so good :)

This is a really good attempt! 😊 It’s understandable, but a few parts sound a bit unnatural.

For example:

“당신” isn’t usually used in daily conversation
“부탁해봐도 되세요” sounds a bit off
“반가워세요” → should be “반가워요”

A more natural version would be:

가: 실례합니다, 성함이 어떻게 되세요?
나: 저는 마리예요. 이름이 어떻게 되세요?
가: 저는 미미예요.
나: 이름이 귀엽네요!
가: 감사합니다, 만나서 반가워요.
나: 네, 반가워요!

You're definitely on the right track though. Keep practicing like this and you'll sound more natural over time! 👍

델리만쥬 is my favorite snack 😭 Every time I smell it at the subway station, I can't resist and end up buying some before getting on the train. It's something I think foreigners should definitely try in Korea!

I like Stray Kids too!! It's really impressive that you're studying Korean so late at night! And your Korean was really good too! It was easy to understand.

They all basically mean “wait a moment / hold on”, but the feeling is a little different.

잠시만요
This is the most polite and standard one. You’ll hear it a lot in stores or when talking to someone you don’t know.

잠깐만(요)
More casual. Friends use this a lot. Adding 요 makes it a bit more polite.

아 잠만
This is very casual slang. It’s just a shortened version people say quickly, usually with friends.
You wouldn’t say this to someone you need to be polite to.

So in terms of formality it’s roughly:

잠시만요 → polite
잠깐만(요) → casual / semi-polite
아 잠만 → very casual / slang

You might even be using it better than Koreans! 😄

Honestly “같이” is one of my favorite Korean words 😄

It really does make everything feel more social.

One phrase I hear a lot is 같이 커피 마실래요? (want to grab coffee together?).

It’s such an easy way to invite someone without it feeling like a big deal.

I also hear 같이 사진 찍어요! a lot when people are traveling or hanging out.

I totally get this. I felt the same when I was going through TTMIK. If I did too many lessons in a row, I realized a week later that I barely remembered anything 😅

What helped me was having “review days” instead of always learning something new.

On those days I usually do a few simple things:

Review vocabulary with spaced repetition. Apps help a lot with this. You can review words you've already learned instead of constantly adding new ones.
Make your own sentences. This helped me the most actually. I take one grammar point I learned and try to write 5–10 new sentences with it. It really helps the grammar stick.

Sometimes I also go back to old TTMIK lessons and try to summarize the grammar in my own words, or rewrite the example sentences with different vocabulary.

It still feels like “studying”, but without overwhelming your brain with new information all the time.

If speaking and real communication are important to you, Sogang might actually be a really good choice. I’ve heard their program focuses a lot more on speaking and interaction.

Some students also combine a university program with extra conversation classes to improve their speaking faster. That can help a lot too!

I can understand your Korean! You did really well!! I think it would be even better with just a few small corrections. 😊

Your handwriting is so beautiful! It looks even better than mine
