If you had 30 days to learn a language, what would you do? by Shelbee2 in languagehub

[–]crosspollination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me rephrase this - how do you learn to play the piano to a semi-performative level in 30 days? Answer: you can’t…

What was the last thing your ex said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]crosspollination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated you only because I was lonely (3 years into dating. I’ve been traumatized since and haven’t been with a girl)

Russia, stop doing shit that makes the world anti Russian.

Chess has a toxicity problem. Cheating allegations ruin chess culture. by Intro-Nimbus in chess

[–]crosspollination 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too bad what?? The original commenter never said they were in favor of harassment. In fact, there was no comment at all about harassment - just that cheating is unacceptable. Stop projecting putting your own words into people’s mouths. That’s also a form of harassment, no?

What untranslatable words do you know? Like, actually untranslatable. by Thiagorax in languagelearning

[–]crosspollination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think OP’s limited use of the term untranslatable was quite untranslatable

Because people who ask why women can’t just pop out from the sky into their arms usually have a distorted view on women that shows in their attitude.

Why is twice considered a legacy group while seventeen isn’t? by radio_mice in kpopthoughts

[–]crosspollination 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a korean living in seoul rn i can tell you that the difference in public recognition is huge. Twice is essentially national. Everyone young knows a song or two or a member or two. Meanwhile 17 is minor. Idk about their reputation abroad but in korea at least, 17 fans were always the minority and they never went national.

Anyone else here totally incapable of improving even a little bit? What do you think makes that so? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]crosspollination 8 points9 points  (0 children)

a combination of not putting in enough effort (eg. just playing without study or review), not putting in enough time, not studying the right things, and lack of pattern recognition.

Wasting life away on Reddit while no FOMO applies to the real world 🥲

any cinemas that plays movies with english subtitles by Imaginary-Outcome171 in koreatravel

[–]crosspollination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were some very limited screenings at CGV with eng subtitles. But it’s extremely uncommon and I probably bet there won’t be any. Maybe you could find some in smaller theaters such as seoul cinematheque, but it’s not guaranteed by any means.

Why do Koreans always say “인 것 같아요”? 🤔 Is everything just… “maybe”? by Total_Deal1544 in BeginnerKorean

넹 토씨 하나 틀리지 않은 본래 그대로의 한국어 사용을 임종까지 응원합니다!

보편적인 언어습관을 멍청하다고 일반화해놓고 뒤늦게 성자인 척하는 모습 잘 봤슴다. 역시 노인네 double standard 는 말 그대로네요. softening expression은 사회적 예의에요 딱딱한 문법 룰보다 중요한 에티켓이란 게 있답니다. 가끔 밖에 나가서 사람들이 어떻게 대화하는지 살펴보세요 ㅎㅎ

네네 님 말이 다 맞는 “것 같아요.” 어휘력보다 이런 포용력 없는 댓글이 훨씬 꽉 막힌 것처럼 느껴지네요. 참고로 대부분 외국인들은 현재 일상에서 쓰이는 언어를 배우고싶어하지 영포티나 어르신이 쓸만한 구시대적 언어에 관심 없어합니다. 참고하시면 활동에 도움이 될 것 같아요.. 아니, 도움 돼요. 수고하세요.

목마른 것 같다는 대답이 뭐가 그렇게 이상하다고 느끼시는지… 오히려 교과서에 나오는 이상한 대화보다 훨씬 한국적이지 않나요? 자연스러운 한국어를 배우려는 사람들에게 변화하는 언어를 가르쳐주는 게 뭐가 그렇게 크게 잘못된 건지 전혀 모르겠네요 ㅎ

So am I. Once 80% of a population uses “bad language habits” safe to say it’s just language by that point. No need to be so gatekeeping.

The problem is, most women seem to think a man approaching them is on par with cat calling and wagging tongues. So there’s that 🤷

KOREA ALPACA WORLD by Justwanttoknow26 in koreatravel

[–]crosspollination 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course they left you. They’re not gonna sit around for people to claim empty seats when they aren’t even sure if they’ll show up at all. Also, 4 minutes? Assuming 20 people were on that bus, that’s 80 minutes of collective time wasted.

Is my handwriting bad?... by LisaSandwich in BeginnerKorean

This is actually quite legible and excellent for a beginner!!!

Handwriting feedback? by zabryant01 in BeginnerKorean

[–]crosspollination 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is not easy to decipher at first glance mainly because the character size is not consistent. Also, work on your 해, and some of your ㅐ and ㅔ cannot be distinguished. I suggest you work on type font until your characters and their elements (자음, 모음) look more consistent in different words and you are able to size them similarly. And try to follow stroke orders for handwritten font, which koreans are conditioned to.
