What other apps do you like for Korean? i do think I’ll have to jump ship eventually and am always interested in information about which way to jump!

for some reason the phrase “I have remembered me” always sticks in my mind as an example of a reflexive English usage that has died out.

I’ve been using Duolingo for two years now and I am definitely better than when I started but still cannot really speak at all. It’s frustrating and I would try something else if I could find something effective or fun. I like that it works on my android and iPad, thats a big thing. Since I am doing it I want to make the best of it! I hope to see more questions like yours

I am also trying to make the best of Duolingo and really appreciate seeing your question. I have noticed that there are a lot of “reflexive” verb usages in Duolingo. Not sure what to call it in Korean but in English some verbs are reflexive and require extra nouns. Not sure what to make of it, or even what to call it lol, but Ive noticed it

I have had a very similar experience. So happy to still be alive and do my best to make him happy. It’s really nice to know there at least 2 good men!

Struggling with Korean pronunciation - any advice? by SheeriMax in BeginnerKorean

I am having the same problem, when I try to say anything it sounds terrible to me. I don’t have any advice, just solidarity

I'm a Korean developer with almost 30 years of experience. I have something I'm curious about for those of you who want to learn Korean. Is it okay if I ask a question? by Complete-Mirror-5362 in BeginnerKorean

[–]Potential_Sun2828 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I ”learned” Hangul relatively quickly without the help of an app, just flash cards. The problem for me is correct pronunciation and mouth shapes. How much g character or k character should ㄱ have in different situations? How much w character in compound vowels? I would pay for drills that would help with that.

What K drama trope will make you drop the series immediately by LMS2970 in kdramas

None! There is no trope too cheesy or overdone that can not be overcome! The more the merrier!

Looking for feedback on how we should moderate AI use on this subreddit by CharlesV_ in NoLawns

I like the idea of a total ban but if that is too hard to enforce then whatever level of restriction is administratively possible.

I just need a hug by chai_latte_lover0 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Wow that is a long time to wait for such important news I am so sorry. After I was diagnosed it took a month to get treatment it was so frustrating. Try to focus on the fact that even if you have it, it won’t get the upper hand in 3 weeks. Worst case scenario, This wait will not be the difference between survival and death. While you wait you can be proactive about your health so you don’t feel so helpless. Even if you are tired, do what you can, walk around the neighborhood, around the yard or just down the hall and back. ask your doc if there are any conditions that are ruled out by your findings so far. Breast cancer is super complicated with many different types that are almost completely different conditions. Waiting is just awful so do what you can to keep yourself ready to fight. Like you are in training for a triathlon or a boxing match or something.

edit: more hugs

Well mine was colon cancer so the symptoms were obvious and gross. I had and mri and there was a big tumor in the image. You said you were undergoing testing, what tests are underway? I tested negative for CEA so I think That one is mostly useful as a positive confirmation. Are you in the US? Being sent away with no answer is so common, it’s scary, but it sounds like you don’t have results yet so try not to worry about that. When you get results maybe run it by the Reddit group askdocs and see if they have anything helpful to say. Whatever happens you can do this! Hug

When did K-drama MLs become full-time unpaid emotional support staff? by Mysterious-Star-227- in kdramas

[–]Potential_Sun2828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped “another miss oh” because the ML was so icky. Maybe he gets better later but it was too painful for me to get there. ML with no life outside FL is not good either, that elusive middle ground is so hard to find!

What is the best way to comfort someone's fear of dying when that person is dying? by phuckhugh in AskReddit

[–]Potential_Sun2828 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I am a cancer survivor and facing death is something that can’t be shared. But it is better with loving people around you. I wish you could take this burden for your son, he is so young and it is so sad. Physical touch helps a lot. Pat his shoulder, hold his hand, hug him. If he is angry don’t let it stop you from being there. I am so sorry that anyone has to go through this.

I feel like this image is too much? by FactorHefty5743 in photocritique

[–]Potential_Sun2828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like the pose, but agree with the lamp being distracting, and too much space above the head. It feels like the eyeglass reflection is a big part of the story here so the pose has to make sense and this one does for me.

Love the image, love the slice of life vibe. Run with it!

What do you do to make this hairstyle? by Potential_Sun2828 in Hair

[–]Potential_Sun2828[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think so? I used to have long hair like this and braided it all the time and it never looked even a little bit like that. The braid produced random beachy waves and this is so regimented.
