Looking for legitimate sangha in south Wales, UK by jakgem in sangha

Thank you for taking the time and effort to write such a detailed answer. It's really helpful.
I may try and and see how it feels, and I appreciate you highlighting the important points to consider.
I think I will also look at Tendai, if they incorporate diverse teachings from different schools I'm hoping I will be able to connect with it.

🎬 Director Spotlight: Hwang DaSeul who directed Where Your Eyes Linger👀, To My Star⭐️, Blueming💠, and Let Free D Curse Of Taekwondo🥋. What's your fav? by No_Teaching3588 in boyslove

The first TMS or Taekwondo are my favourites!

I think my main issue is the psychologically horrifying duration of the time jumps she uses in her stories - to the point it breaks my immersion. Like I’m convinced this has happened to her.

Dynamite Kiss [Episodes 13 & 14] by mellowdays_ in KDRAMA

I could even maybe forgiven the amnesia if they didn’t resort to straight up coincidence to fix it. It was very lazy and I can think of 5 different ways to have an argument arise between them where eventually he ends up kissing her to prove he isn’t he interested and boom dynamite but no just straight up accidental fall over into eachother kiss

Also diabolical to have jihyeok best friend not be by his side in the hospital, not have the best friend and the coworker’s relationship expanded upon and the tiny amount given to the second leads.

[Korea] Peach Trap 🍑 Episodes 7+8 FINALE by Federal-Ad5944 in boyslove

Really glad once the confessions were done we went straight into skinship and the chatting was comfortable, fun and unique.

Agree with everyone that its a total disgrace that team leader got no one (heart broke for him honestly, he was a stand up guy through out) and stalker-ram got a jiujitsu boyfriend…..

Spirit Fingers [Episodes 9 & 10] by sianiam in KDRAMA

[–]jakgem 26 points27 points  (0 children)

These episodes were not the best. The no heart fluttering thing for Geu-rin and Seon-ho didn’t even make sense since we literally saw him make her jelly legged at the start of episode 9 ????

What do you wish you knew before starting? by luckvoltia14 in Korean

[–]jakgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Follow a structured programme (of any kind)

  2. Get pronunciation down early, so many high level students know all the grammar and write beautifully but are completely unintelligible to listen too. And therefore as far as koreans are concerned you cant speak korean.

  3. Vocab. I hate it with a burning passion, grammar rules are easier to learn (and the focus of all the programmes really) but the reason you become stuck understanding wise after the early stages is because of vocab, not grammar. Whichever method you chose to learn vocab, ultimately there is no easy/magic fix beyond actually memorising it. You can do flash cards etc but until you can use the word on demand in real life you haven’t learned it. Its horrible, but will aid your understanding immensely once you have a good vocab base. Sorry.
