안녕하세요 저는 승입니다~

In this Blog I am going to talk about (mostly) the most confusing parts I have encountered while learning Korean.

       First of all I am half Korean, and I have been learning Korean for more than 2 years. I have never been in Korea. For that 2 years I have been learning Korean, although I can pull off a bit of a Korean conversation, still up to this day I am not Fluent, Yes I cannot understand dramas without subtitle, I cannot understand the movies without subtitle, I cannot understand the Korean music, unless I spend hours trying to figure out every idioms, and words that I don't know in dictionary.

        The reason I was not able to learn Korean well, was due to the factors: I am not using Korean language for my daily basis, I don't live with my dad, my dad is in Korea, and I am not using Korean in the country that I live in right now. The best way to learn a language is to go to the country itself and practice speaking the language everyday ( this is the best way to learn but I am not saying it is the only way to learn, as I am learning Korean language harder than ever today, and I am sure,I will be really fluent soon in no time). Secondly I lacked the motivation to learn, as I preferred playing video games, ( league of legends and other things? aha ) I lost focus, for over a year I have lost focus. When learning a language focus is a thing you must not lose.  
Also, I don't attend Korean classes

      As said before, It has been 2 or more years since I have started learning Korean, but this year was my most productive year as I have improved a lot for I am eagerly studying everyday. I am learning Korean mostly through this site : www.howtostudykorean.com and from a Kakao Group, which we have Korean Natives to help us, and answers every question we throw in.

I really thank the people from kakao group for helping me a lot especially 찬형~ 많이 도와줘서 감사합니다

Adding ~시

안녕하십시오, 안녕하십니까? 잘 하시네요?! What the hell does 시 means?!  To make a the long idea short, you add 시 when the person you are talking about deserves respect. I was confused too... I thought adding 요 and ~ㅂ니다 is all you need to show respect. The thing is, you use 시 when the person you are talking about deserves the respect. for example you want to say that your father went home already You add (으)시 to the stem of the verb/adjectives 우리  아버지는 집에 이미 갔어요.  Even though you have put 요 This will be rude to say. You will want to give respect to your father by putting 시 우리  아버지는 집에 이미 가셨어요. 가다 => 가시다  갔다=> 가셨다  more example 형이 저한테 한국어를 가르치주셨어요. 형 Taught me Korean. 잘하시네요! - You did well! same meaning with (잘하네) but a lot more polite. Note: I have highlighted this and mentioned this a lot but you only use 시 when talking to a person that deserves respect. You dont use 시 when you talk about yourself. 저는 어제 학교에 가셨어요 - This would be wro...

한자 및 어휘 Hanja and Vocabularies

한자   Memorizing Vocabularies through Hanja I found a great way to memorize vocabularies. It is through  Hanja 한자  not exactly about Chinese characters but about their meaning Most of the Korean vocabularies are influenced by Hanja, so knowing a great amount of Hanja is pretty useful in learning Korean. If you know well enough you would be able to atleast guess what a word means correctly. I can't explain it well so I'll give examples how it will be easy to memorize vocabularies with Hanja. Each Hanja characters have meanings, if you know what they mean it will be probably easy to guess what a word means for example: 학 (學)  = 배우다/공부하다 (To learn/Study) Words that it can build: 학 교(學校)  = School 학 습(學習) = Learning/Study (Korean study 한국어 학습) 학 자(學者) = Scholar 학 원(學院) = Academy As you can see they all have 학 and they are all connected to studying and learning. now we can take the second 한자 from "학교(學校) = School " and learn new sets for wo...
