegan hamburger in Itaewon. It was a fried tofu burger but it tasted like fried chicken. It was good but why does western food have to be so expensiveee
