A clever guy sang " 다행이다" with guitar background in Korean then he's videoed what he's done.



So I decided to put on here original one with rough translation. You will find it interesting I hope so. Apart from his music his Korean is really good of course you can do it too!

I went to the Jamsil Baseball stadium to see the game a week ago. Me and my friends sat in the side of Home team, LG Twins. It was the match of Samsung Lions against LG Twins. The game was so annoying that I was nearly fed up with watching it. The score was five nil. Samsung was far ahead of LG and LG seemed they gave up this match. Lots of mistakes had been sucking them into the humiliating defeat. People who cheered LG looked like they were at funeral. However! My little angels came in front of us. Cheerleader is 치어리더 in Korean. Baseball, we call it " 야구" 야구장 is baseball stadium, foot ball is 축구 so you can make football stadium in your own. 축구 장 is football stadium. Basket ball is 농구.what is basket ball stadium? 농구장!

사물놀이(Samulnori) is a genre of traditional percussion music originating in Korea. The word 사물 means "four objects" and 놀이 means "play" 사물놀이 is always performed with four traditional Korean musical instruments. (Wikipedia) Let's get straightforward. I'd say "사물놀이" is "haveing fun, rock'n roll" with four instruments. You got it? If you see the video below you mgiht see how much they enjoy themselves during whole performance.

Hello How are you doing? How's weather over there? Here, South Korea weather's turned into spring it's so nice. Sometime the temperature drops down so quick but it gets warmer again. I love spring, autumn rather than summer, winter. Just not good for hanging out. Summer is horrible. High humidity, monsoon, high temperature are where you get annoyed without any reason.

One of my friend 진선 helped me to record. So you will hear proper conversation between two people.....

Relax and have fun! Reminds you do not push you up so fast unless you are so desperate for learning Korean. Just have fun with Korean and Korea do not make you get bored while you study Korean. Cheers!

안녕 Listeners! 안녕하세요 Listeners! What's the difference between two? Yeah the first one is 반말 and second one is 높임말. I bet one of the crazy things to learn Korean is studying 반말 and 높임말. Because Korean is one of the most weird languages which has got different style of language you should choose regarding to a situation in which you are. I can't come up with any other words for explaining existence of 반말 and 높임말. Korean grows up with it but you are not that's why you feel hard to study it. Does mean there are no way to know how random our 반말 and 높임말 rule is.

Anyway to sort out the problem of you've got about 반말 and 높임말, we'll start with the question from Japan asking us difference between 나 and 저. It's so important that I decided to share her question with you. then We'll study how read and say Korean numbers and which words should be used to say month and date.

If you successfully finish this episode you can read it



Good luck to you guys

Episode 43 I got this photo at Korean class at S University. Of course it shouldn't be disseminated on the internet because the author of this writing doesn't know I took his work. As I saw this first time I felt kind of frustration. It seemed done by intermediate student though he wrote it very clearly, sincerely. Jesus Christ so I decided to show you this one in order to let you know what good writing is in Korean. I got a picture slightly out of focus so I copied it down on the web again and corrected its grammatical problem. 좋은 학생은 ......... 해야 해요 Good student should .............. 공부 많이 해야 해요 study hard That's right. If you want to be called a good student you must study hard. If you use ~야 해요 at the end of the sentence you can make it having meaning of " should, or ought " kind of things. Let's look at the other one. 술 많이 마셔야 해요 drink a lot It's actually half right half wrong. In fact if you study Korean and you want to improve your speaking skill drinking hell of 술 with Korean can be a perfect solution but it doesn't fit for all the situation. 일찍 일어나야 해요 get up early in the morning Great He must be very good student. He seems study a lot and drink a lot to improve his language skill and furthermore he thinks waking up early in the morning to start up the day early than the other. Now he is perfectly ready to be a good student! 주말에 나이트에 가야해요 go to club in the weekend Right! Good and clever student doesn't get stuck in the room all the time. Doing sports and dancing and singing can get student efficient for studying. 많이 여자 친구하고 만나야 해요 meet many girl friends That's cool! I want to meet a girl friend too. hope many, anyway girl friend or boy friend can help student absorb the language. He knows how to learn language very well. 그래서 자야 해요.. so sleep with her ...................................................................................................................................................................... 매일 학교에서 배워야 해요. learn something at school Yeah, Education is very important I agree. I think he's turned back to good student in this sentence 항상 섹시 여자친구가 있어야 해요 . have sexy girl friend all the time Bentley 자동차가 있어야 해요. have a Bentley Now I am really wondering who is this guy and where he comes from. Putting your sincerity on your writing is always good however not this way and not in this context. You know what I mean.......

I went to Korean National Tourism Organization to see their event showing Korean traditional games in Korea and letting volunteer take part in any activities yesterday. There were few tourists enjoying themselves but not many. One of volunteers working as a translator at the venue said sometime the venue is really packed by tourists who want to have an experience play Korean traditional games. For you, who can't come over here and see what's going on, I went there and made a short video clip. Enjoy! and join the survey.

A: How are you doing?
B: I am fine and You?
A: I am fine too Thank you

I do remember when I started to be taught English teacher in English class had me to remember that short conversation in a book first. Fortunately I realised that there were so many greetings in English after I left high school when I was 19. Put it another way I had thought people who live with English would be so bored to say " Hello " to their neighbours with one greeting till I graduated High school.

New government published new policy to fix up English education problem which has been messing up whole Korean students since South Korea was appeared on the world map. It is really controversial issue in Korea. I just hope new government's ambitious education policy
makes a difference.

So What I wanted to say is ...Let's study Korean!
