you know what i find really weird? that when people ask me what languages i can speak or what languages i’m studying, i never think of saying “english” too. knowing this particular language is such a taken for granted thing, like everyone everywhere should know it, like it doesn’t take years of efforts and immersion, mistakes upon mistakes, constant trial and error. so i guess what i want to say to those who are not english natives: congratulations. you do know a language, however much it feels some days like it’s obvious you should know it. you worked for it, however much passively it entered your life. and you’re doing amazing.

[Korean learner's mistake] Both 존중 and 존경 translate as 'respect', but they are different.

[Korean learner’s mistake] Both 존중 and 존경 translate as ‘respect’, but they are different. . . Hello. This is the Korean Grammar Doctor. 안녕하세요. 한국어 문법 의사입니다. . . Under my observation, lots of Korean learners(especially English speakers) are confused between 존중 and 존경. Both words translate as ‘respect’ in English, but they are basically different. . . According to Korean learner’s dictionary, 존중 means 의견이나 사람을 높이어 귀중하게 여김 (The act of thinking highly of and valuing an opinion or person.), understanding and accepting differences and diversity. a feeling or understanding that someone or something is important, serious, etc., and should be treated in an appropriate way. . 개성Characteristics 존중. = 개성을 존중하다. 생명Life 존중. = 생명을 존중하다. 인간Human being 존중. = 인간을 존중하다. 인권Human right 존중. = 인권을 존중하다. . 존중히 respectfully 존중히 대하다. treat someone else 존중히 보다. view 존중히 생각하다. think 존중히 여기다. regard as . Meanwhile, 존경 means ‘어떤 사람의 훌륭한 인격이나 행위를 높이고 받듦.’ (The act of thinking highly of and revering the respectable character or behavior of a person.), a feeling of admiring someone or something that is good, valuable, important, / admiration. . . 존경의 대상 object of respect. 존경하는 마음 / 존경의 마음 with respect / admiration 존경을 받다. earn respect 존경스럽다 / 존경스러운 admirable 스승teacher 을 존경하다. 아버지father 를 존경하다. . ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ If you have any feedback or questions, please let me know. Thank you. The Korean grammar doctor will always be at Korean learner’s side! Stay TTTempting! 한국어 문법 의사는 언제나 한국어 학습자 곁에 있습니다! Stay TTTempting! ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

favorite language learning resources

duolingo- a lot of language learners have issues with it but it’s good to get a base on the language and they’re always adding new languages!

memrise- good for vocabulary and memorizing, they have a wide list of languages

babbel- really effective if you want to learn how to communicate with people or get around, costs money for the full version but they have sales all the time

hellotalk- language exchange app, i’ve had really good experiences with this app, the only downside is that you have to pay to select more than one language you want to learn

tandem- similar to hellotalk, i like it slightly less but it allows you to choose as many languages as you want!

forvo- you can listen to native speakers pronounce things! it’s amazing!

ipachart- interactive chart with the international phonetic alphabet

bab.la- another online dictionary with 24 languages

linguee- really great for learning phrases and seeing words in context

omniglot- encyclopedia of writing systems and languages, really great for learning new writing systems & also basic phrases! also has links to other resources!

hi, everyone!!

this is my first official post! even though it's a check-in lol. sorry it took awhile!

starting today i will be making posts about lessons, vocabulary, recommendations, tips, and other things based on my progess level. today, however, is just a check-in post to share my goals, the goals i have achieved, and everything in between.

today is an exciting day for me solely because i submitted an inquiry to study korean in korea! i have yet to figure out where in korea i will be studying or how long i'll be there, but i figured i'll put the fear of moving behind me, even though i've always wanted to move elsewhere, so i won't miss this opportunity.

i have also met my goals of:

· memorizing vocabulary words i've had difficulty with

· successfully learned how to conjugate verbs into present tense

my current goals are:

· successfully conjugating 20 different verbs and wrote sample sentences to go along with them.

· complete my drops session in it's entirety

· learn future and past tense

· conjugate 10 more verbs

that's all for now and i hope you all will look forward to my oncoming posts!! ♡

“im learning another language” can only mean two things:

I have been studying this language for over a decade please forgive any mispronunciation im still learning

i have a 2 day streak in duolingo and IM REALLY FEELING IT THIS TIME

if your interest in culture and language doesn’t come from true love of humanity and love for every unique corner of our world , then it might be misdirected and you might just be a collector and instead treat these living and breathing cultures like they’re yours to take and study.

How do you know which one you are? Some deep reflection on your intentions is in order. For example, if you get offended when a member of a closed culture tells you they’re uncomfortable with you learning their language, then that’s a sign that you truly don’t care about these cultures, as cultures are far more than just a culture to be studied and prodded at. They are the people, the living and breathing people, that make up this culture, and you’re literally just throwing away the very important viewpoint, the ONLY viewpoint that matters in this case, of a native of this culture. Think to yourself, why do you want access to this culture so badly? Is it really out of passion and love?
