NEW Masterlist

안녕하세요 여러분! Hi everyone! I realized that my old masterlist was getting SUPER long, so I decided to break it up! Now this is a list of smaller lists of lessons based on levels. I hope this makes it easier to navigate my Tumblr and looks a little less overwhelming :) To see all of my lessons on one page, though, click here!

My lessons are organized based on how advanced I think they are in my personal opinion, but I recommend browsing each level and just looking at what you want to learn. If a lesson has any “prerequisites,” meaning you need to know a different concept before you can learn about the one in that particular lesson, I probably mention that. My point is what might be “intermediate” for me might not be “intermediate” for you, so just look around!

As always, feel free to message me with any messages you may have about any of these lessons!! Happy studying! 화이팅!

Having a hard time explaining to people that studying 4 languages doesn't mean I now speak 5 languages, but actually something more like, -7.3 instead

language learning (affectionate): there are so many words!!

language learning (derogatory): there are so. many. words.

reading in your target language is like

*reads two words* *picks up dictionary* *reads two more words* *looks up two words in dictionary* *understands two sentences* *rejoices* *looks up word in dictionary* *finally understands the sentence* *looks up same word in dictionary* *despairs* *reads under breath to aid comprehension* *opens up dictionary again* *understands every single word in the sentence but doesn’t understand the sentence* *sighs* *picks up dictionary* *understands more sentences* *rereads same sentence three times* *doesn’t understand* *opens dictiona—

No I don't know how to introduce myself in the language I'm currently studying but I do know how to say "the teacher doesn't eat fish" so who's the real winner here

Beauty

아름다움

바다를 액자에 건다. 바다에 가라앉는 나를 본 적이 있다. 팔다리가 부식되어 산호가 되어갔다. 허옇게 변한 사지가 산호들 사이에 갇혀 있었다. 노랗거나 파란 물고기들이 주변을 배회했다. 저기 열대어가 있어. 스킨다이버들이 내 쪽을 가리키며 말했다. 젖은 빵을 찢어 던졌다. 아름답다는 말을 산호숲에 남겨두고 스킨다이버들은 뭍으로 돌아갔다. 나를 그곳에 둔 채 나도 꿈에서 빠져나왔다. 이곳을 떠나본 자들은 지구가 아름다운 별이라 말했다지만 이곳에서만 살아본 나는 지옥이 여기라는 걸 증명하고 싶다. 나를 여기에 둔 채 나는 저곳으로 다시 빠져나가서 정육점과 세탁소 사이에 임대문의 종이를 쳐다보고 서 있다. 텅 빈 상가 속에서 마리아가 혼자 퀼트 천을 깁고 있다. 이 액자를 다시 바다에 건다.

- 임솔아, 괴괴한 날씨와 착한 사람들

Beauty

I hang the ocean on a picture frame.

I have seen myself sink into the ocean. My limbs corroded and became coral.

My limbs, bleached white, were imprisoned between the corals. Fishes that were yellow or blue wandered nearby.

There’s a tropical fish. Free divers pointed towards my direction and said. They tore bits of wet bread and threw it. After leaving the word beautiful in the coral forest the free divers went back to land.

I too, having left myself there, exited the dream.

Those who have tried leaving here say that Earth is a beautiful planet but I, who has only ever lived here, want to prove that hell is here, nowhere else.

Having left myself here, I left to go there once more

I stand, staring at the open lease sign between the butcher shop and the laundromat. In the middle of an empty store, Maria stands alone mending a patch of quilt .

I hang this picture frame once more on the ocean.

사소한 행복 오훈

깊은 밤에 편의점에서 라면을 먹는다

그 곳엔 남학생들이 무리지어 야식을 먹고 있다

라면을 살 돈이 있고 이곳에 올 건강한 몸이 있다는 문득 소중히 느껴진다

행복을 편의점에서 발견한 내가 대견하다

사소한 행복을 매순간 발견하는 소중한 내 자신이 되고 싶다

SMALL JOY Oh Hoon

To eat Ramyeon at a convenience store during a deep night.

A group of male students is eating a midnight snack at that place.

To have money to buy Ramyeon and having a healthy body

to come to this place, makes me suddenly feel precious.

I am proud of the me, who discovered happiness at a convenience store.

I want to become the precious me,

who discovers small joy at every given moment.

[outrodal]

you are allowed to be proud of yourself for things that might seem small to other people.
