Injured, again.

I tore my toenail in half today. Oh.  My. God. It's seriously like, the second worse pain of my life, topped only by the feeling of my tissues being eaten by toxins :I It hurts to even put weight on that foot, so I'm sort of not in the best shape today. I'm very tired.

Korean:
난 오늘 손톱이 부러 졌어요! 난 고통을 많이 해요. ;;; 난 그냥 자고 싶은데... 하지만 난 할 일이있어. Aiiish. 윌 누구 무역 상황? 정말 기분 나쁜!

Are my sentences getting better? I'm still relying on other sources a lot. But I'm so happy to do at least this much... At least it makes today a bit better.

좌절!

How I felt all day!

Ah~ My family was so bothersome today, it gave me a headache! I earned some money today, so that was nice. (Though a lot less than my sister did, for the same work!)

내 은니 오늘 정말 버릇이 있었어요!

I didn't learn much today~ But I'm very excited to go to Korea, more than ever! I'll make sure I can go somehow. Even if it takes all my energy~I'll be so happy, definitely worth it.

Also, sticker booths. That's where all my money will go I swear. 

Introduction

I wrote this a week ago, simple Korean is simple. OTLLL

안녕해세요!  내 가 샤이엔 오전. 저는 14 날. Kpop 저아요~ 제가 제일 좋아는 BOYFRIEND 입니다! 영민 는 귀여웠 입니다! 내가 제일 좋아는 색깧은 브라운 입니다. 내가 가장 좋아하는 동물은 양 입니다.

There are probably some spelling errors, since I do that a lot ;u; ;; But yeah, I'm getting better at Korea to say the least. Even though this isn't much, it feels like a lot. <3

Updates

그것은 오랜만이야!

I get distracted so easily... >w< ;; I've been practicing though, I promise. I've been working really hard between flashcards, and work books, and Rosetta stone. I got a little speaking practice in last week, but it was so confusing! The guy was in a PC-Bang and he called over all the people there to come speak English at me, but most of them spoke a weird Konglish mix all at once and it confused me! >< >< >< They made fun of my accent, but they were all very polite. (I've noticed that every Asian person I practice with calls me cute at sometime, it's really embarrassing)

School's out, so I'm upping the practice time. I want to  be conversational by the end of the summer at the least. I'm learning new words everyday, and I finally get verbs~ Korean actually makes a lot of sense when you get down to it.

I'm also planning a trip to Korea for when I turn 17. It's expensive, about $4500, but I'm going to work really hard~ I'm getting a job this summer, and I'm going to be a good worker. I want to tutor next year, and there are some kids who have an interest in learning Japanese and Korean, and I think I can at least get them to my level. I can express ideas and make sentences in Japanese, but I'll be learning with the kid that wants to learn I think~

So I'm going to work half my days on Korean for now, and half on Japanese. And hopefully I'll get somewhere. I really need to practice speaking Korean more, I keep stumbling. Maybe when my very cute oppa is out of school~ (But he'll sleep late I know it kkkk)

Practice is going well, in short, and I'm getting really ambitious. 


난 정말 열심히 일하고 것이다!

Conversations

So, I didn't update, sorry~ I was kept up until 1:30 two nights ago, and 11:30 last night. Ah, my oppa will be the death of me! kkk But I don't mind, he's fun to talk too, and really shy and cute! But I'm not sure if our calls can really be deemed as such, since we mostly just type because we're both too embarrassed to talk. Gradually I started talking, and I think he is too.

Needless to say, one language partner is going better than the rest. He's really nice, and I'm getting to the point where I'm not totally embarrassed to speak Korean outloud to him. I don't know why I get so nervous! I speak it all day long, and practice it every free moment I have, but I just like forget everything and stutter a lot. Ah~ ><;;

But the dinner dance is tonight! I'm excited. My dress is really pretty~ kkk I have no date though, so oppa is my "date"~ I've been writing down words in dictionary format, and reading them again and again until I memorize them. But sentence structure is kicking my butt! I think what I'm going to do is try writing with english words in that structure until I'm familiar with it. I will learn Korean, if it's the last thing I do! ><;;

Other than that there isn't much to report~ I learned some new phrases though I don't really know when I'd use them, considering we don't really talk outloud in Korean. kkkk

But I'll study really hard, and I can't wait for the summer, so I can go entire days trying to speak strictly Korean to help myself learn.

I'm trying really hard!

잘 가! <3

나 졸려!

It's 3 AM, and I can't fall back asleep. So, like a good teenager, I go blog about it. OTL ;;

The top says "I'm sleepy" which is hopefully actually spelled right. I embarrassed myself again in front of a different partner with spelling. 그레 instead of 그래. Dumb mistake was dumb...! /// But aside from that, I have yet to embarrass myself with 상현 this morning. Given, I have written any Korean yet---

All well~ I'm improving a bit, at least with typing. I don't hit the wrong keys as much.

But last night I had a sort of bad experience with a language partner. I'll just refer to this man as scary Ulzzang Oppa, because omg, he was beautiful. But his pretty face aside he was really creepy, and sort of of harassed me. I blocked him on skype an everything, but he made me really really uncomfortable! ><;; Luckily I don't think any of my other language partners are creepy~ They're all so nice, especially Kyu!

So, Korean phrase from last night.

komapchiman an dwaeyo! Shiroyo.
고맙지만 안돼요! 싫어요.
I'd rather not! I don't like that!

I still need to name my mascot for this blog! I'm thinking 처 렁 Because she looks like the character from the SBS drama Life is Beautiful. kkk

Anyway~ I should go do my homework or something.

잘 가!

Spelling; the Bane of my Existence.

So, I met this awesome korean boy who agreed to be my Language exchange partner. He's really nice, and his English is good; but I embarrassed myself horribly in front of him! I don't think  I spelled a single thing right when talking to him! Ah, I just about died, my face was so red, even after I got on the bus! ////;;; OTL

I mean, my spelling isn't even that great in English, but in Korean, it's like... Bad. BAD. So I decided, I'm going to give myself spelling tests to prevent further embarrassment (hopefully). I figure if he and I speak over skype maybe I can redeem myself a bit, but the time difference is such a pain~

Anticipating said call, I have been writing down anything I could possibly need in a conversation ( a short one) questions, answers, filler responses when I have no idea what he says. The whole nine-yards. I have a Korean dictionary at the ready for when I eventually speak to him, or any of my other partners.

I like him best though, maybe because he isn't that much older than me. Three years. :> Everyone else is 5+ plus so it's sort of awkward. I'll be introducing my cute blog mascot later, so look forward to that~

감사합니다 , 박 상현~ ㄱㄱㄱ!

잘 가! <3

Back Pain [edit]

[Edit] I thought I should add a phonetic guide sort of thing, for those of you who can't read Hangul.

Okay, so it's official. I did something horrible to my back. Not sure what, or how, but I did. So I think this is a perfect chance to practice some Korean. I think a good way of doing this (as suggested by a language teacher) is to write my feelings often in Korean. Now, forgive my spelling. OTL

So, first in English.

I've been injured. My back hurts, I have pain in my neck, and ribs. My wrist is swollen, ouch it hurts! :c

And in Korean (oh here goes nothing ////;;)
천 다첬어요. 허리 거 어파요, 먹, 거슴, 에 똥증이  있어요. 선먹 이 브넜어요. 어! 어파요!
Chon tachossoyo. Hori ga apayo, mok, kosum, e ttongjungi issoyo. Sonmok i punossoyo. Ah! Apayo!

Ah it feels really, really, good to be able to write that much. Even though it's not a lot, even to be able to express a little bit of how I feel in Korean is really nice. But hope that my back starts feeling better guys! It really hurts, it's even hard to breath, and I'll probably go lay down in a little bit. I hope icing it can help me get to school tomorrow.

I had a bad adjustment today too, so I hope I can get into my normal chyro soon :c

잘 거! <3

어냥해세요! [edit]

Ah, my first post! This feels kind of nice actually. I'm home from school today, I'm having severe back pain and I missed the bus. It really hurts!

Either way, in this blog  I'm going to be recording my efforts to learn Korean, so I can look back when I achieve fluency, and undoubtedly, laugh at myself. I've been learning for oh, a couple months? I'm not totally sure. I can carry simple conversations, and I mean simple. I might ask someone what they like to do, and not know what they say in return and simple say 천 더요! (Me too)

My newest attempt involves language partners, which is good. I added seven, yesterday, I think? Two of them responded. I haven't spoken verbally to them yet, but I know it'll go better than typing! I can't spell in Korean to save my life. Speaking, I'm okay--- typing/writing/everything else I'm sort of like ehh...

But I'm excited to talk to them both very soon and show off at least a little bit!

I've been writing down every korean phrase I could ever possibly use too, and I make monologues with cute little drama characters I made up. Maybe I'll make comics or something with them and upload them here. That'd be cute, right?

Also, thinking about getting a tumblr! I don't think I'd use it much but... I may as well try.

잘 가! <3

Edit; I can't tell my vowels apart at five in the morning apparently otl
