Learning Korean is Fun

학교

I have not updated very much lately. (Last post…Jan 6th? That’s like a light-year away! ) I’m sorry. :( I really would like to get back into studying Korean but, yes, due to school, I haven’t had much time. I prefer Korean over all my other subjects but priorities are priorities. I wish I had Korean as one of my subjects! 

I would like to get back into writing a couple of posts soon, maybe next week or something like that. The sooner the better! All you guys must be studying much more than me though. :D

Bibimbap!

어제 점심은 맛있는 돌솥비빔밥을 먹었어요. 진짜 돌솥비빔밥을 맛있어요.
Yesterday for lunch, I ate some tasty Dolsot Bibimbap. Dolsot Bibimbap is delicious.

I had some Bibimbap for lunch yesterday! I love this restaurant, their Bibimbap is good. @_@ Especially since it’s in a stone pot. I now know that using a stone pot seriously does make a great difference… I also really like their Jjampong! The workers, I think are more friendly too compared to the other Korean restaurant I visited.

Sometimes I have been trying to say little bits and pieces in Korean and I think they understand what I say! But the lady spoke too fast for me when she spoke to me, it was too fast haha and I misheard what she said. I just replied with, “아니요” ㅠㅠ I later realized that she asked, “한국어를 공부해요?” the minute I left. I hope she remembers me next time I visit, so I can tell her I can correct myself and say I’m trying to learn Korean. :D

It feels really awkward trying to speak it with someone…lol but this is the closest I get to speaking with a native. I have to make the most of it hahaha

Anyway back to the Bibimbap. I didn’t love Bibimbap at first, it was okay, but I didn’t love it. But now I do! It tastes so much better in a stone pot too! I’ll probably order some Jjampong next time, or try something new. I should learn more Korean as well…

Photos! 여기에 사진있어요! 

 

I really like it when eggs are have a more yellow/orange-yellow yolk. I don’t like eating pale-colored egg yolks. It tastes better! …Ok I just searched it up and the reason why some eggs have a richer color in yolk is that the Hen probably had a less restricted diet, she didn’t just eat chicken feeds. Probably free-range as well and less stressed out. A little random hehe. 

빠담빠담… 그와 그녀의 심장박동소리 EP 9

빠담빠담… 그와 그녀의 심장박동소리 EPISODE 9

A couple of lines I picked up while watching an episode of Padam Padam! I am really enjoying this drama, not only do the leading male and female lead have lovely chemistry, the leading male character, Kang Chil (pictured above) is just great with everyone. 

Here they are. They are pretty basic haha just like my listening skills. Out of all the lines, I only managed to get like 6! T_T 

Anyway,

난 널 믿지 않아
I think this is a more polite way to write/say it: 저는 널 믿지 않아요
I don’t trust you.

재미있지 않나요?
It’s interesting isn’t it?

참! (Or is it ‘잠’ or, ‘짬’?) 
Oh!/Oh yeah! (Probably can be translated into a few other similar words/expressions but I’ll just go with what the subtitles say ^_^)

서울은 너무 멀어요
Seoul is so far.

싸움이 싫어요!

If you’re interested in finding more information about, “Padam Padam” wiki.d-addicts has a page about it here. You can watch it here.

맞팔 감사합니다. Thank you for the follow.

Thank you very much for all the follows!! Wow, it’s so cool. ^_^ I don’t update very often, but when I do I hope you find the posts interesting. hehe. (I’m so so slow at learning and doing things…I need more time. haha.) 

I have been slowly trying to send people thank you messages, but after sending a few, I get a error message saying, “Whoa there! Please wait an hour before asking anymore questions!” T_T I know I probably missed a couple, and also some people have disabled their ask box, so I thought, writing a thank you post here may help. ^^

Hopefully everyone had a good start to their new year, whether they spent their new year staring at the computer (like me lol) eating delicious foods, watching fireworks, partying, or on holiday!  

Thank you again. This blog and this blog are awesome. I always see lots of their very helpful posts appear on my dashboard hehe. If you haven’t followed those two blogs, you should check them out. ^_^
