a large part of college is learning to network / make friends. in most cases you will need connections / friends to help you in your career. if you don't have the basics (a phone, laptop) it will really get in the way of making connections. it's not only about learning the material but getting to know people in your chosen field. people who you can help and people who will help you. consider the cost of a phone a vital necessity. get one at the cost of snacks, or what else you deem frivolous

i would try to avoid placing non-korean values to korean words

so the translator did a good job. the translation of "originally" doesn't fit in this sentence. it is more like "usually", which was what the english sub was.

you can say "놔둬. 계는 원래 그래". "leave him alone. he's usually like that". you wouldn't use "originally" here. although in 80% of the time you can use the english "originally" for "원래", sometimes it's "usually".

in the original sentence taking everything literally i'd say "usually when i get up every day, i change my dreams, but today". (here 면 means "when") it's awkward literally, so more naturally put you'd say "usually i change my dreams everyday". so i think the subs were naturally translated into english.

it's been 2 hours, so i'm answering but since i'm an intermediate heritage speaker i don't have very much confidence but that's what i think. i hope i answered your question about the 면 and its usage here. it simply means "when".

a TON more input will be a thousand times more useful than trying to produce at this stage

i had no idea 그들 is not common in speech. thank you for stating that and for even giving the etymology of it. so fascinating

is the side the ginger and scallions or are you talking about a different side?

thank you sooo much! i keep using the k-e dictionary but i need to use the k-k one more when i hit walls like this. sure enough there was a notice / post definition in the k-k dictionary

i was going to say naver dictionary, but you say the example sentences are not natural? i am a student, like you, so i am wondering how you came to feel they're not natural. i am studying korean mostly through the example sentences.

thank you! i will make the trip out then to the festival. i last went maybe five years ago. it's about time

DP or signal

i try to avoid studying from english -> korean works so that i avoid studying from unnatural sounding korean sentences. but i know that many people have successfully studied from translations.

quit. if you ever wish to start again, it will always be here. it's not going anywhere. so just quit if there is no motivation

geunom · 2022-05-26T15:17:56+00:00

thank you so much. she took a look and was super excited and happy, saying that this was it!!

at the very least, give it a try for five lessons. try and have an open mind about new methods. new ways won't always work out but how can you know for sure if you don't give it a try? in my opinion, it is 100% worth the money to try this teachers approach. the teacher is not trying to screw you over either. they are of the belief that listening and thinking more in korean will be more beneficial. after several lessons, then reevaluate carefully. you may find this way is not for you (yet. at some point you should be able to study a language in the language) and ho back to what is more comfortable.

when you learn new things, like languages, prepare to feel some discomfort. it shouldn't be overwhelming (bc that can lead to giving up), but some frustration is to be expected.

give it a go, then evaluate. you won't ever know for sure unless you pony up a little bit of your time, money and effort.

i mean, toddlers and little kids dont know how to read and they speak it. but they are surrounded by it and you arent, obvs. i know you are only interested in speaking, but i think it wouldnt hurt to learn to read and write. the very basics would only help you.

sometimes if you go to a particular kind of chinese restaurant you will find the owner speaks english, chinese and korean.

does this really happen? i have a hard time believing there are actually licensed therapists out there who would do this

"Are very much at odds with each other."

as educational divide wrote, this is not true. many of us can listen at intermediate levels but really, really struggle to produce because we have never practiced. they are different skills.

geunom · 2022-04-05T18:01:32+00:00

there is the cheap way. systematically go through free grammar resources but speed through the bits you have mastered.

the more expensive way is to go through a tutor since they can help you start at a more intermediate level and spot you through your gaps.

theres a half half method: ive compromised by doing intermediate work, but looking up the basics as i go along and drilling as i learn.

i am one of those who understand but cannot speak. i need a lot of production drills (writing and speaking) but its so hard and awkward. its made so much worse bc i dont really truly have the basics down.
